Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever

An online poll conducted in the ’90s set Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier on a quest to create the most annoying song ever. After gathering data about people’s least favorite music and lyrical subjects, they did the unthinkable: they combined them into a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners.

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.

Komar & Melamid and David Soldier’s list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children’s chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. It’s actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone.

I got up to make some tea, thinking “Well, it’s a little irritating, but not unfathomably so” and then suddenly opera rap began and I turned around to STARE at my computer in horror and confusion.

Jesus fuck. They succeeded.

oh god i can’t stop laughing

this is my jam

I can masturbate to this quite easily.

Seriously though, I didn’t find it that ANNOYING, just bizarre. But then, it’s kind of hard to repulse me musically, since I find pretty much every kind interesting, and the mixture here was FASCINATING. And hilarious. 

Opera rap and bagpipes, good god.

oh my god the opera rapping holy fuck I can’t deal with this it is amazing

fucking accordions though

Good god how long was that I just listened to the whole thing.

I just.

Opera rap.

Oh God…
