I have two CDs full of WW2 German army marches...whenever some hoodrat with a thumping base drive near, I crank up some Whermacht songs...
They dont know what it is....but I like it

Just don’t give them the Scythian Suite, they might like it.

If they played Canzonetta sull’aria, the undesirables would just stand around mesmerized.

I had a critter get into my attic and then into a wall. I was about to call a exterminator, and Mrs OrioleFan suggested placing the boombox next to the wall and cranking it up on one of those rap (crap?) stations while we went shopping. We haven’t had any critters since.

Hymns would probably work even better.

"ROWDY groups of teens are turning their Bachs on a popular Birmingham city centre meeting spot after police starting playing classical music for Christmas shoppers."
Just so long as they don't start playing the glorious 9th from lovely lovely Ludwig Van. The results could be real horrorshow!

I use Wagners "flight of the valkyries" in My volkswagen for such situations. It's pretty effective.

When the system was temporarily switched off the young people returned. Hillarious - the first thing that comes to mind is "vermin". When you have the repellent in place, the vermin avoid the area, and when you remove the repellent temporarily, the vermin return.

You may attract even less desirable critters.

May only serve to attract opera gangs.

Good classical music (no atonal, modernist crap please) is a good indicator of intelligence. That does not mean you’re stupid if you don’t like classical music, but a number of researchers have linked liking or love of classical music with higher intelligence. Which still does not make a lover of classical with high intelligence a person who is immune from doing stupid things.

Obama will have to move his Occupy buddies (or Obama’s Wealth Spreaders as I call them) into my neighborhood.

This tactic works at the house too. When I want a quiet evening at home, I turn the TV off in the den and start playing my classical music. My teenage sons begin drifting to other parts of the house and I can open a good book and a bottle of wine. Classical music goes good with reading, especially the earlier Baroque stuff by Bach, Handel and Telemann.
If you want a quick and dirty approach to driving teenagers off, put on some opera and they will run from the area with their hands over their ears.
