I like Christmas music, but having to hear the word "is-rye-ell" just drives me up a wall.

Why? Why is it pronounced "is-rye-ell". Ugh! Drives me nuts!

Just took a break from this podcast for a few minutes to scan voat and a couple of others. This guy just told about where we got music and what it is used for.

That because it's mispronounced. Israel should be pronounced "Is-rah-el". Everyone pronounces it as "Is-ree-el", which is incorrect. I'm sure people at one time did sing is as "Is-rah-el", but no one gave a shit and in time it's pronounced with "rye" instead of "rah". I learned the song in elementary school (at a time when such things were done" with the pronunciation you mention and even as a young child it annoyed me because it was wrong and stupid.

Must be The First Noel, which has a fairly bad chorus generally...

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of israel

Perhaps lose the israel part and start singing a new version, something like:

Noel, Noel, they sang that morn
Hailing the day that Christ is born

You could always convert to Paganism and sing songs about Yule and wassailing instead of singing about jews and israel.
