Maybe should be looking for a new job unless you can get sympathy from management. Have you talked to management?

Not yet. But i'm on step from doing this... I havent done this yet because i don't want this guy mad... Imagine. Haha

Probably should do it sooner rather than later. Boss should want you happy and productive. Now telling them to fix it or you go is a different story. Has to be handled much more carefully. Last contract found that I probably could have gone to my contracting agency and they would have moved me temporaily to New York to ensure I did not loose rights to having per diem. Instead I changed companies. Oh well.

Eh? Presumably you have your office mate have basically the same job yet that person is allowed to sing all day and listen to the radio and you can't wear headphones?
Perhaps you should ask about that policy.
Perhaps you should suggest to human resources that to insure productivity that no one can listen to the radio, sing or drum on their desk.

Talk to your boss or HR, whatever your company rules are.

Apart of killing him, breaking him badly or speaking to HR or your bosses... have you considered speaking with him calmly and explaining your case? who knows, it is possible that he is happy with the job and that feel well with teammates and is not noticing that is being heavier than a ton of rocks...
If that is not working, then the next normal and natural step will be to kill him by giving him a big amount of rat poison. Oh, and when he will be panting in front of you, you could sing and tap the table like drums... (that was a joke of course...)

1. Have you tried asking him to stop?
2. Have you tried talking with HR about it if #1 didn't work?
3. Look for a new job?

Other people in the office are OK with it? Put a microphone there and amplify the singing so everyone can enjoy it.

So, take your taser, file off the serial numbers, then shoot him.

I used to be the guy thrumming his fingers on the desk, I didn't even realize I was doing it as loud as I thought it was until someone pointed it out.
Oops 
Talk to him about it. If he's a decent guy he'll be embarrassed about it and probably stop. If not, then talk to your manager.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Why wait 3 months? Send him a polite IM or email requesting that he not sing and drum on the desk. He's probably not aware that he's disturbing you. (If he was, you would've said something.  )

Noise cancelling headphones are the greatest invention since... erm... radio?
[edit] Oh, I just saw your earlier reply that you can't have headphones. Just kill him and dump his body in the confidential papers shredder bin - it worked for me!

Realistically of course there are only three alternatives
1. He stops
2. You quit
3. He quits.
Option 1/3 means that you must find some way to make it happen.
You could of course negotiate with option 2 by saying "He stops making noise or I am out of here". That of course depends on your own situation and how valuable the company finds you and him.
