Radio Gremlins

Head Gremlin:  Thank you for coming, radio gremlins.  Now, how can we best drive listeners crazy during the Christmas season?  G1:  We can start playing Christmas music in November, and then promptly cut off at 11:00 PM on December 25th.  HG:  Ah, an excellent start.  G2:  We could arrange to have every station in town play "The Twelve Days of Christmas" at the same time.  HG:  Good, good...  G3:  Play songs from Christmas movies that aren't actually Christmas songs.  HG:  Almost there...  G4:  "Dominick the Donkey"?  Everyone else:  Yes!!!

To their credit, I don't think the local radio station ever actually played "Dominick the Donkey" last year.  I may have sent them an email specifically begging them not to, but that's beside the point.  I'm probably not the only one who thought some gremlins needed to be cleaned out of the system.
