Really, Jukebox That Touts Its Ability To Download Any Popular Song That Isn’t Already On It?
I wonder what your definition of “popular” would be.
Let’s say there’s a song, we’ll call it, oh, “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” This nameless mystery song has been covered by pop luminaries from Mariah Carey to Smash Mouth to Bon Jovi to U2 to Cher to Bruce Springsteen to Hanson to Joey Ramone to Death Cab For Cutie. It originates from one of the most influential and popular albums (holiday-themed or otherwise) of all time. The original singer thereof (we’ll call her, oh, “Darlene Love,” for example) still sings it on David Letterman’s show every single year, and it is one of her quintessential catalogue pieces (holiday-themed or otherwise).
Oh good, Internet Jukebox–I see you have two discs by our mystery artist. One appears to be a “Greatest Hits” of sorts, and of course the song in question would be on that. No? Nowhere? Strange…well, I’ll try this other disc, which appears to be a “Christmas Songs” collection and since this is far and away her most popular Christmas song (and in the running for most popular of her songs, period), that should be a no-brainer…
…
…nope, not there either.
What does it take to get pop music’s greatest holiday song of the past 45 years on a jukebox that claims to have it all and the capability to get the rest?
Really, though?
