Tired of hearing everyone's personal musical soundtrack of seasonal Christmas joy? Let's face it, there's a limit to how many times we'll put up with hearing Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.


The folks at MOO, who are well known for making and providing modern, customized business, personal and greeting cards (I own a pack of their mini cards), feel your pain, and have put together an aural festive feast.


Called the Festive Funk Machine, MOO's website features 20 different musical bots that will play a variety of musical instruments, lay down backbeat tracks, and sing angelic-y melodies all designed to work in harmony. Start and stop the drums when you please, break out a little Trans Siberian Orchestra and usher in the electric guitar, and unleash the piano man to sing as you please.


It's all up to you, whether laying down a backbeat for your co-workers to sip non-spiked eggnog to, or bring in some mechanized background singers to "Woh woh woh" as your cubicle mates nosh on that hidden stash of butter cookies.



With just a few more clicks, office spreadsheet jockies can have an entire virtual orchestra gyrating, gear spinning and bumping to a tune they put together. So get to it!


Visit the Festive Funk Machine, turn up those speakers and click all of those cute musical bots, because you, yes you need to let the entire office know you'e got festive musical skillz.


Oh yeah, if you are lacking a seasonal soundtrack, here's my Mega Awesome Christmas playlist, courtesy Google Music, with over 180 seasonal hits. And yes, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer is guaranteed to be somewhere in there.
