A couple of friends of mine were great at dorm sound wars.  If neighbors 
wouldn't turn down their stereos, one would blast back with O Fortuna from 
Carmina Burana in retaliation... usually worked pretty well.  The other had 
a very extensive music collection, and would typically be able to find the 
same song the neighbor was blasting, and would blast it in return... just 
off the other's beat.  Surprisingly effective :-)
