I NEED TO KNOW, AGHHH! I AM GOING SLOWLY INSANE THE MORE I HEAR HER SING!

I've actually encountered this before and my remedy was to tape her and then play it on a tape recorder from time to time when she was quiet and trying to concentrate. As soon as she realised how annoying (and tone deaf she was) she stopped !!

Is it the colleague that's annoying or is it just the singing? If the colleagues is annoying there's nothing you can do. If it's just the singing then you can just join her/him every time the singing starts. Sing a different tune or sing louder

I would say:
"I know you like to sing, but I find it really hard to concentrate when you do."
She might not even know she is singing. . If she looks crest fallen then offer to take her to the pub to sing her hear out at lunch times :-) Win win!
I know here singing is obviously annoying you, but you should feel lucky to sit next to a chirpy individual. . .

Do what you should always do. Get someone else to tell them!
Explain the situation to your boss and say that it is effecting your concetration at work. Your boss will then speak to the tone deaf colleague and explain that someone has complained, with out mentioning your name.
Job done!

Tell her you have severe tinitus, and that certain pitches of sound give you bad migraines. Like her singing. Or just tell her the truth.....oooooh, or give her the number of someone who does singing lessons - maybe she'll get the hint?

Take up a collection from the office group and buy her gift certificates to fast food restaraunts. A steady diet of that crap will slowly kill any one.

1. Kill her.
2. Spray expanding foam in her mouth.
3. Remove her vocal chords.
4. Ask her nicely.

Tell her, I noticed that you really like singing a lot, do you have other talents? Why not show it to me instead of singing? Nice try...huh...

Just tell her, then let her have her sulk and that should be the last time you hear her sing.

Tell her to tape or record herself on a small mobile recorder, then she will be able to hear herself anytime she wants, that way she can save her vocal cord.
