Dan spent a week actually getting lots of face time with co-workers, and
the one he spent the most time with kept singing little songs. When
asked, the co-worker admitted it was the PDSD, and Dan doesn't want
*any* truck with it now. (Apparently it's worse than "Love My Lips",
which was driving him batty for a couple of days. "Love My Lips" is
sung by a certain ridiculous computer-animated cucumber.)

The mother of the aforementioned 18-month-old finds those less annoying
than the PDSD. I guess what annoys varies depending on the person.
(Oh, and the only exposure I've had to those involved the purchased
videotapes, not the TV broadcasts. The TV broadcasts apparently have
the electronic appliances replay things, which the purchased videotapes
do not.)
