Acceptable context for The Grinch

Kudos to KDHX for playing the entire audio from "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" on "Hip City" yesterday.  Can we all please agree that "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is best heard within the entire context of the show and not separately?  When played out of context on the radio, it doesn't segue with any Christmas carol and wears out its welcome quickly.  "Welcome Christmas," on the other hand, stands just as well on its own.  "Trim Up The Tree" does, too, to an extent.
