I don't mind parodies, but Top-of-the-Pops-album-esque dross superheats my urine.

They never seem to cut off the crap ones. YouTube is also grinding my gears at the moment, I set to play on 'shuffle' but it has duplicated several songs so far. There's about 100 on my playlist, there's no need. (But at least I like all the songs on my own playlist )
