Scientific attempt to create the most annoying song ever

They pulled it all in: accordion, bagpipes, tuba, rap, hokey country, bad operatic vocals, dissonance, crappy lyrics in gutteral foreign languages, bad solo's, teen cheerleading, out of tune chorus, etc. It is 20 minutes long though, so be prepared.

Actually, it might be considered "prog" in some circles.  :lol:

Think nobody surpass Whitney Houston in the song ''Loving youuuuuUUUU'' in recent years, but her band made another super bullshit afew years before, that was hideous pain, it was a ''Killing me softly with this song'' remake with rap treatment.
Thank God this fake musicians will be forgotten forever.

Just turn your TV on for a World Cup match and you will hear the Vuvuzelas humming like the cicada X in 2004.  Most annoying. :roll:

*PFFFFFFFFFTTT!!!*  Nice try, but I've heard a dozen more annoying songs before lunch today.

The kid chorus about the different holidays is kinda catchy.

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.

Oh I see, the goal is to create the MOST ANNOYING SONG EVER, but ummm, let's make it LISTENABLE.  Talk about wanting your cake and eating it too!  Sheesh!

I made it 9.5 minutes before having to stop.  The children singing about Walmart wore on me pretty fast.

What I'm taking away from this discussion is, as audiophiles we're used to listening to some music for it's sound quality, and may be somewhat used to puttin gup with less than stellar musicianship or quirky things in the quest for good sound. So maybe our "annoyance" factor is somewhat higher and we are more tolerant of this kind of stuff.

Listening to 9 minutes of this before barfing is pretty heroic in my book.

The "Most Wanted" version truly IS more annoying as they say.  But these are both too silly to be annoying.

Listen with caution, these trash songs are really bad, really rotten and annoying, can explode the patience of any normal brain.
