An open letter to Grey's Anatomy

Dear Grey's Anatomy

I am not a regular viewer of your show and have no problems with your storylines (from what I can tell from the two episodes I have seen), and you are obviously very popular with the majority of the women around the country, but can someone tell me why, oh why, you chose to ruin two perfectly good songs for me?

When I first heard Chasing Cars from Snow Patrol, I couldn't get enough! 'What a beautiful song' I thought to myself, adding it to my favourites playlist on my iPod. However, now that I am subjected to the voice-over version (with snippets of dialogue from your little show), the acoustic version and the live version (which is actually painful to listen to), I have to say enough is enough!

Then came along The Fray's How to Save a Life... again, good song. I have the album too. But come on, did you really need another soppy song to state your case? I know your show revolves around doctors, yes I get that they are saving lives, very clever assocation. Well done. But when I have to listen to that whiney acoustic version over and over again (what happened to the no repeat work day radio ethic?) I am about ready to put an end to the lives of all involved in producing this drama!

So please Grey's Anatomy, please don't take another popular song and buddy it up with your show! Maybe next time you can get McDreamy to release a song and watch all the fans drool over the filmclip (great opportunity to subject us to more footage from past shows no matter how hideous the song actually is). I hope you like my suggestion.

Yours sincerely
