<p>I can’t believe I had never heard of the great Florence Jenkins before now.</p>
<p>How about a basketball hoop. Just keep dribbling loudly and hitting the backboard a lot and a some nice loud commentary and cheering…:)</p>
<p>Certain heavy metal German bands could also do the trick. Some of their songs could wake up the dead (OP could shoot a few fireworks while playing their songs for the complete experience):</p>
<p>[Rammstein</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein]Rammstein”>Rammstein - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>I have to look for the infamous techno that my lab mate was trying to silence… Would be great for our OP’s tunes collection.</p>
<p>I believe this is the traditional remedy in such situations. </p>
<p>[The</a> Best Guitar Smash - YouTube](<a href=“The Best Guitar Smash - YouTube”>The Best Guitar Smash - YouTube)</p>
<p>Could not remember the name of that particular band, however, found an oldie but goodie:</p>
<p>[Kraftwerk</a> - The Robots - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>I think this thread is hilarious.</p>
<p>The Sesame Street song is regarded as torture…</p>

<p>I would be blasting the Black-Eyed Peas. Something with a heavy beat. It would totally throw off violin playing.</p>
<p>^^Bartok vs Sesame Street?</p>
<p>They also used “Shiny Happy People” at Gitmo. Even Michael Stipe thought that was excessive.</p>
<p>I’m surprised no one has mentioned It’s a Small World After All… 
yet.</p>
<p>Well, now, BunsenBurner…there’s annoyance, and then there’s violating the Geneva Convention!</p>
<p>^^Yes, CHS2011Mom, that’s right!!</p>
<p>You know, you could Utube this guy, and make him famous…in a really bad way.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>darn it, BunsenBurner. Now it’s in my head. :(</p>
<p>A set of outdoor rated Klipsch speakers (very good speakers popular for rock music) playing “Time” by Pink Floyd…</p>
<p>I remember reading a story about someone who left their apartment for a month with a loop of the “doo doo doo’s” from “Suite Judy Blue Eyes” playing over and over and over…</p>
<p>How about Inna gadda devida (oh I know I didn’t spell that correctly)? It goes on and on and on. Just play it loudly like it is supposed to be played?</p>
<p>The Wall by Pink Floyd would work too!</p>
<p>We Will Rock You…queen.</p>
<p>We watch TV outside a lot. I wonder what neighbors think, but any music/ TV is much better than taking care of lawn, hour after hour…on a weekend. We do not do any, we have asked our service to come on weekdays. But there are some non-working neighbors who are at home on weekdays. And violin is NOT a drum, maybe you should feel very lucky about this fact. What if they discover about lack of violin talent and decided to switch to drums? Maybe you should not say anything at all,…might get much worse.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Isn’t likely to work…both are too good to be torturous for most.</p>
<p>I’d still say anything by the BeeGees, Vanilla Ice, or Yoko Ono will be far more effective. </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>A Yoko Ono tune? Good grief, talk about a nightmare. I’m old enough to remember hearing Yoko sing. I gave her a pass on the backup singing she did on her husband’s ‘Give Peace a Chance,’ but ‘The Ballard of John and Yoko’ as well as her solo performances were just too much to bear.</p>
