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 http://www.diacenter.org/km/musiccd.html
's
list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ,
a children's chorus, 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. (We didn't think
that was possible either.)"
