'If I hear Wagon Wheel one more time I'm going to break that stereo'

gramar

The man in question was obviously pissed and went a bit too far but you have to sympathise at the same time having to put up listening to an ear-bleeding inducing song over and over.

I remember living in a flat one summer and having to listen to Travis's The Man Who played pretty much on repeat for 3 months.

What crap have you had to put up with from neighbours and have you ever confronted them about it?

I like that song.

And also I have a craving for some wagon wheels. Nommy chocolate.

The Backwards Man

One of Bob Dylan's better efforts in my opinion

Every summer out at home (dads) there's a neighbour who fires up a diy bbq (campfire and loads of petrol) gets all his crusty friends out and they have a rave. But it's literally the worst music ever. They even played dj rankin at it!

Bob Dylan or Old Crow Medicine Shows versions are very good, unfortunately this guy has completely ruined it

A group of people who lived up the road from us in 2008 would spend entire summer days lying in the garden listening to Leona Lewis "Bleeding Love" on loop.

My dad was planning to post CDs in their letterbox so they'd at least have more songs to play...

Jesus this thread reminds me of these lads who used to live under my mate in some hovel in Ranelagh a few years ago...

I used to love Kings Of Leon, as their third more "poppy" album came out, more people got into them and cue these lads who lived under my mate, started basically repeating the first 3 album tracks over and over again while they were all mangled/asleep after sessions throughout the night...

I tried everything, playing the first 2 better albums louder than them etc, nothing would work, then I made a new mix CD one week and one weekend as a peace offering I gave them a copy...

Little did I know they would ruin my love of KoL and my own DJ mix all in one long bank holiday weekend....

We used to actually bump into them at same gigs also and say a brief hello but always grumbled something about KOL as we walked away...

I've despised the Kings Of Leon ever since!

Woman in the apartment next to me used to have Adele's Someone Like You on when she was cleaning, with the windows on to let fresh air in, and she'd be pottering about singing along.

Andre 3000

It's been done to death worse than Galway girl. Horrific song.

jester77

I had a mad woman living 2 floors above me, emotionally unstable would be a kind way to describe her. She would get into arguments with her partner in the middle of the night around 2 or 3 am, he would walk out, she would blare out Enya full blast, he would come back later and would hold down the door bell, she wouldn't answer, he would start ringing ever doorbell in the apartment complex. Would hate to have been living directly above or below her, was glad to get out of there.

Atlantic Dawn

There should be a crowd funding campaign setup to pay his fine, I'd gladly throw €10 in.

Vance Joy - Riptide, it on a bank ad and a couple of other ads. It just drives me nuts. I mute the telly or radio when I hear it come on. It reminds of The Thrills, dreary depressing drivel.

I loved the Old Crow Medicine Show version when I heard it many moons ago and I was quite surprised to start hearing people say how much they loved Wagon Wheel years later. Thinking they were referring to the OCMS version I said how much I liked it as well. Then I heard the Nathan Carter version. Jeesus, it's beyond woeful.

GLaDOS

Thankfully, for the sake of my neighbours, I play a wide range of heavy metal.

Re. the story in the OP, the wrong person was arrested.

Hande hoche!

Jeff Buckley's hallelujah seems mandatory among buskers these days.

Neighbour of mine used to play "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "My Heart Will Go On" on repeat during the day with the windows open. This was back at the time when they were first released.

One of the neighbours on the other side sent their youngfella in to take the CD one day, while they called to the front door, he got it too. They sent a ransom note back, it was all taken in jest, but the continuous play and loud volume it was played at, died off.

IvyTheTerrible

My mother nearly had a breakdown when I was a new baby, we lived in a semi-d beside a house full of nurses, who would come home at all hours and put one Carly Simon and one James Taylor record on repeat for hours at a time. 36 years later and she'd nearly throw the radio out the window if she heard You're so vain on it.

:eek:

I don't know how people listen to any song over and over anyway. No matter how much I like a song, I'm not going to want to ruin it for myself by playing it on repeat.

I worked in Dunnes Stores around the time Maniac 2000 was in the charts. In the shop they had a tape with some songs on it for the clientèle to listen to, but over the years they had recorded the weekly promotions over the songs. They kept using the same tape and kept recording over the old promotions, so to make it sound "OK", every new promotion had to be slightly longer than the last. The result was that by the time I worked there, there was approximately 20 seconds of Culture Club' "Do you really want to hurt me", then a gap of silence for a few seconds, then about 40 seconds of Albatross by Fleetwood Mac, the a gap then a promotion then another gap then about 40 seconds of "Red Red wine by UB40". And the it would loop back to the start.

