There should be standard-issue earplugs in all offices in Xiamen. For one thing, when people are on the telephone, ear-splitting volumes when speaking appear to be essential ingredients for a successful conversation. Second, evergreen hits like It Never Rains in Southern California are mitigating circumstances for mass homicide.
(Playing Elvis’ Love Me Tender does not make things better, no matter how much I love The King.)
Update (1pm): Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton are singing Islands in the Stream. I should get hardship pay for this.

Our building was still paying Christmas carols in July. When we asked them to change, they put on a funeral dirge! Now we have ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’. Please kill me now!

Have you been to the Rock Bar? The band plays OK music, but in the breaks the put on Allison Krause (who I like actually) and everyone goes to sleep!
