My better half had some Sirius-XM holiday channel playing while we were tidying and decorating a week or so ago. "Acoustic Christmas," I believe it was called.
The playlist was predominantly solo singers accompanied by an acoustic guitar, ukulele, or minimal piano. As one fellow sang softly over a gently plucked guitar, I remarked on how many of the songs sounded so goddam sad.
"This song is supposed to be sad," explained my better half.
"It's 'The Chipmunk Song,'" I replied. "He just sang 'Me, I want a hula hoop.'"
