Once spent a holiday in Malta in an apartment located next door to an almost all night karaoke bar. Our arrival coincided with its opening and the opening of the bar doors onto the street so that they could spread the "musical happiness". After about a week the local residents had had enough of the racket and managed to get the doors closed, the volume down and the hours curtailed. We no longer needed to catch up on sleep during the daytime , bliss.

Karaoke obviously has its place, the bottom of the Marianas Trench comes to mind.
