MP3: 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.
It stretches the boundaries of what I would call a “songâ€, being 20 minutes long and the individual parts often have no musical relationship. It reminds me of one of those Halloween sound effects CDs but with accordion, opera rap and tuba.
The individual parts isolated often aren’t that bad, but as a whole it’s definitely a drag to listen to.

Heh, I kinda liked most of it but those kids singing about Walmart really start getting on my tits after the 7th or 8th repeat.
Still, it’s nowhere near as annoying as their attempt to create the most enjoyable song ever:

I couldn’t even get right through that one.

I actually loved the song.
On the other side, the “most wanted song” is really terrible.
