The Most Unwanted Song in the World

[Dionysos]

I came across this. A song composed with the sole intention of being the opposite of what people want to hear. Picking the least liked instruments, least liked vocals, least liked length of song etc etc.

I'll quote the website.

The Most Unwanted Song, is mesmerizing: over an accompaniment of bagpipe, tuba and accordian (statistically, America’s least favorite instruments), an operatic soprano (our least favorite type of singer) raps (ditto) about cowboys (ditto). Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid’s research indicated that the most hated lyrical subject is holidays (disliked by 33%), so the song is suitable not only for Christmas, but Easter, Labor Day, Veterans’ Day, and Halloween. These interludes are introduced abruptly by a children’s chorus (“Hey everybody, it’s Yom Kippur!”), who couple their refrains with cheerful commercial messages. By the end, the subject has shifted to human slavery and genocide. The whole thing, going on for nearly 22 minutes (the least favorite song length), is as impossible to ignore as a car crash.

So... Here is the link to the song... http://ubu.artmob.ca/sound/komar_melamid/KomarMelamid_The-Most-UnwantedSong.mp3

See how long you last.

What are your thoughts on it?


NOTE - This is NOT another "what is your least favourite song" thread.

What the hell was that? I will never, EVER listen to accordion music in my LIFE again. That was fu*king horrible! You torturer!

pretty interesting idea. Horrible song though. But hey, it does what its meant to do

Well the idea is genius and it definitely succeeded in annoying the shit out of me.

I generally can't stand it when songs have children yelling like that. The banjo about half way through was incredibly annoying too.

Lol... The accordion I can cope with. I've heard music that incorporates accordion very well.
What gets me is the operatic rap followed by children chanting commercial messages. .
