To want to confiscate their microphone.

Next door neighbours are having a party; lots of bbq smells, music and laughter. All fine until they got their kareoke machine out, and started singing on the patio. I use the word ‘sing’ in the very loosest sense of the word! Painful to the ears!

AIBU to want to knick their microphone or at the very least to pray for it to start raining so they have to ‘sing’ inside?!!

hit the power supply 😂

Sounds fun. 😬 What’s on the song list so far?

SometimesIFeedTheSparrows · 24/07/2021 21:18

Could be worse.

There's a guy out there back of us somewhere who is in a band and they have been having al fresco band practices. So you get the first few lines. And then someone fucks up and they stop, and start again, play the first bit again, stop, argue, start again.

If they ever finish the song I'd give them a round of applause Grin

To be very honest, there’s nothing which is recognisable!!

Oh dear! 😅

I will pray for rain for you. 🙏🏻

I might be one of your neighbours. Next door have been warbling away for over an hour!

We've got out the Singstar and are now competing with them... Can't beat em, join em!

ThinWomansBrain · 24/07/2021 21:33

rain

or a lightning storm that hits the mike.

I don’t think we are neighbours there’s no way, id use the word warbling!!!

I’m really tempted to go out and join in the whooping after each song. Or maybe hold up score ‘a la strictly’ over the fence?

If they're halfway through a truly disturbing rendition of a Mariah Carey song, we're neighbours.

We are countering their attack with Bring me to life by Evanescence. I had no idea my voice could go that high...

Cryalot2 · 24/07/2021 21:53

Have you a plant mister? It looks and feels like rain.
Move alexa to your door and get her to fart, or cheer.
So sorry for the awful noise.

Sorry to distract the thread but see it at the end of posts and have no idea.

No idea, sorry. I only put the prayer emoji and then that appeared after it.Confused

Our neighbours seem to be doing karaoke in the garden tonight, they particularly enjoyed "It's Friday I'm in love" very loud. Their "Murder on the dance floor" really needs more work though, pretty terrible tbh.

I’m surprised that there’s garden karaoke going on in other places too! Sorry for your pain people! (Looking for a headphones style emoji!)

If you can’t beat ‘em … go over grab the mic and give your best rendition of Cardi B’s WAP to (hopefully) embarrassed silence followed by everyone starting to pack up and go.

I’m fairly sure that just gets tagged onto some emojis for some reason - not sure why but guessing it’s something to do with either MN’s setup or people’s devices not being able to read them properly.
Rightsaidmabel · 24/07/2021 22:35

Thanks ! I was beginning to very lost.

Please do. There is a back garden karaoke going on somewhere behind my house this evening, Black Velvet has been sung 4 times already, very badly.

My neighbours are on ‘ain’t no mountain high enough’ but actually they just switched it mid song to ‘I can’t help falling in love with you’.

Not my neighbours really, the ones next door to work.

My own neighbours have a band and are brilliant lol

Just come up to bed and can hear Return of the Mack being bellowed from somewhere in the distance. God help their close by neighbours.
