Angry Problems Starting the Z28!!

I was sitting at my gf's moms house, with it on aux. listenting to music, all of a sudden.. the radio flickers and everything gets bugged, so i turn the car off. I go to turn it back on and all I hear is very loud consective clicks.. real fast, and nothing.. radio works lights work, everything else works, car just wont start. Its the starter for sure, but I took out the fuses for the starter and it sounds the same. So I dont know im at a loss, any ideas??

listened to it to long and your battery died is what it sounds like.

Did you try to jump start it?
