Please tell me you’re not implying that you don’t like this song. I might have to pit you.

Let us not forget the electrified versions of Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” and Enya’s “Only Time”, both of which I had to experience repeatedly on local radio. I like Enya in general, and I find Céline to be tolerable, but these abominations were simply unacceptable – they were also locally more popular than the originals.

This is a lack on your part. Yes, _your_ part.
