The Most Unwanted Music

edit: I challenge anyone to listen to the whole "song". :D It's killing me.

The most unwanted music is over 25 minutes long, veers wildly between loud and quiet sections, between fast and slow tempos, and features timbres of extremely high and low pitch, with each dichotomy presented in abrupt transition. The most unwanted orchestra was determined to be large, and features the accordion and bagpipe (which tie at 13% as the most unwanted instrument), banjo, flute, tuba, harp, organ, synthesizer (the only instrument that appears in both the most wanted and most unwanted ensembles). An operatic soprano raps and sings atonal music, advertising jingles, political slogans, and "elevator" music, and a children's choir sings jingles and holiday songs. The most unwanted subjects for lyrics are cowboys and holidays, and the most unwanted listening circumstances are involuntary exposure to commercials and elevator music. Therefore, it can be shown that if there is no covariance--someone who dislikes bagpipes is as likely to hate elevator music as someone who despises the organ, for example--fewer than 200 individuals of the world's total population would enjoy this piece.

What?

Hey man, I've got to get back to Meddle.

You're harshing my buzz, man.

Reminds of of Mr. Bungle.

Still better than the mariachi crap the lowriders and pimped-out Escalades around here love to blast at ear-splitting volume regularly.

Thanks for sharing though - next time the neighbors piss me off I'm setting that to loop play, turning the volume up to "11" and leaving for the weekend.

I listened while I replied to my emails for the morning. The music made me laugh a few times but overall ya, its pretty bad. I hear Britney Speers is doing a cover.

I dunno - I really don't want to download a 30mb file that is labelled as the worst song. But can someone tell me - is it worse than The Macarena?!? :eek:

-Z-man.

I like the "Christmas time, Christmas time, we're going shopping (beat) (beat) (beat) at WALMART!!!!" part. SmileWavy

They were great, still have a Mr. Bungle big top t-shirt.

Weren't Iraqi prisoners tortured with the Sesame Street theme song? I don't know where I read that or saw it, but they played the theme music 24/7 very loudly - the same song over and over.
