I used to think kids playing the recorder was the worst "music" ever. Wrong. Russian-American artists Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid conducted a poll a few years back of the music people hated the most, like holiday music, harps and bossanova synths. And they've compiled all of that, and much, much more that into a single 23-minute long song odyssey of sonic suck. But you should listen to it. Why? Opera rapping. Opera. Rapping. Starts at the 1:40 mark. [The Most Unwanted Song via Listening Post]

LOL I actually am enjoying it.
@daftrok: I'm with you. What's wrong with this song?
@daftrok: N/M I JUST HIT 1:40, I'M NOT W/ YOU!
ok, more rap at the 15:00 mark
So we start with a John Wayne western feel, with a slight Monty Python vibe with the horse sound, then busy techno rap opera which went really harsh when the bagpipes kicked in, then my ears exploded.
Yea, this doesn't hold a candle to my 6th grade band rehearsals. It's almost enjoyable.
@Joseph:
Oh wait I'm at 4:30 nvmd this is SHIT! AHHHH! MY EARS! FUCCCCCCCCK!
@daftrok: Did you get to the Walmart part yet?
What about Kenny G's world record 45 minute long note?
First off it's Kenny G.
Second, it's Kenny G for 45 minutes straight.
Thirdly, it only one note, yet he moved like it was his best hit.
I'd rather here Vogon poetry to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas.
I'm surprised it's not "It's a Small World". Argh, now it's stuck in my head again!
It's called "The Most Unwanted Song" and yet I downloaded it. I don't know if I just contradicted myself.
This is the song that never ends,
Yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people-started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the Song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people, started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever
Just because..
And yet, still better than Linkin Park.
Remember, only the first 14 notes of "It's A Small World" are important. Keep playing them over and over again in your head.
Whoa...is she opera rapping about cowboys?
"Do all your shopping...at WALMART!"
Awesome.
I laughed, but it was fucking horrible!!
The problem is that it's just too long so no radio play. Shorten it to 3 minutes and people all over the world will be humming that tuba chorus.
hahahha the opera rap part is seriously AWESOME.
Yeah. That's bad.
But it still doesn't hold a candle to "true" "Difficult Listening Music" [as Laurie Anderson termed it] in terms of sheer unlistenability. I mean, at least it's recognizable as "music".
Try some of this [www.georgecrumb.net] on your ears, then get back to me...
The second part sounds like Ana Gasteyer doing that one snl thing.
haha seriously I am at 5 minutes and I think this is awesome.
HEY EVERYBODY, IT'S CHRISTMASTIME!
CHRISTMASTIME!
CHRISTMASTIME!
AT WAL-MART!
Fark, fark, fark, burn in hell for that one.
all i can say is
HAHAHA... wow
It reminded me of Phantom of the Opera at the Opera part with the organ.
The worst song ever is anything produced by "kids bop". It's the sound that makes me want to kill children.
The pic looks like their pulling out their esophaguses.
@P3nnst8r: Also the lady sings reminds me of Ana Gasteyer as Mrs. Bobbi Mohan-Culp from SNL.
>.~
o.^
@.@
Blargh... I is ded. Teh songs has fatal potential.
Eh.
I've listened to Metal Machine Music all the way through. Using headphones.
This is cute. nothing more.
I'm at 7:00 and seriously, this thing is so funny!
AArgh.... I just heard 7:05. Nevermind.
It was more extremely boring than annoying to me but the sheer blandness of the tune and the schizophrenic opera vocal track and beat slowly drove me insane. At the end, I suddenly realize how abrasive the whole song was because my nerves were tingling and I felt rattled like a bird violently shaken in its cage.
No the song wasn't that bad but they're right, I definitely don't want it.
This sounds incredibly like a bad trip.
I think the way it sounds bad is that it makes you think you're listening to something promising, that rapes your ears.
17:51 sounds familiar. Is it from a movie?
@ripfire4: that = then
It sounded like there was a combination of bagpipes, gamelan, and western at one point.
This is truly a horrible work of evil genius.
this is soo... tripy º_ø
@ripfire4: Link just got nabbed treasure chest from the ocean.
"Philosophy itself is nonsense nonsense" [and queue bagpipes]
It was shortly after that when I had to go Van Gogh on both of my hears.
This would be the best power hour song ever.
Throw this in the mix and drink everytime the genre changes.
Talk about drinking to escape reality.
'kay.
More funny than annoying, really. Though I suppose with repeated listening, the novelty would wear off.
I'm confident that with the new software from Melodyne, I could make this piece into something quite amazing.
YOM KIPPUR!
YOM KIPPUR!
DO ALL YOUR SHOPPING
AT WALMART!!!
RAMADAN!
RAMADAN!
DO ALL YOUR SHOPPING
AT WALMART!!!!
@DeadWriter: It doesn't count, because Kenny G isn't music. I don't even consider him a human, but rather an atrocious pile of sub-organic scum put on this planet as punishment for past misdeeds.
I'd rather listen to a year of this than a second of Kenny G.
omg
the accordion part after the Labor Day part was sooo funny. It sounded like it was gonna go somewhere and then someone fell down the stairs carrying a box of instruments lol
Oh God I want to kill those stupid little sh!thead kids singing the walmart parts.
holy shit. i just hit the little kids for the third time:
YOM Kippur, YOM Kippur!
TIME FOR selfREFLECTION and AtoneMENT!
I've got that damn YOM Kippur part stuck in my head now!
The holiday parts are awesome....and there's something oddly refeshing about Opera rap.....even as just a novelty.
Since when do 'Ramadan' and 'fun' rhyme? Perhaps in the Kennedy household...
I gotta say though, I'd rather listen to this than the "most wanted song"... at least this makes me shoot water out of my nose onto my keyboard.

Just hit 1:40.
HELP!
what the hell just happened? I hit 5 minutes and it sounds like me, "releasing" after a chili eating contest.
