Poll: The most unwanted song in the world.

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.

Anybody feeling particularly masochistic? I sure was and it turned out to be pretty interesting.

Alright, let's do this.

I listened to most of it, and then had to gouge out my ears.

That song is liked being kicked in the nuts while listening to a guy talk about having sex with your sister. With illustrations.

Honestly I didnt think it would be this horrible.

I shut it down after a few minutes this is just an abomination I would only consider it one thing.

A pile of horse shit.

This could very well be the single greatest, most useless thing to stem from research that has ever been done. Ever.

I'm laughing my ass off right now! Amazing!

 

[Azure-Supernova]

It's a little slow starting ain't it? I couldn't get into it to be honest... wonder why.

 

[voidfalcon]

soprano rappers? awesome!

 

[SoulSalmon]

It's umm... actually not that 'bad', I'd listen to this over some other 'music'... REALLY not my style though >.>

 

[Drakmeire]

sad thing is that I've heard symphonic rap before and it was kind of awesome

I've heard most of that song (I learned about it years ago and use it to bother my friends) but I like it better than this

Who invited the jackass who keeps screaming at everyone? I'm trying to make a terrible R&B song dammit!!

 

[AhumbleKnight]

Better than normal rap ^^

It could pass as background music. I recon through it into a party mix when you have people over. See how long it takes for somebody to notice.

I'm listening to it while writing this, and it's painful. I get that really uncomfortable tingling sensation in my ears, like the one you feel on your head if you think something like a spider is above you.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I just listened to all of that.

Should I seek a doctor?

That song was amazing! Do you know of anything else like it?

 

[Salty Weasel]

How can people not like bagpipes and accordions? They're some of my favorite instruments. Overall the only really annoying part of the song is the kids.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Every instrument can be used in interesting and awesome ways, if you know how.
But I just didn't get into this song, at all. :S

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Not horrible, but I don't really like it. The main problem isn't the instruments, its how they really didn't make any attempt to work them together. They just kind of fought against each other. As for the singing it was okay but not to my taste.

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

This was hilarious and awesome -- although I did feel compelled to get up and grab a beer halfway through, so you could say that it was so bad that it drove me to drink

*hums along* Do all our shopping -- AT WALMART!!!

Also, I was playing the beer bottle by the last part of the song. For some weird reason, the empty bottle was in the same key as the song.

 

[hittite]

Meh, I've heard worse. Not many, mind you, but there have definitely been worse. Like, say,

About half way through, I really wanted to just stop it, unfortunately, I've stated many times in the past that I'll listen to any music at least once. I may need to change this policy.

The fact that stuff like this can exist pretty much cements my love for the world.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Why the hate for Tubas and Bagpipes? They can sound pretty cool.
Accordions, on the other hand...

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

Yeah it's pretty horrible, but do 22 minutes of a baby crying and most people will off themselves.
