You people are fools to miss the whole point: no raghead muzzies howling in the wind from a tower top five times a day.

[Salamander]

“This thread got me to wondering, how do you tell if bagpipes are out of tune?”

When none of the listeners are incited to battle or moved to tears.

Music, by definition, contains three parts: rhythm, melody and harmony. Rap has rhythm, but no melody. Since it has no melody, it can't have harmony. Rap, therefore, is 1/3 music, and therefore a "rap" number, diddy, whatever, can't be called a "song". Rapping is not singing.

However, it is so irritating and annoying, it should be a credible defense in murder trials. "But Your Honor, the deceased was listening to rap at loud volumes in traffic. Therefore, my client is not guilty of murder by reason of temporary insanity."

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

That’s going to rule out most live shows out there nowadays.

Does this mean that Zippity-Do -Da will be Zapped?

This means Justin Bieber and Mylie Cyrus can scratch this city from their tour plans. Their music is illegal there.

No more whistling past the graveyard, I presume. Might disturb some Democrats.

Banning rap and some forms of annoying contemporary garbege is OK with me, but then they can get on my case for my Irish ballads and rebel songs! Don’t like it, don’t listen!
