I think it's time my Pantera-loving neighbors get a taste of their own medicine. Now which cast recording will annoy them most? Annie? You're A Good Man Charlie Brown? Remember - I'm about to blast this.
Oh, do give them a loud dose of Candide. It tends to irritate the unenlightened.

If you're familiar with Bat Boy--the song "children, children"
if not..."contact" from RENT? not annoying but sexual and may bug them.
but for the annoyance factor, TOTALLY annie. Annie is soooo annoying

How 'bout some "What Do The Simple Folk DO?" from Camelot? That's enough to drive even us theater nuts crazy.

Annie sounds like a good plan. Unless it kills you first. I know it would kill me. Or maybe, in the other direction, RENT.

Get a cd by Vestal Goodman. She is the Ethel Merman of Gospel music. Trust me, it works everytime.

Lol. I'd blast 'Whatcha Wana DO Tonight' from Bat Boy. If you don't know it, it's pretty intimidating, especially coming from the house next door.
I would say Blue Man Group* or Blast!*.
*I've never heard these cd's and don't know if they're technically CR's, but they sound like they'd be good to blast.
LI'L ABNER. I love it but I've seen it send people screaming from the room.

Annie or Cats. They'll get a kick out of that.
I used to LOVE blasting my Ragtime, The Life, and Godspell cd's to annoy my neighbors in the Bronx.

I *have* listened to Blue Man Group...VERY loud. Put that on, and they'll never get to sleep.

The Dona Nobis Pacem sequence of Bernstein's MASS. (Be sure to program for repeated play!)
My neighbor is currently playing the Chinese pop a little louder than I would like. I would blast some Varèse (generally known as Western music's loudest composer) or some Ives (one of the craziest), but I have other neighbors as well. The overture to Candide would be dandy as well. What about Gypsy? The trumpet?
Or Hedwig! I forgot Hedwig!
Nothing will piss your neighbors off more than opera.
Put on La Bohem, or Madame Butterfly and just crank it.
I would also suggest turning the speakers twords the wall...
Man, this brings back memories of college....
Totally "Tanz Der Vampire" there is no other choice!
Doe a deer, a female deer, Doe a deer, a female deer, Doe a deer, a female deer, Doe a deer, a female deer,
Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music. Listening to that song once makes me want to rip out my hair. Repeating it over and over again at full volume just sounds like hell.
'A Year With Frog and Toad.'
I always want to throw something while listening to this.

The moment the OUVERTURE from Tanz hits it'll be like a tidal wave. It'll blow up their house!
Second that with Jekyll & Hyde: Confrontation & World
IT WORKS FOR ME EVERYTIME!
Muahahahahaaha!!
ANNIE mos def, or something ALW, like cats
"You Can be as Loud as the Hell you Want" from Q
Now that is sure to scare anyone!
or the internet is for porn
The Merestille section of Beethoven's "Opus 112-Meerestille und Gluckliche Fahrt". Good listeing for you, and horribly lous german choir music for them!(Yes, I realize its not a showtune, but it works for me!)
Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions! Started with "It's A Hard Knock Life" and ended with "Eating Myself Up Alive" from A New Brain. Ahhhhh peace and quiet!
