AIBU to play 'it's a small world' on repeat to annoy my children as much as they are annoying me?

So, my kids are being paid to clean our large conservatory, but they keep arguing and expecting me to sort out their issues. I am fed up with the pair of them, so thought I would give them a taste of their annoying medicine by playing 'its a small world on repeat in the conservatory. AIBU? Grin

Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 14:24

Ooooo that's extreme torture OP

Are you sure it needs to be that heavy handed? Grin

ChasedByBees · 13/11/2016 14:25

That's a cruel and unusual punishment!

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 14:28

Haha... Grin well, I may occasionally intersperse with "whistle while you work" to soften the blow. Any other suggested annoying songs?

So far it seems to be working... they are now united in their mutual torture! Grin

What about the llama song

TroysMammy · 13/11/2016 14:44

My DP has been teaching our niece this one but not to sing it when we are with her Grin

I know a song that will get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves.

I know a song that will get on your nerves all day long.

Repeat, going faster and faster and louder and louder.

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 14:45

Sorry Fame, but I will just have to accept your earworm as collateral damage on this occasion Grin

yabu
because now I can't get the world's most annoying song out of my head.

only do it if you are far enough away and can't hear it.

Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 15:06

They are both the short versions...

The long version keeps replaying until it drives you crazy and you get up and physically turn it off yourself

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 15:06

This is fab... I might commission an album to be made! Halo

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 15:07

Haha sorry pink Grin

OP posts:
Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 15:09

leek spin

Again the short version

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 15:14

OMG that leek song! Its awful whilst being strangely hypnotic! GrinConfused

Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 15:15

I know!! We had a competition to see who lasted the longest. I think I managed 40 mins before I switched it off

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 13/11/2016 15:18

Great minds, Soubriquet!

Wookiecookies · 13/11/2016 15:19

40 mins? Shock hats off to you, you are a strong person indeed! Grin
