Fruits with most irritating music during play

My nominations are as follows (most irritating 1st):
Trailblazer (sounds like some fucked up clown show music which was made to cause insomnia)
The Lone Ranger (very silly, stupid cowboy music)
Indian Jones And The Temple of Doom (very, very tedious indeed)
What are yours?

Hmmmz? I can't fully remember the actual tune but The Codfather had some really quite annoying samples.
The fish would wobble about and samples like a faux Italian accent saying 'Welcome to the Codfather'
Ugh

'Oh no, you didn't want to see that' - DOND????
The constant 'Hi-yahhhh' on Kung Fu.
The casino five liner (stop the 6,12) and Hi-Lo time outs.

Oh yeah! Codfather! With the fucking fish that used to distract me!!! I was lucky, I had 1 with a busted fish so I wouldn't keep looking up thinking "What now????" every few presses on the board! Who on earth thought of such a silly gimmick? Can you imagine punters sitting around thinking, "Oh I don't normally play the fruits but I will play that one because its got a moving fish above it!"???????????
Cod Almighty!

On the gimmick side of things does anyone remember when they had prizes on some also??
I just about remember one that would offer a watch as top prize - this was in the £6/£4.80 tokens cross-over days.
Put around £15 in and got unlimited nudges and the blasted thing would auto-nudge the prize in as oppose to the jp. Needless to say I never took the nudges again!

I remember that Casino 5 Liner music, same as Arcadia Shoot Em Up - that was fun on the cancel button!

Didn't the cancel (or any button really) stop the tune also though?

Yes it did stop the tune until you let go.
Back on topic my nomination is BFM Pick of the Pack, at least I think thats what it was called. Hideous music.
Talking of Codfather, if the fish didn't work properly surely it would alarm and come up with Cod Error on the screen?

Oh yeah, I forgot! The Arcadia SEU music would just suddenly come on as soon as u let go of the cancel! That's how long its been then, eh?
Great gag about the Codfather McStreak, very well plaiced.

Oh good old Cashraker, I thought that was a brilliant one!

The worst would be when collecting knockouts on Cash Attack (Supercharged clone).
Followed by the main feature music for Fruitopia. Not that the music itself is bad, but I've heard people using the same accompaniment on MP3.com / Soundclick. So it's gotta be a fairly common chord / beat / riff / whatever, available on keyboards or synthesisers.
