::car alarm sounds outside::
You know the one -- the series of 5 or 6 different "whooping" noises popularized in the late '90s. This goes on for a few minutes.
Noah: The only thing car alarms do these days is embarrass the car owner. [All agree.] Me: We're all desensitized to it now; nobody pays attention. [More agreement.] Me: I think car alarms should be like ringtones. Instead of harsh noises, you pick a song that gets blasted really loud. People would pay attention to that. Jackson: I think you're onto something! Harry: I'd play "I Just Called (To Say I Love You)". Me: Definitely! I mean, I'm sure some would elect for the "hip-hop", but I imagine most are desensitized to that, too. It's gotta be the kind of song you'd never expect to hear loud. Harry: I'd buy a cellphone just to set the ringtone to "Bridge Over Troubled Water".I think I'd make my car alarm play "Can You Read My Mind". Nothing says "step away from my car!" like a song announcing that Superman is your boyfriend. In a realated story: For the record, I think "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is maybe one of Simon & Garfunkel's worst songs. That's right, I said it. It's not even a bad track, they just have **so many other amazing tunes**. It comes from a wonderful album, however (Bridge Over Troubled Water), but it is by far its weakest link.
I'd choose the sound of a parrot.
By god, I think the embarrassed car owner stole that parrot . . .
For the record -- for the second time today -- I cannot stand birds as pets. When I was in elementary school, a friend had a cockatoo that would insist on squawking the theme to The Andy Griffith Show every morning. I've been traumatized ever since.
