Last night had already been a pretty fun weeknight by the time bedtime rolled around. It being Thursday, we had invited some friends over to play Rock Band, and for several hours we enjoyed pretending to some sort of musical ability conjoined with superstardom. But eventually any night’s entertainment, no matter how sublime, must end; and come the end of the evening, we reluctantly put away our “instruments”, bid our friends farewell, and prepared for bed.
Imagine our surprise and delight, then, when we were jolted awake at approximately 1:45 AM by an improvised performance from our upstairs neighbors! More entertainment, apparently created just for us, and available without even leaving our warm, comfortable bed! We immediately began listening to the raised voices, not wishing to miss any of the performance. Fortunately, the volume was more than sufficient to carry through the floor and into our bedroom.
On the whole, it was a fairly impressive satire of the usual tropes so often seen in such domestic disturbances. The various elements and stages were all clearly present: the exchange of bellows on both the male and female sides, followed by the apparent “giving up” of the involved man while the woman continued her shouting, followed by the loud and hysterical crying from the woman as shouting proved ineffective at provoking the desired reaction, followed by evident softening from the man as things subsided into a more civil tone.
At this point, we admit to believing the performance to be over, and starting to go back to sleep – only to be jolted awake again by the equally loud sounds of conciliatory lovemaking. Unfortunately, this was probably the weakest aspect of the act; while we admire the participants’ enthusiasm in emulating the hysterically funny sounds often present in such activities, the woman’s part in particular sounded a bit forced and inauthentic, which detracted from the humor somewhat. Perhaps a bit more practice is in order?
Still, it was an impressive act overall; with a bit of refinement we would heartily recommend taking it on tour to other locations. Definitely one you can’t miss hearing when it comes to your area!

Any suggestions/comments for making it wittier before I post this on their door this afternoon would be appreciated.

But as far as being an ice-cold burn and getting their attention, oh yeah, break out the flight suit and aircraft carrier 'cause oh damn, mission accomplished. And if they can't ignore it, maybe they'll remember that oh yeah, we're not the only damn people paying rent in this building!
