Everyone’s ragging on the Christmas retail ambience songs, but at least you can mitigate the risks of hearing those ones by staying the fuck out of shopping malls. My top three:

• Cotton Eye Joe
• Whatever that song is that’s basically just “tonight’s gonna be a good night” over and over
• Danza Kuduro

Hang on, am I reading that correctly? You had nightmares for 7 years?

I think it was rated PG-13, not R

In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.
