Some guy in Colorado was celebrating his 26th birthday over the weekend. As part of the festivities, he took it upon himself to sing Macklemore's "Thrift Shop." Repeatedly. To the point that his girlfriend choked him out in retaliation and wound up arrested.

The woman is 23-year-old Samantha Malson, who says the nonstop singing "annoyed" her, especially when her boyfriend wouldn't stop after she asked him to "25 times." However, what really did Malson in was her warrant for a previous assault, which cops discovered after running her ID on the scene. Still, "Thrift Shop" was the trigger.

Any song gets irritating after a while. Can you blame her?
