Twas the night before Christmas, and the happy elf Sammie was out on the streets busking. Santa told her she shouldn't play Christmas music, because people were getting tired of it.
Sammie had an array of songs. She merrily played through her list. There was one problem though, nobody was listening to her! She was playing some of the best songs ever, and nobody paid attention.
Honestly, Sammie played a bunch of outdated songs that nobody listens to. Next Christmas, Sammie plays all the popular songs, and finally gets the listeners she deserves.
The End
When you are busking, you want to play songs that are popular. If you play songs that nobody knows, most people won't stop and listen. Any popular song will do, but make sure the song is clean!
