Musical Emergency

[Eraser Nubbin]

The guy in the office across from me is listening to ABBA, it was drowning out the music that I was listening to. It's a regular musical grease fire, I need an opposite agent to neutralize the dancing queen.
Help...
Please...

[chalsema]

Rammstein or Metallica?

[Mynock]

Du Hast!

[Neballer]

I'd say you fight fire with fire. Rember that song, "How Bizarre" by OMC (http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/omc_1/artist.jhtml) Just put it on repeat and aim your stereo at him. You'll probably make his head implode, but at least you won't have to listen to ABBA anymore.

slipknot! mudvayne! or Sunk Loto

[Vikia]

OMG! ABBA Yikes!

Definitely need the metal to drown that out.
Although I would prefer some grind it out blues...maybe some Joe Bonamassa or Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[G-Man79]

SRV! Great call Vik. If you want to maintain the balance of the force you must counter with something from the same era but opposite genre. I would suggest "Blitz Krieg Bop" by The Ramones or "When The Levee Breaks" by Led Zep. That ought to do the trick.

I agree with neballer, put on the macarena on repeat or that how bizzare song. Yes you'll have to endure the crap also but it will be a battle of endurance until one you explodes but then again maybe he'd enjoy it. Screw it put on NWA.

[Ulysses]

If it was me, I'd ask to borrow it. They'd then feel great about lending it to you, whilst you can feel great about quietly slipping it into your drawer from your ears' harm.

[Eraser Nubbin]

I dunno Neballer and Keith, I think adding any more bad music to the mix would have some bad effects, kind of like if the Ghostbusters crossed beams.
Thanks muchly for the advice folks, clearly some of you have put up with similar situations. To top it off another middle aged guy came up to his office while he was listening to it and they got into a discussion that went something like this:

Guy No. 1 "This is some good music that you are listening to Guy No. 2, makes me want to dance."
Guy No. "Ya man! I love this stuff, everyone out here in Canada all listens to the same boring music."
Guy No. 1 " I agree, why doesn't anyone listen to good booty shaking music like this anymore?"
Guy No. 2 "I dunno, all the kids listen to these days is music that makes you angry!"


I almost had to interject and mention that people don't listen to that music anymore because IT MAKES YOUR EARS BLEED and the reason we all listen to mad music is because we were raised by people who played ABBA disco crap during our formative years.

[D-Zine]

You could play the song "Picture Book" by the Kinks thats in that HP commercial.

It'll get stuck in his head bc its catchy and he'll wanna kill you - you'll love it!!

[Mynock]

You should play "They're going to take me away"

[rickself]

I don't know...a little Frank Zappa "Don't eat the yellow snow" or "Apostrophe" generally gets heads turnin when I crank 'em up! Haven't fighgered out why my stereo is turned off when I get back from break, tho.:rolleyes:

[Eraser Nubbin]

Hahaha I think Frank Zappa is the answer, "Don't kid yourself girl..."

[Neballer]

I can picture it now.....Guy number two with a drink in one hand with a finger pointing to the ceiling, and with the other hand a finger pointed to the floor dancing around like a drunk jacka$$ (picture George Mcfly dancing by himself at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance). LOL, man some people are hilarious.

[Ulysses]

What is wrong with ABBA anyways? I'd boogie my ass to ABBA.

[Eraser Nubbin]

Haha you aren't British are you Ulysses? Guy No. 2 just happens to be from England.
Neballer - you paint a lovely picture

[Ulysses]

Imagine if you can (wthout tears of laughter) Guy Number 2 - let us call him Ulysses - dancing like Michael Jackson, to everything.

[Neballer]

Excessive crotch grabbing and walking backwards - nope can't imagine it without rolling on the floor and crying. :D
