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.

Oh god.

why

I LOST IT at the opera rapping

LOST. IT.

PLEASE LISTEN UNTIL YOU HEAR THE OPERA RAPPING.

They should have made the key in F or F#. That’ll really annoy people!

This is brilliant and easier to listen to than rap or hiphop. :|

I just…I can’t. My can is GONE. What even is this?

wat

It’s not enough…to wait and see.

I almost stabbed my computer

 I once managed to listen to this completely

trying this again

I don’t find harps annoying though

I can’t. If I had a window in my room, my computer wouldn’t still be here.

Jesus, first seconds and I wanted to crash something…
