The good part is that it was about an 8 hour long tape with no repeats. Even so, I was able to know which song was coming next. Speaking of music in stores... Remember that shop in Disneyland's Frontierland? Where they would play the scene from Pocahontas 'Colors of the Wind' on a continuous loop? And pipe the music through the store? And all the cast members looked like they were losing their minds?

I also feel sorry for the people who have to listen to the same music over and over again. I was joking with someone at a Xmas store the other day about him hating the music.

Originally Posted By mele HA! tigger_dis, my Bash pal, sent me the Chipmunks cd. My daughter promptly stole it from me. LOL There are a few cds that do NOT make me feel safe and happy but I'll save my usual complaints for the annual "Worst Xmas Music" thread. Okay, I'll complain about one: The Christmas Shoes. That one makes me feel downright hostile. LOL
Originally Posted By -em LOL! I also hate that song... I noticed that all the stores I hit today had their christmas tracks playing. Even ACMoore which was weird as they are going out of business and had everything from Halloween and Christmas stuff out to Valentines, St. Patricks and Easter stuff out on clearance... I'm sorry there is just something *wrong* about buying Easter stuff in November with christmas music in the background...

Originally Posted By mele I made the mistake of buying a cd that has Xmas music from lots of Disney stars like The Jonas Bro, Miley, Demi Lovato, etc. Nearly every song is painful. Aly & AJ's song is definitely the best on the cd (but we already have their entire Xmas cd.)
