Nice try, but it could be so much worse

Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever | Wired.com

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.

The first 2 minutes aren't so bad. I made to about minute 7 before I had had enough. The clip runs 14 minutes in toto.

As bad as it is, it's no Walking on Sunshine. Or We Built This City. Or The Conga Song. If you want to hear the sound of angels weeping, just clickie on the links.

It's no free jazz. Ain't nothing more irritating than free jazz.
