How many times is too many to play a song repeatedly...

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian woman will face court charged with repeatedly stabbing her partner because he played an Elvis Presley song over and over again, police said Tuesday.

Police said the 30-year-old woman was charged with unlawful wounding after her 35-year-old partner was stabbed with a pair of scissors in the back, shoulder and thigh at Northam, about 62 miles east of Perth in Western Australia state on Monday.

The man, whose injuries were described as "non-life threatening," had been repeatedly playing the song "Burning Love," a police spokesman said.

The 1972 song was the U.S. rock great's 40th and last top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

If it was Cheyenne singing, this would not have been an issue.

My sister threatened to stab me when I wouldn't stop playing "The Reflex" by Duran Duran.

Well, had he died it would have been a justifiable homicide.

My friend Mark used to like one song at a time. When I met him it was The Thong Song. Every time we would get in his car, which was a lot, he would play it. As soon as it went off, he would play it again. After, I'd say, 6-8 weeks of that he switched songs. This time it was "You Sang To Me" by Marc Anthony. I am not sure which was worse. Of course, this was all before he came out. I think it was a cry for help.

My lovely and incredible roommate often plays the entire RENT repertoir (not just one song, though). Over and over and over. I feel she may end up dead one day.

If katygrace is reading this, I swear I won't kill you while you sleep!

Yes, that's why I listen with headphones (after listening to "For Good" several times in a row).

DD are you reading?

I can listen to Rent over and over again, and one time I played a Benjy Davis Project [a local band] song on itunes thirty seven times in a row. I just really liked that song on that day I guess.

My roommate for a summer class played a Backstreet Boys song literally 26 times in a row. I wanted to die.

No, cammy, praise Jesus. Thank for making me feel better. At least I know it could be way worse.

I very nearly murdered my roommate just last night...

"Unbreak My Heart". Over. And over. And over. And over. One more time, and he would have been singing "Unbreak My Neck".

JailyardGuy if I were your roommate you wouldn't have been alive today to post that.

Try though I may, I can't possibly think why you would have said that...

My ex did that when "Hella Good" first came out. At 3 in the morning, when I had to work the next day. I had liked that song up to that point. Now I loathe it.
