Please stop

It's unfortunate that so much Holiday Music lends itself to using children's choirs


Oh come on, Jeremy...let the kids in on the spirit of the season, too.


I'm all for it. I just don't want to have to hear it. Children's choirs are the bane of my existence, in case you didn't know. In fact, it's a sentiment that's shared by lots of people who don't write a Blag of their Instant Messenger statuses. A while back, I introduced you all to The Most Unwanted Music, which is a 20-minute long song comprised of the primary elements that people most hated to hear in songs. These included opera singers rapping, screaming political rhetoric, and holiday-themed commercial jingles sung by a children's choir.

Don't believe me that they're awful? Here's your proof:

Christmas
Yom Kippur
Labor Day


They're all kinda the same.


Entirely beside the point. They're jingles using a children's choir, and they're awful. Enjoy!


So you said you'd be posting an answer today...


Indeed. In his legendary hockey career, the great Gordie Howe managed to complete the eponymous "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" a full two times, both against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

October 11, 1953: Scored a goal, assisted on Red Kelly's goal, and fought Fernie Flaman
March 21, 1954: Howe scored the opening goal, assisted on two Ted Lindsay goals, and fought Ted "Teeder" Kennedy.

So, this thing about other teams having their best games against the Leafs... that goes all the way back to the 1950s? Way to keep tradition alive!
