chumble spuzz Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 A new genre is born? http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/04/a-scientific-at.html edit: maybe a quote from the page would be nice. "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 as unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners."

Xeiros Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 This song is bitchin. You gotta dig that opera rapping? Quote
Dhsu Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 This sounds like the ideal contestant for Song of The Week. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 at my office, we had a pool going to see who could last the longest. I dropped out after the first appearance for the bagpipes. One of the other graphic designers made it all the way but can't stop giggling maniacally, even an hour later. We might have broken him. :/ I have to say this is a winner of a song. Quote
AMT Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 As soon as I can deduce which part I was laughing the hardest at this will become my new ringtone. Parts of this sound like Cheap Cheap the Chicken from Parappa the Rapper rapping to Earthbound music, and that's actually not a bad thing. Quote
Gollgagh Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 ... did those kids just say "rocket whore" Quote
Bahamut Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I'm surprised that there isn't any hardcore punk so far. Quote
PhiJayy Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 This is almost phenomenal. How do you mix all of these annoying jingles and instruments? "Wal-Mart jingles, cowboy music, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas much more." I don't know if I should laugh or be amazed by it. This is quite funny. The kids shouting those remarks was hysterical. Opera rapping? Hahaahahahah. I'm bookmarking this. Quote
djpretzel Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I was far more bored than annoyed, to be honest... Then again, I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder... Quote
Lemonectric Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I listened to the whole thing. You can never get enough Wal-Mart. I probably would have been bored, had I not been doing other things at the same time. Quote
Gollgagh Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I was far more bored than annoyed, to be honest...Then again, I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder... This ended up true for me as well. I guess people like the judges would have built up an immunity to it. iffn ya knows what I means Quote
Synius Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I found it interesting actually... I guess because I had my mind set on what I expected it to sound like, and it was completely different. Quote
chumble spuzz Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 at my office, we had a pool going to see who could last the longest. I dropped out after the first appearance for the bagpipes. One of the other graphic designers made it all the way but can't stop giggling maniacally, even an hour later. We might have broken him. :/ I made it through the whole thing, and I cried tears of laughter. Children screaming about Yom Kippur and Wal Mart is apparently hilarious to me. Then again, I do have Banjo-Kazooie music in my iTunes... Quote
JH Sounds Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I managed to make it all the way through, but then again I listen to Daft Punk. Quote
DragonFireKai Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I can't honestly say I'm one of the 200 people, but it's not as bad as Metal Machine Music. Quote
FR Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks for ruining my day Chumble spuzz. The rocket whore part was by far the funniest part. Quote
Shadow Wolf Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 It makes me mad in my head. Seriously, this is like M*A*S*H* meets green acres meets spaghetti western meets Braveheart meets disney meets every other vomit inducing cliche in history. Great work. Quote
FlagshipAmadeus Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 It sounds better than 90% of what I hear on the radio these days Quote
ILLiterate Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I found it interesting actually... I guess because I had my mind set on what I expected it to sound like, and it was completely different. Same here, a lot of fun trying to guess what was coming Quote
MechaFone Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Bwahahah I could listen to this all day. My wife, however, is begging me!....*cough* to cut the song off. She made it to 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Ohhh well. Quote
PhiJayy Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 It sounds better than 90% of what I hear on the radio these days True. There use to be a time when I listened to the radio, those days are all gone. I mean unless you have satellite radio, sometimes even the stuff they play sucks. Now this is irony how can "The Most Annoying Song Ever" be better than radio air-play, but than again it's really not annoying to me. It's just down-right hilarious. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 You know... I actually like this. It's weird, downright bizarre, but actually pretty cool. I'm genuinely enjoying listening to this. Quote
Abbsense Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 They also made the Most Wanted Song if you would like to contrast your tastes. http://ubu.artmob.ca/sound/komar_melamid/KomarMelamid_The-Most-Wanted-Song.mp3 I think most people hate it more than the other. Quote
