History Main / IgnoringBySinging

* Duck Guy in ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' notes that The Healthy Band's [[InUniverseFactoidFailure extremely faulty explanation on how the digestive system works makes no sense. They ignore him and continue to sing their health song with greater volume.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3729806/3/Raising-Harry-Bonus-Features Raising Harry: Bonus Features]]'' Harry tells a kissing Remus and Sirius to GetARoom, adding that all he wants is to go to bed. When Remus states that that's what they're doing as well, Harry covers his ears and loudly sings "[[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel The Sounds of Silence]]".

* ''Literature/ItsNotTheEndOfTheWorld'': Variant in that it's not ''singing'', but another kind of noise -- Karen tries to block out one of her parents' arguments by covering her ears and screaming as loud as she can. Her father is finally forced to give her an ArmorPiercingSlap to end the outburst.

* In ''Machinima/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged'', Tifa was telling Cloud very bluntly and explicitly how she was going to get top secret information out of Don Corneo. Aerith immediately walks away, covering her ears and singing, "LALALALALA! MOOGLES MOOGLES MOOGLES MOOGLLLESSSS!!"

* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', [[spoiler:Magnus]] does that when the Emperor starts to talk about his... [[OutWithABang troublesome]] sex life. Kitten, on the other hand, puts a bucket on his helmet. It doesn't help much either of them.

* This happens twice in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': Thanatos does it during one of Palutena’s quotes, causing Pit to wonder aloud whether Thanatos is ObfuscatingStupidity or just dim, and Viridi does it when Pit comments on how the Komaytos look like ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}s'' (because, according to Viridi, [[MediumAwareness the two video game universes have nothing to do with each other)]].

-->'''Aya''': Training's over, and I won't listen. I WON'T LISTEN! LA LA LA LA LA LAAA!!

* Duck Guy in ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' notes that The Healthy Band's [[CriticalResearchFailure extremely faulty]] explanation on how the digestive system works makes no sense. They ignore him and continue to sing their health song with greater volume.

* In one of the ''Literature/EndersShadow'' books, Peter tells Petra that she's arguing like a nine-year-old, and that she might as well put her fingers in her ears and say "La la la, I can't hear you." Of course, she promptly does.
* In ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKidTheLastStraw'', when Greg and Rowley are being driven to a roller skating rink to impress Holly Hills and Susan overhears the conversation:

* In ''Literature/JunieBJones and That Meanie Jim's Birthday'', when the kids all show their invitations to Jim's birthday party to Junie B., she closes her eyes and sings a loud song at them.

* "The Vancome Lady" from MadTV was known for this among other catch phrases. "Chyaa, ya'know what? Uh-Uh" "La-La.Lalala"

* This happens twice in ''Videogame/KidIcarusUprising'': Thanatos does it during one of Palutena’s quotes, causing Pit to wonder aloud whether Thanatos is ObfuscatingStupidity or just dim, and Viridi does it when Pit comments on how the Komaytos look like ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}s'' (because, according to Viridi, [[MediumAwareness the two video game universes have nothing to do with each other)]].

* ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'': Merrin Meredith does this to drown out the irritating wail of a Swamp Wraith.

* Invoked/Exploited/Enforced (whatever) in ''Series/{{Bones}}'' where Booth has to talk to Brennan and Sweets about something grisly in front of his young son, so he has his son cover his ears and sing a song while the adults talk.

-->'''Susan:''' Holly Hills? Holly Hills was the only fourth grader at school [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext who wasn't potty trained]].\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'': "Heroes of Truth and Justice" features a section involving Rosa Parks when she's told to move to the back of the bus...where basically everyone from the Kid Chorus is in general being rowdy, especially [[NoIndoorVoice Loud Kiddington]] who's singing "99 Bottle of Root Beer on the Wall" at the top of his lungs. Charity Bazaar apparently doesn't like that song at all; she initially tells him to be quiet, but causes him to forget where he was (55 bottles), forcing him to start over. Loud later hits 27 bottles in his song while Charity induces this trope.
-->'''Charity Bazaar:''' La-la-la-la-la; I'm not listening!

* ''Literature/KeeperOfTheLostCities'': In ''Neverseen'', when Sophie shares the news that [[WingedUnicorn Silveny]] is pregnant, [[TooMuchInformation Keefe keeps begging for everyone to stop talking about alicorn mating and birthing]], eventually covering his ears and leaving the room, singing, "LALALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
