OT: Your house is…….

[Woof 101]

A second thought from another great. @64Zcode came up seconds before I submitted but love Sam Cooke.
So I'll move on to the ever popular song in my circle of friends and musicians that has been played for decades. At many parties and events by those that may not be the best singer in the band. The reason Commander Cody wrote it as his band wanted him to sing a song.

 

[Aluminny69]

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time (Don't do it)
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price, no, no (Don't do it)
Ain't gonna fight with no thief in the night

 

[Aluminny69]

The

The famous first few bars of the opening from “Dragnet”. Maybe some audio of Jack Webb or Harry Morgan saying “hands up”. Lol

Ask, and you shall receive

It's not Steve Marriott, but they do a really nice job with the cover.

Alright, alright, alright, alright.

30 Days In The Hole - The Black Crowes

 

[meyers7]

Not sure why I didn't think of this first off.

Well, if I really wanted to be evil, "It's a Small World" would be played on a continuous loop and I would tell the police that they could slow their response. But, since I would probably be ticked off that my house was broken into, I would be more likely to have this one played LOUD!

Not exactly a song about law breaking or prison, but the chorus is right on point if you mess with me.

 

[JeannoCT]

Not as an alarm, but I would play "Afternoon Delight" on a continuous loop. The thief would call the cops, begging to get out.

 

[Hoops66]

I think that this may be cruel and unusual punishment but it should do the trick. (Fair warning if you should listen too.) Sorry in advance.

 

[64Zcode]

I thought about putting this up last night and now that the Nazareth line has been crossed....

I'm with Rocket009 and Hoops66. If someone violates my space, I wanna punish them. I'm assuming that anyone who'd break into a house wouldn't have, shall we say, as open a mind to noisy music as I do. I'll post three, and anyone who likes noisy music and isn't familiar with them should definitely have a listen. I own or have owned all of these.

The first is from native Nutmegger Charles Ives, and does give a bit of a chain-gang feel.

Next we have Pere Ubu, with absolutely crazy vocals of David Thomas.

There are many possibilities from Frank Zappa -- I'd originally thought of a couple cuts from Weasels Ripped my Flesh, but then the cackling from Lumpy Gravy occurred to me. This starts out pretty mellow, but degenerates into one of the most obnoxious sounds at about the 1:00 mark.

Aside: There's a story about a DJ in the late 60's who'd just been fired and barricaded himself in the station and vowed to play "My boyfriend's back" by FZ and the Mothers till he was rehired. I don't remember how it turned out, but supposedly he broadcast the record many many times before finally being taken off the air.
