The Village People famously sang the line, "Nobody can stop the music".

Well, apparently all it takes is a party pooper with a shovel.

Police are looking for a man who was so fed up with the musical talents of guests at a karaoke party in Tully in far north Queensland on Friday night he took matters into his own hands.

He allegedly entered the Pease Street home just before midnight, smashed the machine with a shovel and left.

He was described as being of Caucasian appearance, approximately 175 centimetres tall with a proportionate build, aged in his 50s with blond and grey hair and a moustache.
