Due to some murmuring recently about what qualifies as a "crunchy tune," or for that matter, a "mountain jam," the time has come for some amount of clarification. The concepts themselves are difficult to explain, and perhaps have been distorted in recent years with the growing popularity of N.A.M.ly beats. To begin with, it should be noted that crunchy tunes encapsulate all musical tastes and flavors, ranging from R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly," and Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" and the Crash Test Dummies' "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm."However, one particular musical compilation has managed to reach the crescendo of crunchiness. While its creators must remain nameless, its title still manages to strike tranquility into hearts of listeners to this day: Mountain Jam. According to several sources, hearing this song for the first time caused one friend of the N.A.M. to quit his job, drop out of the University of Phoenix, and travel to Moose Factory, Ontario in order to search out his fur trading-post ancestors. What's more, the N.A.M. recently admitted that upon hearing a 28 minute live version of it this past summer, he questioned whether he still qualified as a N.A.M., as he had no idea on how to play the song on his bassoon. This sent him into a spiraling depression where he sought answers by "attending a taping" of Chris Hanson's "To Catch a Predator." Clearly, the power of this harmony is fantastic.
