Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. Sung by Lily Allen.
Loved the song before. Was a fan of the Allen.
But it's The Partnership's (place where I work) advert song this Christmas.

It has earwormed me even though we do not play any music in my store.
Below are my problems with the advert.
My issues.
Feel free to ignore.

Picky, picky, picky me. A hare (doesn't look like a hare) wakes up a bear (do they even live in the same environment) because said bear has never experienced Christmas.
Wait, what?
Doesn't the bear hibernate for a very good reason?
Wouldn't waking a bear in the depths of Winter cause it to like, I dunno, die or something? Or have spindly cubs? Or have to eat hares?
And given animals don't have souls and we glory in eating them for Christmas, and throwing most of their dead bodies away, would they really want to celebrate the birth of Jebus? Because if it's just all about trees and presents and sparkles then shouldn't the forest animals celebrate a time of plenty instead?

Okay. It has become an earworm. I do catch myself singing it.
The rest I just wanted to get off my chest.
