Ok, admittedly I’m just here to rant.

at 8.30am this lovely Sunday morning my neighbours, who are normally fine, started playing the SAME SONG on repeat at a defeating volume. Woke the whole house up and you can hear it in every room.

AIBU to think this is completely f-ing unacceptable?!

p.s there are some pregnancy hormones at play here but…. Shhh

Playing Ace of Base 'I Saw the Sign' on repeat got a neighbour of mine stabbed to death in New Zealand. Not by us.

Shit, I laughed at this.

Your phone will probably be able to tell you exactly what the song is.

Retailiate with baby shark on a loop.

Cruel and unusual 😆

RideACockHorseToSunburyCross · 09/04/2023 09:37

Why won't you tell us the song?

Odd isn’t it

WhatTheHeckyPeck · 09/04/2023 09:40

I'd retaliate by playing the full version of "I am the resurrection" by The Stone Roses.

Because she doesn't know what it is?

Has it stopped yet op? It may be an Easter tradition but I think it's still reasonable to go round and request that they play the song at a volume just for them, rather than for the whole street.

MrsSkylerWhite · 09/04/2023 09:41

Given the song, they’re probably celebrating Easter. Annoying, though.

Oysterbabe · 09/04/2023 09:42

Can you Shazam it?

SquidwardBound · 09/04/2023 09:43

Is there a religious group for whom Easter is celebrated by playing a single song on a loop at home til your neighbours revolt?

What's odd is not reading all of OP's posts and then posting total irrelevancies like this.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 09/04/2023 09:47

You could always knock on the door and ask them to turn it down…

Yellowrosesmakemehappy · 09/04/2023 09:48

Oh God I would be raging, when I was pregnant I had super human hearing and a super sense of smell too. I was angry at most noise and through everything stunk 😂😂

NoTouch · 09/04/2023 09:54

Very strange. Is it an alarm that had been set to wake them up, they forgot they set it and are dead in their beds went out

3luckystars · 09/04/2023 10:04

Its Phil Collins isn’t it.

mbosnz · 09/04/2023 10:06

To be fair, it was definitely the wrong kind of neighbourhood to pull that shit on.

BittenontheBum · 09/04/2023 10:08

I would definitely knock the door.
Probably tell them that song hasn't resurrected Jesus but has woken your house and can they SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/04/2023 10:11

Start planning your Christmas PlayList to punish them.

On a loop
When a Child Is Born -Johnny Mathis
Mary;s Boy Child - Boney M
FairyTale of New York- The Pogues featuring Kirsty McColl
If you really really hate them , then the Ronan Keating version of FoNY
Or Slade

Haha no I definitely haven’t! Honestly we keep to ourselves have never even spoken to them except to be polite.

DP has been doing some Googling and we suspect this is an Easter tradition 🤦🏼‍♀️ which makes me slightly more sympathetic but not enough haha

Easter tradition? What song?

Cinnamon23 · 09/04/2023 10:27

So many people not reading the post, OP has already said it’s a gospel song that isn’t in English.

OP, I agree it’s annoying but it sounds like it’s part of their culture/religion - I’d let them crack on (no pun intended).

Put some music of your own on and have an Easter egg!

8am Sunday

You don't need to add the morning bit as well.

Prick.

user1492757084 · 09/04/2023 10:29

Easter Sunday! Everyone is up around here - happily Easter egg hunting in the garden, singing Lord of the Dance, cooking breakfast over fires etc ..
Maybe you'll score a chocolate bunny or some hot cross buns.
