Music can be used for many ends

It can be used to soothe, to please others, to express oneself, to make money and on and on. It can also be used for other ends. Remember Manuel Noriega when he holed up in the Apostolic Nunciature, the Holy See's embassy in Panama. During the resulting stand-off, U.S. forces bombarded the embassy with loud music played through boom boxes to try and get him to vacate the premises.

Well, I could not resist linking to this article about songs used to interrogate suspects and induce them to confess. Please look at choice number 5 on the list.

People who know me well know that I have long maintained that playing the first few bars of this choice would be enough to get me to confess to anything. It is interesting to see that it has actually been used, albeit in New Zealand to protect a mall from misled youth. I firmly believe that repeated listening to this specific genre of music does eventually lead to cranial implosion and have said so in other writings.