In their entirety, those are three decent songs but in an 8 hour shift I would hear that same segment of "Do you really want to hurt me?" approximately 50 times(5 to 6 times an hour).

It really was a form of torture.

Big fan of Nathan Carter here and I never tire of Wagon Wheel but Christ, I wouldn't play it over and over. He has a nice a new album out which I still didn't get but I'm looking forward to it whenever I get my ass in gear and my funds in order to buy it.

Love these new songs:

Regarding the OP, once worked in a place that had a Johnny Cash album on repeat all day. It was awful. Tried switching over to the radio a few times but it was switched back to CD.

Get out of here.

My neighbours listen to great music....whether they want to or not!

I've never heard this Wagon Wheel song. I also never heard an Ed Sheeran song although I know exactly what he looks like. Where do people hear these songs? I don't listen to the radio much, only Newstalk. I'm also old.

valoren

I worked 12 hour Saturday shift in a General Operative warehouse during college in 1998.

It was around the time "Sweetest Thing" by U2 was released for their compilation album.
It was being played every hour on the radio station.
To this day almost 20 years later, the opening bars induce a rage within me.

You must be living under a rock if you have never heard Wagon Wheel. It's bloody everywhere and played/sung by everyone from school kids to auld bats.

I've never heard it either I don't listen to radio either or live under a rock.

Feeling quite smug, judging by the reactions here :pac:

When was it out? I was abroad for years until about 1.5 years ago. I also don't really go to discos or pop concerts.

biko

If you play any song loud and on repeat you deserve what's coming.

Your "great choone" is quite likely someone else's "piece of crap".

Absolutely class song but the original by Old Crow Medicine Show is light years ahead of the Nathan Carter version. I like Nathan in general and have gone to see him live (and will go again) but prefer the proper version of Wagon wheel.

maudgonner

I worked a night shift in a factory the summer Hansen released Mmm Bop. Every time I see BoomBap's username I get flashbacks. It was never off the radio.

Eternal - I Wanna Be the Only One was out the same year. Brings me right back to working on that assembly line with an oversized white coat and hairnet on, having the craic 'cause there were no supervisors on the night shift and only about 8 of us in the building. Good times.

It's a class song, but Nathan Carter singing about hitchhiking the eastern seaboard of the US is like Twink singing about footing turf.

No music but barking dogs, its amazing how inconsiderate neighbours can be.

I'll take your word for it I assumed Nathan Carter was some boy-band chap who broke free of his co-crooners, but...Irish country music? Ah, no thanks. :P

In our Dunnes there was no clock visible in our section. We kept time by the instore music. When you heard red wine you knew it would be exactly one hour till you heard it again.

Worked in a place which had 8 track player( yes, it was that long ago) and only one 8 track cassette. Perry Como's greatest hits. Over. and . Over.

"What did Delaware boys?
What did Delaware"

and other classics.

The Backwards Man

I spent a couple of weeks walling spuds once with no company but a CD of Glen Campbell whose only playable track was Wichita Lineman.

I love that song so it didn't bother me too much, but I never listened to it for a long time afterwards.

More or less, you have to store them somewhere cool, dry and dark to stop them budding.

About 20 years ago I was in beaumont hospital for an operation and was bed bound for 10 days after an operation the day after the operation Boyzone came and was seeing all the patients. If that was not bad enough they left a video of there then current song (love me for a reason) and I dont think from waking up to going to sleep was the song ever off.

I like wagon wheel but ya Narhan Carter is not good. Some people thing it is his song an original. I think even he is getting sick of it

Fratton Fred

When I was a kid, that sing was massive, it's nowhere near as big as it used to be.

gerrybbadd

I really fúckin hate that Wagon Wheel song.

This year though, it seems that the newest song to play 400 times per day is Shut Up and Dance.

Drives me insane. Was at a wedding there a few weeks back, and the band played it twice. Then one of the band members was pulling DJ duty after the live music finished. Sure, of course he had to play it a further 3 times.

Yep, anyone whos done a stint in retail, however short, knows this pain. I worked in a Supervalu around the same time and didn't know who Carly Simon was. After hearing You're so Vain eleventy thousand times, I wanted to strangle the bitch.

How great it must be for Aldi and Lidl staff not to have to endure this.

Must admit, I would love a good rattling from Nathan Carter.

Shut up and dance is a brilliant song. Love it. Never fails to get me up and moving. Nathan has added Shut Up and Dance to his gig setlist.

You need to set up your own Nathan Carter appreciation/wankfest thread. Somewhere far...far away.

Years ago I worked in an office where the hair-trigger tempered PA would play Céline Dion's Falling Into You album on repeat through her phone on speaker. Sweet heart of Jesus.
