Great news. Scientists have discovered the "worst song ever." After conducting online research in the early 90s about people's least favorite musical and lyrical subjects, Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier began a mission to produce the most annoying song ever. It's pretty terrible. Listen here.



    "Amazingly, this “most unwanted music” contains little dissonance — that would have been too easy. For the most part, they seem to have tried to assemble these elements in a listenable way."

The song features unloved elements such as holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children's chorus and the concept of children in general, Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas, and more.

While interesting, this is right up there with the dumbest studies of 2008. Why are we spending $ on this again?

What did you think of the awful song?

That was the biggest waste of life and time. I've heard songs on the radio I hated more than that and they probably didn't take half as much thought and time and money as that took. And who did the scientists take it from? Us. Don't they have something better to do?

ShadowAngel

I can't listen to it 'cause I'm at the library and there aren't any speakers on here and headphones don't work for some reason. But I am wondering what the point of making the "Most Annoying Song Ever" is.

I think the song would actually be fine.. That is, the only thing that really makes it UNBEARABLE is that it's about the length of a TV show without commercials..

I will NEVER listen to that whole song, but not because it is annoying, but because it's WAY too long. I got to like 2 minutes into it & stopped, but I still think it could be MORE annoying than that.
