Sometimes, someone is singing or playing a musical instrument or a 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 Nails on a Blackboard and he just wants it to end. The "madness" is usually figurative and temporary, but can occasionally be literal and permanent. Related to Big "SHUT UP!", which is often the outcome. Also related to Dreadful Musician. Can be related to It Won't Turn Off. Could be a case of The Thing That Would Not Leave if this happens inside a person's house or Annoyingly Repetitive Child if the one making the music is a child. Compare Brown Note, which is a related trope. (The difference? This trope is when the music is not harmful itself but irritates you to madness; Brown Note is when the music is inherently harmful.) Also compare Loud of War, which is this trope done maliciously. Also compare Hell Is That Noise. Not to be confused with Ear Worm, although it could be caused by one. Make it so only one character (or a few) can hear the music, and it becomes a form of Terrible Ticking. For when the character simply hates a song for reasons besides it being overplayed, see Character’s Most Hated Song. |

In Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, Vlad the Impaler's punishment before Gat and Kinzie show up to rescue him is to sit on the floor of a daycare (the signage labels it as "Tenth Circle Penitentiary") while the children's song "The Wheels on the Bus" plays repeatedly. If you go in there as Gat he will complain that they only used the "short" version of the song, to Vlad's horror. When you do the missions where you have to rescue your allies, Vlad will once again be singing "The Wheels on the Bus" until the player rescues him. He also complains of the song in one of his collectible audio logs. | |

In early seasons of The Simpsons, one of Homer's catch phrases was "Will you cut out that infernal racket?!" directed at Lisa rehearsing her sax. In "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish", where he thinks he's dying from having poisonous sushi, he goes to her room as she's playing. "Hi, Dad. Want me to cut out this infernal racket?" "Jazzy And The Puzzycats" has Bart take up the drums, which drives everyone in the house crazy. In the episode "Marge Vs. SSCCATAG", the first act revolves around Maggie being obsessed with a child singer named Roofi and Marge playing a CD with his songs at all hours of the day in a CD player with multiple backup power sources so the rest of the family can't sabotage it. Bart even begs Mrs. Krabappel at one point to give him detention so he won't have to listen to the song for a few more hours, but Krabappel refuses. In "Maximum Homerdrive", Marge and Lisa buy a doorbell that plays The Carpenters' "(They Long To Be) Close To You", hers and Homer's love song. Annoyed that nobody will ring the bell, Lisa decides to do that herself. However, it won't stop ringing, and when Marge tries to unplug it, it makes it play faster and louder, annoying their neighbors. Thankfully, Señor Ding Dong, the mascot to the doorbell shop, arrives and stops it himself. |

In Scrubs, JD imagines Colin Hay of the band Men at Work singing his song "Overkill" on the sidewalk, while playing a guitar. He starts to follow JD, still singing, showing up in increasingly improbable places, like an elevator and taking the place of a corpse at the morgue. At last Dr. Cox tries to talk to JD while this is going on, loses his temper, and smashes Colin's guitar. | |

Fred switches the radio to Elvis Presley's "Rubberneckin' that gets the whole elf crew dancing.

The first boss of Epic Mickey, the Clock Tower, is driven to madness by having to constantly listen to "It's A Small World". Fittingly enough, the boss theme is a warped and demented version of that very song. Interestingly, a rumor once circulated that a Disney employee committed suicide because "It's A Small World" continuously playing drove him nuts, this rumor may be the basis for the battle. | |

The Big Bang Theory: One night at three in the morning, Sheldon decides to play the bongos, waking Leonard and Penny up. He even turns some of their dialogue into rhythmic chants to go along with his drumming. In another occasion, Sheldon becomes obsessed with a tune that he can't remember the title of and plays it constantly trying to try and figure it out. When he plays it on the keyboard late at night, Penny has enough and takes the keyboard away. So Sheldon starts playing it on the tuba instead. |

A National Lampoon comic strip had a guy with a downstairs neighbor who had the worst taste in music, who left for a couple of weeks with his phonograph playing Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons" - the record started skipping, repeating "owe my soul to" over and over. Nobody could get in and shut it off, and eventually the guy ended up on the street, blank-eyed and chanting "Owe my soul to Tennessee Ernie...Owe my soul to Tennessee Ernie..." | |

The Bugs Bunny cartoon "Long-Haired Hare" begins with Bugs playing various instruments (a banjo, a harp and a tuba) and singing while opera singer Giovanni Jones is trying to rehearse, leading Jones to smash Bugs' instruments and beat him up. Bugs decides to get even with Jones by disrupting his performance later that day. | |

In the M*A*S*H episode "The Smell of Music", Winchester's French horn aggravates BJ and Hawkeye such that they refuse to bathe until he gives it up. In another episode, Colonel Potter drives everyone else crazy by insisting on repeated playings of "Sentimental Journey" over the camp speaker system. |

The Goof Troop episode "Dr. Horatio's Magic Orchestra" features Pete winning a set of sentient instruments at an auction. They constantly play "When the Saints Go Marching In." Pete is less upset by how incessant the song is, and more because that specific one reminds him of one time in a school band where he ruined a concert during the song. It causes him to give the instruments to Goofy and Max (which doesn't actually stop him from hearing it), threaten to seriously injure PJ when he (innocently) decides to whistle along, and finally tries to destroy the instruments or abandon them in the middle of nowhere. The other characters, however, help him get past his hatred of the song. | |

