I am terrible at writing country music, but alas, I hear this internally as a country song, with some good old banjo and maybe some harmonica in there. It's about my next door neighbour and our language barrier...
My next door neighbour's always angry
I hear him yelling through the wall
But he speaks Spanish, I speak English
So I can't understand at all
The man next door is always angry
But in a tongue I don't yet speak
I hear him shouting about 'water'
(Or maybe 'sponge'? Or maybe 'leak'?)
The man next door is always angry
He uses words I do not know
I'll need a better grasp of Spanish
To understand what irks him so
My next door neighbour's always angry
He'll have a heart attack one day
Maybe by then I'll have the Spanish
To tell him help is on the way

Haha such a fun little song, I love it!

I love this! Funny without being mean. I had neighbour like that. We called him "Mr. Shouty." Sadly we could understand him, and he'd nicked most of his dialogue from Eastenders.
Not sure if you're scouting for music for this? Thought up a possible tune- if you like, I can post it tomorrow.

I love the overall idea for this! I'm not sure I hear it as a country song but maybe it's because I play the uke. If I think of anything I will let you know. Hope someone takes it up!
