I have a Muckin' Great Clubbe....

... for game designers who think it's a good idea to give a game four bars of music that just repeat.  Over and over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over.  And over....

And what makes it worse is when the game author picks something that you actually liked until you heard four distinctive bars of it a thousand times in a row.

This specific instance is a seven-note sample from the beginning of Alan Parsons' Eye in the Sky. But our smalls have half a dozen different games that do it. There's one particular game line, Dally Doo or something like that, which is particularly bad about doing it.
