This morning NPR greeted me with an attempt at an audio data graph.
The data that they were trying to represent was the relative spending of the various Democratic Presidential Candidates. The method of representation was this: for every million dollars that a candidate raised, they played a second (with corresponding fractions) of the chorus of "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees.
As I woke up listening to this, it suddenly occurred to me that if I stopped giving money to Public Radio pledge drives, I could afford a subscription to a satellite radio service.
