* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Unwanted_Song The Most Unwanted Song]] combines elements that were revealed in a survey to be the least desirable elements in a song. Answers included extremely high or low voices, child singers, lyrics about cowboys, lyrics about holidays and commercial jingle lyrics; the song therefore includes a soprano rapping about cowboys and children singing holiday-themed jingles advertising Wal-Mart. Extreme length was another turnoff, so it ended up being 22 minutes long.

* There was a story in the news about a boy who was abducted and sang a song on repeat for 3 hours until the kidnapper gave up and threw him out of the car.

* Brave Sir Robin's Minstrels in ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. (Though that probably has more to do with the lyrics than the quality of their singing).

* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': the director is arguing with Roger after he blows his lines when he finally shouts, "[[SorryILeftTheBGMON Can we lose the playback please!?]]"

* In the Creator/MarxBrothers film ''Film/AnimalCrackers'', Chico plays the song "Sugar Time" on his piano, but gets stuck and keeps playing the same section over and over.

* A tourist visiting deepest Africa becomes ever more maddened by the incessant sound of native drums, about which the natives will only ever say, "Very bad when drumming stops!" About to completely lose it, he finally forces one of them to tell him what happens when the drumming stops. The native replies: "Bass solo."

* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Qpid", Q turned the bridge crew into Robin Hood and his merry men. Geordie became the Alan a-Dale analog, and kept plucking annoyingly at a lute. Finally Worf had had enough, walked up, snatched the lute and smashed it against a tree (in an homage to the ''Film/AnimalHouse'' example above).

* Norton often did this in ''TheHoneymooners'', prompting Ralph to finally yell at him to stop.

* "The Song That Never Ends" from ''LambChopsPlayAlong'' drives Shari Lewis mad.
* In the BBC comedy show, ''NotTheNineOClockNews'', Gryff-Rhys Jones played a colonial planter, driven to drink by the noise of the jungle, who staggers drunkenly onto the verandah and demands, "Will you shut up! Will this damn noise never end!" The camera pans back, revealing that what we have taken to be the chittering of night insect noise is really 30 or 40 natives, each of whom is playing with a Rubik's Cube...

* In ''{{Weeds}}'', Nancy sang "Polly Wolly Doodle" ad nauseam while banging on a pot (no pun intended - probably) when Silas refused to leave his room after breaking up with his girlfriend.

* In DoctorSteel's music video for his song, "Back and Forth", there's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCKkcex6_Hg a little kid at the beginning playing an annoying plastic trumpet]], while his brother covers his ears. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCKkcex6_Hg#t=3m20s At the end of the video]] the brother suddenly gets in his face and shouts, "[[BigShutUp STOP!]]"

* The music video for Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love." The guy is so desperate to stop the girl's efforts to seduce him that at one point he runs over to the stereo - [[SorryILeftTheBGMON which is actually playing the song]] - and tries to turn it off, but [[ItWontTurnOff even pulling the plug doesn't work]]. By the end of the scene he's reduced to a sobbing, quivering wreck.

* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Qpid", Q turned the bridge crew into Robin Hood and his merry men. Geordie became the Alan a-Dale analog, and kept plucking annoyingly at a lute.

* ''Film/TheTallBlondManWithOneBlackShoe'' is a concert violinist marked as a spy. After a female spy seduces him, he confesses to her that he's not just a violinist. She leans in with interest (as do the other spies listening in on a monitor) and he admits he also composes. He excitedly gets up to play a bit of his opera for her - it may be of some interest to academic musicians, but to these folks (and us) it's loud, screechy, toneless noise. The spies listening in shut off the sound; she has to shout for him to stop.

* In season 7 of ''CurbYourEnthusiasm'', Sammy sings in the shower as Larry's trying to sleep, prompting an extremely agitated outburst. 'SHUT THE FUCK UP!'
** Cheri Oteri's appearance on ''CurbYourEnthusiasm'' was as a mentally unstable nanny who was driven mad by constantly hearing the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' theme while working at an amusement park. She sings it constantly and it drives her into a murderous rage.

* In an episode of ''{{Undeclared}}'', a girl played "How Bizarre" by OMC on a portable stereo non-stop for several hours.

* Yodeling, for many. (Also [[LoudOfWar weaponized]] in ''MarsAttacks'', but for the Martians it was more of a BrownNote.)

* ''Film/AnimalHouse''. During [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvR6d08L3nc a scene]] at the toga party, [[TheCameo Stephen Bishop]] is playing a guitar and singing when Bluto happens by. After listening to the singing for a while, Bluto takes the guitar away from the guy, smashes it to pieces against a wall and then [[HypocriticalHumor utters a halfhearted sorry]].

* In FredClaus, the elf DJ won't stop taking requests to play "Here Comes Santa Claus", so Fred shoves him into a cabinet so he can play something else.

The spies listening in shut off the sound; she has to shout for him to stop.

* ''SpongeBobSquarePants'', episode "Jellyfish Jam". [=SpongeBob=] and a jellyfish keep Squidward up all night playing loud music. When more jellyfish show up and play the music even louder, Squidward has had enough and counterattacks by playing his clarinet. This angers the jellyfish, and when [=SpongeBob's=] pleas to stop result in Squidward playing even louder, the jellyfish goes over to Squidward's and stings him.

* In ''{{Weeds}}'', Nancy sang "Polly Wolly Doodle" ad naseum while banging on a pot (no pun intended - probably) when Silas refused to leave his room after breaking up with his girlfriend.

Sometimes, someone is singing or playing a musical instrument or a [[JungleDrums drum]] -- not to be malicious or anything -- and he just WILL. NOT. SHUT. UP, until it finally makes another character yell for him to stop or just start screaming insanely, or lash out in some way. It doesn't necessarily have to be ''bad'' music (though it often is), it's just that it's incessant (or sometimes just in a style the hearer just can't stand to hear) and goes beyond the hearer's point of enduring, and to him it becomes like NailsOnABlackboard and he just wants it to end. The "madness" is usually figurative and temporary, but can occasionally be literal and permanent.

It gets to the point where he snaps and trashes their motorcycle trying to get the tape out of the stereo.
