The only time of the year that we can listen to the radio in our department at work is the week or two before Christmas; our boss would let us listen to a channel that plays all Christmas music. Well, with the boss out on medical leave leaving me the wannabe boss, of course I let us all listen to the radio for the past three weeks. And for the past three weeks, we've had more then our fill of Christmas songs. If you think they play the same song over and over again on top forty radio stations these days, you ain't heard nothing till you heard this channel that plays nothing but Christmas music until midnight Christmas day. During our few weeks of listening, we quickly became bored with the songs, and decided to start keeping track of some statistics. Here's what we found:
In "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano, the term "Feliz Navidad" is sung 21 times.
In "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" by Bruce Springsteen, the phrase "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" is sung 24 times.
In "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms, the word "Jingle" is sung 26 times.
In "The Little Drummer Boy" by a big choir and orchestra whose name they didn't mention, "Pa Rum Pa Pum Pum" is sung 30 times.
In "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" by Dean Martin, the phrase "Let It Snow" is sung 26 times.
In "Here Comes Santa Clause" by Elvis Presley, the phrase "Santa Clause" is sung 18 times.
In "Happy Holidays" by Andy Williams, the word "Holidays" is sung 26 times (by Andy Williams and the background vocals.)
I don't know about you, but that made me tired.
