Pesky television critics ruin everything.

Critics complained that a song used in the season five premiere of “Mad Men” — Dusty Springfield’s 1967 hit, “The Look of Love” — wasn’t actually released until five months after the episode’s events took place.

“Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner remedied the historical inaccuracy by changing the tune, Rolling Stone reports.

“We have replaced this song with one more suited to the time period and you, along with our audience, will hear it for the first time during our March 25th broadcast,” Weiner wrote in a statement to critics.

“Although we take license for artistic purposes with the end-title music, we never want the source music to break from the time period we are trying to recreate,” Weiner wrote. “As someone who has a deep appreciation for details, I want to thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

Presumed subtext of the statement: “Jeez, do you guys really have to notice every little thing?”
