dear top 40 radio

Top 40 Radio station,

I have been meaning to send you an email, since I have been suffering endlessly to your station on a daily basis and came up with a few suggestions as to make your station better.

Now, I understand I do not have to listen but at times there are situations in life where people may have no choice in the matter. Such as working, in a waiting room, or possibly getting tortured by someone for fun. I also understand most people, well, the general public find your station enjoyable, but I have a feeling I am not the only one who does not want to listen to horrible music.

Anyway, here are my suggestions, as follows:

1) Playing the same song 5 times in a span of 6-8 hours is not at all cool. I realize some people tune in at different times, but how many times can you handle hearing that awful "American Boy" song, or better yet, some bad singer sounding like she's crying the lyrics "take me away".

2) Lose the ads for condoms.. it's just creepy.

3) I had no idea radio "noises and sounds" were still around, "BAM, BLAM, SQUEEEKK, BASH BOOM MIX 95.6-six-six-ix". Gross. Make your theme song sound like you're killing someone, which is what you are doing to me.

4) When you happen to use the word 'variety' to describe your station, it has to have some sort of actual variety. Throwing in an old Michael Jackson song (a bad one), or Madonna song (also bad) doesn't cut it.

5) Everytime you play the song "I kissed a girl and I liked it" God kills a baby.

What is put out there are music these days is really terrible. I don't think lazier lyrics have been written in another point in time.
