      <title>iTunes Gift Bombing for XMas</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;While contemplating gifts for the family this year an idea for a gag gift hit me, purchase some particularly horrible song for someone on iTunes.  Don&amp;#8217;t be thoughtless and track down some dreck that would never be listened to by the prospective recipient. Instead be devious and think of a song that would get stuck in someone&amp;#8217;s head.  A catchy pop song that is now out of date is fun, or a singer they will hate, and bonus points for bad holiday songs.  &lt;br /&gt;Simply &amp;#8216;Gift This Music&amp;#8217; on iTunes to let your friends and loved ones know how much you care/or don&amp;#8217;t care :-)&lt;/p&gt;


Prospective Torture Top Ten (skewing mostly 80&amp;#8217;s here)

		&lt;li&gt;Jingle Bells &amp;#8211; Singing Dogs (only as part of an album on iTunes, for shame!)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Stars-Star-Wars-Album/dp/B0000033VG"&gt;Sleigh Ride &amp;#8211; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;C3PO&lt;/span&gt; and R2-D2 &amp;lt;- That&amp;#8217;s not a typo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
