All you Dominick haters will like this one. 3WS is not playing "Dominick the Donkey" this year. I called SVD today to ask why I haven't heard the song yet, and she told me that her boss will not let her play it. I reminded her that Dominick has been a 3WS Xmas tradition every year, and although she agreed with me, she reiterated that although she wants to play it, she is not allowed by the powers that be. That must also be why there have not been any of the usual Bob Rivers comedy songs either, like "There's Something Stuck Up in the Chimney", "The 12 Pains of Xmas", or my favorite, "Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire". There's several other songs that have also been banished this year too. Their PD must be a real joy to work with. After all the years 3WS has been doing this, you'd think the PD would let SVD handle the Xmas Music without his sticking his nose in. However, he must love "Sleigh Ride" That damn song, especially the version by Leroy Anderson, must play at least 5x each day. Then there's the version by the Carpenters, which is absolutely horrible and also plays multiple times each day. I guess "Sleigh Ride" is their Xmas version of "Piano Man". Their Xmas music used to be fun. Now even that has changed. Is their PD's last name Scrooge?
