If you have an annoying song stuck in your head, this will get it out
... and replace it with another one!
We have Christmas music album produced by Windham Hill -- elevator music for accoustic-loving yuppies like me. A couple of songs sound just like they were performed by W.G. "Snuffy" Walden, the TV music-theme guru who created the catchy, elevator-music-for-accoustic-loving-yuppies theme music for Thirtysomething and My So-Called Life.* In fact, Walden plays a lovely guitar version of Oh Come All Ye Faithful.
A Snuffy Waldon wannabe plays a languid, slowed-down version of Jingle Bells on accoustic guitar. I think you can imagine the sound. Every time I hear it, I supply the classic alternative lyrics, below. (Elipses and line breaks are inserted to simulate the dirge-like tempo).
Happy holidays!

*To be fair, Walden's theme music credit list is huge, and includes a variety of styles.

Jingle . . . . bells
Batman . . . . smells
Robin . . . .
laid . . . . an egg
Batmobile . . . .
lost a wheel . . . .
Joker . . . .
got away
Happy holidays!

I can't believe you forgot The West Wing, Walden's current oevre. Those other themes, I can't even remember. When I jog my memory, the only thing that comes up is the theme from Hill Street Blues and that's that other guy... Wossname.

I didn't forget The West Wing (orchestral)... or Sports Night (electric), for that matter, but those weren't in the accoustic Windham Hill style.
