kaini Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Quote MP3: Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever By Eliot Van Buskirk 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. The song is not new, but it resurfaced on Dial "M" for Musicology. 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.

Guest spraaaa Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 the "most popular song" they also did was actually annoying. this one is just kind of stupid because it just sticks things together instead of trying to enhance whatever made them annoying in the first place....

autopilot Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 We made this back in high school trying to scientifically attempt the same thing. I think we did better. It features punk guitar and a 1991 Casio horn solo.

Guest epsy Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I guess they just consider it bad because it combines instruments/themes/genresnobody cares about anymore. At least this is interesting. Most shit on the radio isn't even interesting enough to be shitty Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42362-scientific-attempt-to-create-the-most-annoying-song-ever/#findComment-943524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 it's not that one part is bad that makes it bad.. it's the transition s from one slightly annoying instrument to the next and then repeated. i couldn't listen to it lol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42362-scientific-attempt-to-create-the-most-annoying-song-ever/#findComment-943573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