In the BBC comedy show, Not the Nine O'Clock News, 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... | |

Trolls: The Trolls love singing and do so at every opportunity, except for grumpy Branch. While he and Poppy are camping out for the night, she starts singing "Dream a Little Dream of Me", but he cuts her off. Then she goes into a very trippy rendition of "Sound of Silence". Apparently touched, Branch holds out his hand, and she hands over her guitar, which he promptly tosses into the campfire. | |

Malcolm in the Middle: In one episode, a musician relative of the Mankussers arrives to the Ranch and pesters Francis by constantly playing the piano to accompany his actions whenever Francis enters the room. Unlike other examples of this trope in this page, Francis actually tells him (and goes as far to learn German to make sure he understands) that this is beginning to annoy him and to please cut it out — the musician's response is to pick Francis' German/English dictionary and tell him in English "screw you". The subplot ends with Francis smashing the electronic piano in a rage. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: In the short, "My Brilliant Revenge" from the episode, "Fox Trot", Plucky is practicing his bagpipes for the Acme All-Bagpipe band outside Hamton's house. Hamton is trying to watch his favorite show, Swine Search, and can't hear it over Plucky's bagpipes. At first, he politely asks Plucky to stop, but Plucky ignores him and continues practicing. When Hamton misses the entire show, he destroys Plucky's bagpipes in a fit of rage. At the end of the cartoon, it is revealed that Hamton taped the show...and that he somehow missed Plucky's final musical attack: a tape recording of bagpipes cranked up (Plucky ends up setting it off himself). The short, "Ruffled Ruffee" from the episode, "Music Day" begins with Buster playing his electric guitar and inadvertently interrupting a children's concert hosted by the Raffi Expy Ruffee, who yells at him to be quiet and tosses his electric guitar and speakers into his burrow in response. |

Kirby and the Forgotten Land: The Big Bad is tormented by the sound of the "Dream Discoveries Tour", a cheery remix of the game's main theme, since they've had to listen to it for ages upon ages while trapped inside the Eternal Capsule. It has taken such a toll on this character's psyche that when Kirby and friends confront their disembodied Soul within Forgo Dreams, a pocket dimension that comprises their subconscious, the same music is still playing, only disturbingly distorted and jumbled up.

Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Cheese Shop sketch. When John Cleese's character enters, he speaks in such Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness that the proprietor thinks that he's complaining about the bouzouki player. The customer assures him that he "delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse." After making dozens of requests for cheese, with the proprietor stating that he's just run out of each variety, the frustrated customer finally screams, "Will you shut that bloody dancing up?!?" Also happens in the Spam sketch; as the chorus of Vikings begins singing "Spam, spam, spam, spam..." it takes a few seconds before the proprietress of the café bellows at them to shut up. By the end of the sketch, they simply ignore her and keep singing. |

Even Stevens: In one scene in the episode Secrets and Spies, Louis is trying to figure out what Ren is up to, but Twitty is more interested in coming up with song names, so he repeatedly sings whatever Louis says back to him while playing his guitar. After getting fed up with this, Louis tries to get him to sing Louis is cool, only for Twitty to instead sing Louis is a big nerd, he is the biggest nerd, at which point Louis tackles him to the ground. | |

The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe 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. | |

Mimi's Tales of Terror: In "The Woman Next Door", Mimi gets very annoyed by the loud music coming from the apartment directly over hers, and is puzzled that the other people on that floor don't seem to be able to hear it as much as she can. It eventually becomes a non-issue as the man in that apartment becomes frightened by the mysterious woman in the apartment beside his and hurriedly moves away. | |

In Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, some of the kids have run off. The other kids are showing Max which direction they went, and are chanting a lament in the background. Eventually, Max yells, "Stop the noise, STOP THE NOISE!" | |

In one episode of Emergency!, Johnny Gage's hobby-of-the-week is learning to play a musical instrument. After a disastrous experiment with bagpipes, he tries a trombone instead, and soon irritates his colleagues so thoroughly that Chet breaks his trombone. In the episode tag, Gage walks into the station kitchen/living area with a guitar and announces, "Hi folks, I'm Johnny Gage." | |

Histeria! had a Civil War skit accompanied by violin music - eventually the soldier started complaining about the music and wound up eating his own head so he wouldn't have to hear it (Played for Laughs). | |

During ProtonJon's Let's Play of Super Kaizo World, he hears the "Time's Running Out" alarm so many times after reloading save states at the very beginning of the level that he eventually pleads for it to stop. He later adds, "I'm not sleeping tonight, guys. This is my nightmare sound." | |

Gravity Falls has one episode that plays the rap song "Straight Blanchin'" by a rapper named Little Big Dawg, which drives Wendy crazy. At one point, while driving with Soos, Wendy gets so tired of the song that she ejects the CD out of the radio and promptly tosses it out of the window. By the end of the episode, Wendy states that going on the adventure got the song out of her head, only for Soos to play a spare CD in the car, much to Wendy's annoyance. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "The Survivors", the only apparent survivors of a massacre on Rana IV are an old man and his wife. Little does the Enterprise crew know that the old man is actually a nigh-omnipotent being with a terrible secret. He implants the melody of his wife's music box into Counselor Troi's mind in order to distract her from delving further into his emotions. In the 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 Animal House). |
