Justin Bieber's music is so grating that people will pay money to make it stop.
Starting Monday, administrators at a Washington state high school played the troubled pop singer's 2010 hit "Baby" over the loudspeaker during lunch and between classes. They told students that the only way the music would stop playing was if they collectively donated a total of $500 for a school in Ghana.

The school supported by the fundraising efforts is the high school's sister school, Crossover International Academy, which provides education for orphaned children in the African nation.
"We decided that playing one song over and over would be more annoying to really get it stuck in their head," student government president Conner Stakelin told TODAY.com. "We considered it motivation for them to donate."
The trick definitely worked. The music only lasted until Tuesday, when the students far exceeded the goal. They raised more than $1,000 total. Money also came from Bieber-loathing good Samaritans from the community. A local radio station picked up the story and donated an additional $500 to the cause.
As for the students of Tenino High School, the worst may be yet to come. "I think we’d definitely do it again," Stakelin said.
Moral of the story: No good deed goes unpunished — or un-Biebered.
