The duo behind it, Komar and Melamid, have used data from the same survey—about the music people like the most—to compose what, the survey says, should be the best song ever. I think it's worse than the most annoying song, actually, like a South Park parody of thick 'n' syrupy Boyz II Men-style early-'90s R&B, complete with Kenny G sax, guitar solos and male/female harmonies (though the dude actually sounds like Trey Parker). It shows you what a musical genius Rick Astley truly was. And this says nothing of the lyrics. [The Most Wanted Song via Listening Post]

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]
