Short story:

Besieged General Manuel Noriega surrenders to the US military forces who have been blasting his refuge in the Papal Nuncio's residence in Panama City, Panama, Central America, with high volume rock music in a psychological warfare technique aimed at demoralising him. The tactic, known as Operation Nifty Package, included playing such tracks as I Fought The Law by The Clash and Panama by Van Halen at extremely high volumes through loudspeakers pointing at the residence.
