What songs would you blare from a loudspeaker if you needed to disperse a crowd?

...

ANYTHING by Taylor Swift.

She's #11 on the all-time best selling artists list, ahead of Queen, the Eagles, the stones, Springsteen, AC/DC, and U2.

So good choice if you want to keep the crowd, not disperse them.

 

[Killing Floor]

Mambo #5 on my list

 

[Killing Floor]

Or Lady Sniff from the Surfers. Depends on the crowd.

 

[57pbass]

Any song by Springsteen..

 

[Rip Van Dan]

You could always play the B-side of the single...it's the entire recording backwards.

 

[rtslinger]

What four pages without a mention

 

[Honkey tonk]

I wonder how this makes the songwriters feel?

If I was the writer of any of those songs the only thing I would feel is the softness of really expensive sheets on my bed as I lay there as long as I want in the morning trying to decide whether I want to take the Ferrari to the ski chalet or the Ducati to the beach house.

This might do the trick......

Wow. That’s all I got.

 

[Watchootognbout]

How about this version?

 

[themickster]

One's most hated is another's fave.

Tough crowd. I think most people hate songs/bands to be hipper than the room. That being said, there are genres that I avoid because I don't connect with them... no hate though.

I think your objection has more to do with the routine misuse of the word ‘hate’ to signify ‘dislike’ or “strongly don’t agree with” - or when used in an attempt to claim a moral high ground by characterizing an opposing viewpoint as such - than anything else.

No need for virtue signaling in this particular context. I seriously doubt anyone in their right mind could summon up an emotion as strong actual hatred towards something as inconsequential as a song.

Just the main hook from “We Like To Party” by the Vengaboys, or the Baby Shark song mentioned earlier.

A simple one would be a squealing car alarm on loop.

I would rather stick needles in my eardrums than listen to this one more time...

Came in to post ^^^this.
Glad to see my work is done.

Anything Hootie and the Blowfish - dismal.

I know I've told this one here before: nearly 30 years ago a friend called me up, he doesn't say "hi" or even identify who it is, just as soon as I pick up the phone he asks "What's the name of that band that sucks?"

I take maybe half a second and then offer "Hootie and The Blowfish?"

He says "That's it, thanks!" and hangs up. True Story

I'm definitely not trying to be political here. But I was fascinated to learn via this mornings news that playing songs from this "list" is becoming an accepted way of attempting to disperse crowds. A sonic fire hose if you will. I wonder if how this makes the songwriters feel? What songs would you blare from a loudspeaker if you needed to disperse a crowd?

As a resident of downtown Ottawa, I appreciate this thread.

This is my first pick.

Anything Hootie and the Blowfish - dismal. Oh, and Closing Time - I lose the will to live when I hear that tune....

The crowd almost always sings along with "Closing Time".

 

[Dincrest]

"It's a Small World After All." That song is like kryptonite for most people I'm aware of.
