Post a YouTube song that will send folks scurrying for cover, or at least an aspirin.

It's hard to believe, but some people actually don't like this song :bluesad:

Bunch of hoity-toity music snobs, that's what they are.
This would work for most of my friends... as in driving them out of the room. But a handful like me would be drawn into the room and the sound source.

Having to leave a room because of this song is sacrilege!

Anything from Napalm Death's SCUM album will not only clear your house of guests who've overstayed their welcome, but household pests as well. If you play it loud enough, you'll probably clear out a few of your neighbors' houses as well. :teddyr:
...as an added bonus, the songs are so short that by the time the police arrive, the album will be finished and you can play innocent. "Who, me?"

Scum is soooo classic it's not even funny. My fave song is Sacrificed. However, as far as grind goes I think Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Honky Reduction gives Scum a run for it's money.
If you really wanna clear a room quick, just crank up some Masonna.

I will never forget the day my brother (who's the big grind/death metal/extreme guy in the family) first brought home
Scum on LP. I had never heard
anything like that before in my life. He put that thing on the stereo and I swear to God I thought something had gone horribly wrong with our turntable, I'm like "Dude! The needle must've snapped, or the speaker's blown, or..." haha. Then I realized he was headbanging to it and I said, "Wait, it's
supposed to sound like that?" :teddyr:
I like napalm death/extreme metal in short doses, but a whole album worth would probably make me head for the door after 15 minutes, lol
these gals have probably cleared many a dance floor in their time:

One of my all-purpose commands to my dogs was: "M'nah!" Or, "M'nah! M'nah! M'nah!" Of course, my beloved Beauty has passed away and the old gal here is DEAF.
So, I kind of like that drivel. :wink: :thumbup:
Well, to be honest, I kinda like it too. ( and I know Doggett is a huge fan :smile:)
this stuff though, is truly dismal. And it's mega popular. This would clear my room:

Where's that organ coming from...? Oh they're playing
live... you believe me don't you? :question: I can't think of a worst instance of lip-synching. :lookingup:
Really? That may not have been sung live but I didn't notice a single instance of the lip synching going "out" of synch there AHD. Definitely seen worse! Sometimes it's hard to tell because YouTube will occasionally mess up audio tracks so that even live performances look a bit 'off', time wise...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eofcyn-bsBA
Blasting stuff from these guys drove people away back in my teenage days. Clearly though, they had no taste.
Generally, any of my old Tiny Tim cd's work. Weird Al as well.
Not a big fan of Chocolate Synthesizer but this song is great and ought to have the desired effect:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-9bXc-WM4Q
Heck, pretty much all of that album would work.

Darn it, after revisiting these tracks I've kind of changed my mind, I should've kept this album.

Okay, when I say "lip synching" I don't mean just singing. Their hit record is playing. Watch the drummer.
Oh just miming in general, fair enough.Seen a few classic lip synching bloopers like when the singer falls off the stage and the vocals keep going, and one on I think top of the pops where the CD started skipping :smile:
The original does it for me, so I'm SURE this would work....

I would hope anything by Nickelback would send people running for the nearest toilet to throw up in. But only if the people in the room have good taste, which most people don't or Nickelback wouldn't exist in the first place.

Yep, that's the one. I screwed up the youtube code. I've noticed many people who don't like Tom Waits on a first listen can be won over with repeated exposure. My brother used to get angry when I played him, now his collection's almost as big as mine.
Hmmm... let's try a different tac:
Probably the best song written in the last 10 years. Is it so intimate or saddening that we each need to be alone?

This seems to get the same reaction as Pac-Man Fever:

Guaranteed to get people leave running once those vocals kick in. I remember leaving my ipod on random one night when I went to sleep. I woke up to the screaming and thought it was coming from my room, I just about died of fright before realizing what it was.
Anything by The Shaggs does it.
Just discovered this guy's work so I'll post some Tonetta. I think he's got some genuinely good songs, but they're lo-fi and most of them feature the most vile, sexual lyrics imaginable. Your average person is gonna be put off by this guy. Most of his stuff isn't safe for this forum, and his videos are mainly of him in drag or other skimpy and strange outfits. Here's a few safe ones:
