Which is a very Pagan song, for a Christmas song.

Not convinced that people who buy it or give it airplay it at Christmas
have really thought about the words and the subtext. What next, Strange
Fruit?

I hate to fully deflate your sails since you have a good wind up, but
I suggest you read the Wikipedia article on Hallelujah. There's a well
established tradition of folks recording Xmas covers of it and it
being programmed as an Xmas song. The very recent cover by a group
called Pentatonix is a case in point.
Pentatonix: hey, almost on-topic there.

What I mean is, well I was listening to the local programmed FM
station, you
know the kind, no local DJ all music piped in from one source for a
national
chain, etc., etc., but... Right now it's playing all Christmas
music, all
the time. Since no one else local is doing it I tune in now and then
to
get a taste of the season. Well in the middle of a set they play
Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, and I couldn't stop laughing...
After my mirth subsided I thought about this for a while, "What Kind of
Idiot would allow this to get on the air as a "Christmas" song."
I don't mean what kind of bored underpaid employee would put it into the
compilation, that answer I know. No what supervisor wouldn't put the
kibosh
on it. I mean really some people will be offended, even those who get
the
joke and like Cohen's music might not like it as part of their Christmas
mix.
