Scientifically most annoying song in the world

MP3: Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever | Listening Post from Wired.com

Quote:

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. (We didn't think that was possible either.)

What more is there to add? Except that I would replace Scientifically with Statistically..

And damn, some parts really make your ears bleed.

Add some Ja Rule and Soulja Boy freestyles on the remix, now were talking.

 

[Bradan]

lmao, I kinda liked it, reminiscent of Beck's The Information

I can honestly say that I listened to the whole thing.

Now I want to die.

LOL

I thought it would be something from Kraftwerk. They have (IMHO) some of the most annoying music pieces I have ever heard.

Demetrio.

but just happen to be the most influential, whats does that tell us...

 

[Currawong]

I thought "Chumbawumba" was the most annoying music ever made, or William Shatner's early work.

 

[userlander]

wow, that is annoying.

I couldn't make it past the cowboy music and opera singing part -- it doesn't get much worse than that.

 

[dunnowho]

i gave up just after 1 minute.

 

[Weimar]

Of course, this is much worse: YouTube - Black Out - Video Games

I listened to the whole thing. And didn't entirely hate it... I actually liked it, especially for the concept. Reminds me of Captain Beefheart or The Residents; I'd think they'd also delight in assembling music composed of what people said they didn't want to hear.

The first minute would make a great score to some western movie.

The rest of it isn't annoying imo-- not too enjoyable, but listenable.
Some of it is pretty funny too.

Has anybody ever heard the hamster dance? I warn you in advance - this track will drill itself into your head and you will never forget it.

Original from when it was popular The Hamster Dance - Tons Of Hamsters Dancing

A techno remix.

ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

Bury it in a time capsule, then when the human race is gone and some alien digs it up he will know what killed us.

I disagree. The Hamster Dance has nothing on this meme.
