This subject is one that has been discussed awhile back -- the dislike
of certain songs that unfortunately have come to misrepresent the
player piano.

The number one song I absolutely cannot stand is "The Entertainer".
I have lost count of just how many times I have heard that stupid roll
on some YouTube video.  I have lost my respect for it.

The number two song I cannot stand is "Dueling Banjos".  I liked it
the first time I heard a player piano roll of it, but after a while
it became extremely irritating.  It seems as if the only song one
_can_ play on a player is "Dueling Banjos".

That song has also been the ultimate disgrace to some otherwise
fantastic banjo players. "Hey, can you play 'Dueling Banjos'?"
asks some jerk.  I am sick of that song!
