Obnoxious Music Suggestions Wanted

Okay guys, while I applaud the entrepreneurial (sp?) spirit of the young men down the street, while they wash cars for folks they keep their stereos going.

Surprise of all surprises, they never play a lovely concerto or opera. They play ghetto "music". All you can hear is bass and the occasional obscenity.

Because I am an old, um, severely un-tanned woman, I plan to play music as I wash the minivan, weed the flowerbed, walk to the mailbox, whatever...whenever they are playing their music. That's right folks - a regular Battle of the Bands!

Keeping in mind they would love much of the very "music" we hate...I'd like your suggestions to add to my boom box sitting on the front porch. Opera, Polka, what do you suggest? And to keep them interested I'll need a good variety.

Because these concerts will end when they realize they need to turn theirs down (and they will, I think. They don't seem to be bad kids...just kids) the selections will need to be cheap and easily obtained.

LOL!!!!

I've got a new neighbor who works for ACORN living upstairs. I politely asked her to turn her cRap music down at 6am. She cursed me out and continued to play her little boom box.

I went down stairs and hooked my old school Marantz 120 Watt Stereo into my electric guitar amp & speaker stack.

Put "Afternoon Delight" by Starland vocal band on repeat and went grocery shopping for a couple of hours.

All her furniture is going back on the u-haul as I type. Buh bye biotch.

Try THIS

Their heads will burst - I guarantee it.

Definitely Old Country - Hank Williams, Sr, Faron Young, Porter Waggoner, Flatt and Scruggs, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, etc. Drives the homies insane.

About 10 years ago, Rolling Stones magazine ran a survey amongst older acid and touring rock band principals, asking them after the many years of changing pop and hard rock, what type of music did they routinely fall into listening while in private. Surprisingly, the vast majority chose C&W standards because the lyrics and rhythm were timeless.

[Cvengr]

Don’t repay evil with evil.

Try some standard classic albums which simply had great rhythm, melody, harmony, and syncopation.

Cruise the garage sales for the tunes. Sergio Mendez and Brasil 66 comes to mind.

LOL!!!!!!!!! I agree with you! What a voice!!! I remember when I was a teenager and my friend flipped the light switch off and put that song on to scare us. IT WORKED!!!!!!!

[Joan Kerrey]

White Christmas by some of the old tired artists like Bing, Nat King Cole. Country and western but make sure it’s by a black artist. Ella Fitzgerald bee bop clasics or Church music. Maybe a good Islamic call to prayer recording. who knows, they may actually listen.

[Cailleach]

I’m pretty sure that the Cyrkle version is the one on the radio.

Thanks for the suggestions. Nomi creeps me out. Of course I had heard his take on “You Don’t Own Me”, as Rush used his (and earlier the Blow Monkeys) version for his homosexual update theme. Very early on he used Leslie Gore’s (she turned out to be a deviant, as well) version for the feminist update. Nomi is scary. I wouldn’t let him within 100 feet of any boys.

I’ll see your Klaus Nomi and raise you one Yoko Ono “Kiss Kiss Kiss.” Nom,i at least is amusing (though unbearably creepy) and has range. Yoko had a famous husband, lots of money and pretentions of talent, a dangerous combination.

[Freedom2specul8]

Now that made my teary eyed..what a beautiful story.. :)

[Fiji Hill]

The theme song from “The Lone Ranger” is a classic (don’t know what the piece is called nor who composed it

That would be the galop from the William Tell overture, composed by Gioacchino A. Rossini in 1829.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Anything by the Carpenters or Ann Murray oughta get ‘em goin’!

Bad circumstances can always end in a beautiful story when Jesus is involved.

For pure obnoxiousness, try Achey Breaky Heart. No offense meant for C/W fans out there....

[wastedyears]

How about every hip-hop parody Weird Al has ever made?

After that, you could try some thrash metal.

[kimmie7]

See #150...was posted after someone else suggested Billy Ray’s most famous song.

[wastedyears]

Anything sung by David Hasselhoff. (Be sure and check out his remarkably dreadful videos on You Tube)

How about The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins by Leonard Nimoy?

[wastedyears]

Rush is absolutely not bad.

Though for the target audience, they probably are.
