We Have These Rum-a-tum-tums.

So, I was cruising the outskirts of Baghdad in my rad Hyundai H1 minibus, with my gangsta lean in full effect, when I decided to sample some of the local radio stations. Most of the music was stereotypical of what you might expect from the region, but one song was most definitely a rock opera remix of "The Little Drummer Boy," complete with faithful English lyrics.

I would not have expected Iraqis to enjoy rock operas, or Christmas music, or a Middle-Eastern amalgamation of the two, even though the result was totally bitchin’. Who knew?
