Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever
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.
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.
DEAR GOD. WHAT HATH SCIENCE WROUGHT?
Things that happened today
Mike and I turned 10 years old again and we’re going to build a bitching treehouse to hunt out of.
Also I’m going to play through Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 before #3 comes out.
WHY?
Do you have a connection to this aircraft?
What aircraft did you mean? I flew a couple Cessnas in school and have my license. Let me know which one and I’ll tell you what I know about it.
FUCK THE PATRIOTS.
That is all.
