"Santa, Baby" has always chapped my ass because it features your basic high maintenance female wheedling consumer shit out of some guy. It sucks on so many levels it would take me several long, boring paragraphs to outline all the suckage.

The other shall not be named because I'm engaged in a contest to see how long we can all go before hearing our brains go "pa rumpa pum SHIT" to store Muzak. I do not want to invoke that evil thing up from hell. I'm listening to Beirut Nights radio for the duration.
