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.

HEY EVERYBODY, IT’S LABOR DAY! omg these just cracked me up.

oh sweet jesus.

SCIENCE HAS GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME AUAUUGGHHGHGHH

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE

Is it bad if I kind of like it?

I was singing along by the end. “Labor Dayyyy! Labor Dayyyy!”

I listened to the whole thing.

I had to stop as soon as the children started singing the Christmas song. But god, this is so terrible it’s hilarious. 

Hilarious.
