If there were official Thanksgiving music
would you play it to shut down those who are already (or have been) playing Christmas music, or would it simply become irritating in the same manner as Christmas music?

1. To well with that.
Play some death metal. Play the angriest, loudest, most un-christmas music you can find and tell them that you'll only stop when they do. :evilgrin:

10. Thank you.
I can be a vicious SOB when the situation calls for it. I once spent a week playing Dolly Parton, Barry Manalow, Barbra Streisand, BeeGees and other gems to shut up a coworker. Same idea, different ammunition. :P

:patriot:

2. If there were official Thanksgiving music,
then people probably wouldn't start playing Christmas music so early!

Maybe we should start a campaign to declare Radiohead to be official Thanksgiving music!

3. No, they'd just start playing Thanksgiving music the week before Halloween.
Then mix the two right around now.

Enough to make one wish for death.

21. Exactly and I love to listen to that once a year!
Still makes me smile! :D

Our local radio ( WBCN ? ) plays it every year or used to. It's a ritual!

13. harvest tunes? Woody Guthrie songs?
Cab Calloway songs about food? ;)

anything that is overplayed can become tiresome.

18. Us, too. My mom would start singing it as we crossed
the Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi. I grew up thinking it was written by someone who crossed the Mississippi every Thanksgiving.

19. No, I hate that tedious "Alice's Restaurant" as much as I hate Christmas music
