When you are playing music at an open mic night and a complete stranger jumps on stage and starts playing with you without asking.

Highly annoying, especially if said stranger isn't nearly as good as they think they are.

A portmanteau word from "jam" and "ambush." Past tense "jambushed."
Roommate: Yo, how was open mic tonight?

Bleeding-heart songwriter: Lame. Got jambushed by this drunk harmonica player. Just leaped up without saying anything and started doing terrible, terrible things to my song.

Roommate: Sucks, dude.

jambushed 

When one unwittingly opens a Myspace page and is surprised by the music loaded onto the profile. This usually occurs when the subject's speakers are at an above normal volume, but wasn't previously listening to something. Often a furious and spastic search ensues to close the offending page.

In some cases, a Myspace profile will have more than one song loaded onto it. The resulting sound can be described as no less than an aural car accident.
I opened her myspace up and went back to finish the e-mail I was writing, only to have a good 20 seconds of Fall Out Boy at an earsplitting volume.
