    How about a kick to the groin to shut you up?
    Football in the groin!

      I'm sorry, I'm one of those that will go into the toy aisles and find the toy cars and the toy ambulances and fire engines that have the "realistic" sounds and will press the buttons on every one that I can find. More than once.
      Once at the grocers shop nearest to my mothers home there was a nice big toy fire engine. While we were there the siren button was pressed four times.
      Next month when I was visiting her again there was a sign: IF YOU PRESS THE BUTTON, YOU HAVE BOUGHT THE FIRE ENGINE!

        At Blockbuster Video we had these types of things. We turned them all off. They were still purchased anyway.

          My old cat would have torn its head off. XD
          People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life.

            Oddly enough, yesterday or the day before America's funniest Home Videos was talking about that singing fish and played the song to a montage of people falling over in the river or getting smacked on the head with a canoe or driving their trucks into it. Wasn't a bad song but I can see why people hated it after the first two seconds.

            "Brandi" who used to work at my Aid of Rite had a fascination with the singing dancing flowers we had for Valentine's Day that played "You Are My Sunshine" in a high pitched, nasally whine. We had several behind the register, along with singing, dancing dogs and gorillas. Between customers she loved to press the buttons, and even with a customer she would press the buttons and squeal like a child and talk about "OMG LIEK HOW KAYUTE OMG LIEK 4EVA SOOOOOO KAYUTE OMG!". She would sneak into the Valentine's Aisle to press the buttons on ALL the singing, dancing whatever so we would hear them for 5 minutes, and if they stopped she would press them again. She did that to the ones behind the counter too. For my shifts whenever I worked with her I got to hear a constant barrage of "You are WHOA I Feel GOOD (Da Na Na Na Na Na) sweet it is to be loved by you *bells shaking* when you're not happy how sweet it is to be loved I feel I knew that I would *bells shaking* (da na na na na) my skies are grey like honey to bees".

            This year, we have only 5 singing dancing flowers scattered over the store, and the singing dancing dog with bells on his tail is WAY up on a high shelf where no one can reach them unless they really, really stretch. The flowers play "L.O.V.E". And we only hear them go off 7 times a week because they are hidden in plain sight. They're right there on the glass cosmetic racks, but everyone goes right past them and don't notice them unless they try. And we don't have "Brandi". Sweet, sweet silence.

            In 2007, when I started, a couple days before Christmas, we had a singing bear that sang "No Place Like Home For The Holidays". He was motion activated. There were five all over the front end alone. By the end of my first day I dearly wanted to drop kick all the bears into oblivion. By the end of the second I wanted to rip off my ears.

            This past Christmas I kept hearing the phantom of that damn bear and was wondering where it was until I realized it was the in store music that was playing it.

            Damn bear, can still hear him 3 years later.

              I have to admit that I have one of those hamsters that sings "Kung Fu Fighting". But I don't annoy people with, just for my own amusement on occasion. Actually, come to think of it, it doesn't even have batteries at the moment.

              I've also got a frog that ribbits "Jingle Bells"....well, used to. There are no batteries in it and there never will be again. I had to take them out because it would just go off randomly on it's own....at 2am a few times. Scared the crap out of me.

              I would throw the slammer (that shouted "NO NO NO") against the wall.
              Now those I find hilarious. I've always wanted one.

              I feel your pain. When I worked at the garden centre, we carried these dancing Santas. They'd light up and sing Jingle Bells for a good five minutes.
              We had some that played "Blue Christmas" and would move their hips in a certain way that looked very rude from the back. I'm really surprised that we didn't have complaints about them.

                'looked very rude from the back' I almost violated rule #1.

                  anything like Boot To the Head??????

                  I too had one of those musical "Drop Me in the Water" fish back in the mid 90's. had a light sensor instead of a button. we put it on the floor and it used drive our cat NUTZ cause it swung its head out and sang
                  I had a robin that would chirp, and we set it on the floor, where it promptly attracted 4-5cats. Only one was brave enough to reach out and smack it on the head, while the others just stared. Then I switched it to sing "Rockin' Robin" and they all scattered the first time it went off.
                  Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.
