Loud of War: Difference between revisions

* Disney Comics are full of this, in the form of the [[Escalating War|ever continuing hostilities]] between [[Donald Duck]] and [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|his neighbor, Neighbor J. Jones]]. Their warfare encompasses the entire range of musical instruments and practically anything that can be used to make loud noises.

* ''Lady Tudor Glitz'': Frothgar once wrote the following letter:

* [[Deadpool]] once jumped to the conclusion that [[Cable]] was going to transmit an endless loop of the Backstreet Boys. Upon learning this, Cable was actually tempted to [[Moral Event Horizon|do so]].

** Deadpool himself used this method when he blasted country music throughout the Black Swan's mansion.

== Music ==

* The [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] song "Achy Breaky Song" is about how the singer would rather listen to ''anything'' other than "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus.

I'd rather have a pitchfork in my brain. }}

* NegativLand's "Escape from Noise" included a sampled excerpt: "It's important to remember that sound has been used for centuries as a method of torture. Put someone's head inside of a bell and ring it. Eventually, they'll go insane."

* The video for [[X Japan]] 's "Celebration." Originally inspired by an idea of retelling Cinderella.

* The Flanders&Swann song "Ill Wind" is pretty much a report of one of these in progress. The first verse goes - and the issue only escalates from there -

in spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.}}

* The video for Jason Forrest's "War Photographer" is about two viking ships battling by duelling each other with electric guitar solos. The guitars shoot lasers. And that's still in the ''sensible'' parts of the video...

* There was a ''[[Life in Hell]]'' strip about this. I think the title was 'My War With The Ghost Of Mary Pickford', for some bizarre reason.

** It was because the guy he was battling lived in an apartment that had been Mary Pickford's.

* In ''[[Dilbert]]'', Wally created a screensaver called "Wally's 101 Most Annoying Cubicle Sounds" just to drive Alice up the wall.

* In a ''[[Halo]]'' flash animation ''There's Something About Halo'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4he5CUyNGwM#t=6m47s two soldiers are waiting for battle while the Spice Girls play in the background.] The newbie questions why they're listening to it, and gets admonished by the sarge.

'''Marine:''' "Sarge...it's the [[Spice Girls]]...We use them for [[Take That|psychological warfare]]." }}

** This is a [[Shout-Out]] to a scene from the first game of the series (Combat Evolved) in which ''the'' Sarge ([[Sergeant Rock|Avery J. Johnson]]) is blasting old music. One of the marines questions why they're listening it, and gets essentially the same response from Avery.

* The David Koresh incident (see Real Life) was spoofed on ''[[South Park]]'' in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub", when the ATF try to force people out of the house where a "comet party" is being held (believing them to be suicide cultists) by playing an obnoxious pop song that's a thinly disguised parody of "Believe" by Cher. It went unnoticed because the same song was playing on the stereo. They specifically refer to the Waco fiasco.

** [[Barbra Streisand]] sang until Cartman told her the location of the Triangle of Zinthar.

** He again revealed information when a CIA agent scratched a balloon.

* Appears on ''[[The Simpsons]]'', when Skinner, Krabappel, and Bart have sealed themselves inside the school. Chief Wiggum tries playing romantic music and turning on a spotlight which gets reflected through a colander as mood lighting to try and get them to snap and leave. Skinner and Krabappel, who have fallen in love, merely begin enjoying a romantic dance; this causes Bart to snap and scream "Turn it off!", which only convinces a smug Wiggum that it's working and to turn it up louder.

* ''[[The Smurfs]]'' episode "Romeo And Smurfette" had a dueling [[Loud of War]] between two groups of serenading Smurfs led by Hefty and Handy who are trying to out-woo each other for Smurfette's affections, ultimately resulting in a brawl that Papa Smurf had to stop.

* In one episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' Peter gets obsessed with the song "Surfin' Bird" and plays/sings it nonstop, intentionally trying to annoy people with it. '''Possible move to [[Loud of War]]'''

'''Stewie:''' Brian [[Big No|DON'T]]! }}

** In a later episode Peter has gotten amnesia, and then discovers this great new song: Surfin' Bird...

** And in a ''different'' later episode, Peter gets amnesia and turns on his house stereo.

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Lucius fondly remembering his time in a marching band...because he played so badly it hurt everyone in Miseryville.

* Similar to the [[Megas XLR]] example, one episode of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' has the villian, Ember Mclain, being defeated when Tucker sings her signature song at her concert. His singing is so bad, it competely breaks the spell Ember's own singing put on the audience.
