Really Bad Music Question for the Community [View all]

Suppose Aliens were invading the earth and we knew that really bad music could repell them from our planet. Which song would you play extremely loudly, at volume 11 with the song on repeat in order to ensure that the Aliens would abandon their plans to overtake our planet. Sure the humans on the earth would suffer for a bit but we would salvage our planet for future generations.

If I couldn't find a video of Sarah Palin playing the flute at her Miss Alaska Pageant then I'd probably put Nickelback on permament repeat until the Aliens abandoned all hope.
