A Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever
According to this article after a study was done gathering data about people’s least favorite music sensibilities, they engineered them into “a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners.”

It is pretty awful, but honestly I think that Brian McLaren’s Atheist “worship” song is worse:
The former makes me laugh. The latter makes me cry.

What’s funny is I thought about the “Atheist” song before you even brought it up.

This morning I had “Atheist” in my head… it was so wrong. But it is so bad, now, I am starting to laugh.

I get the song stuck in my head all the time, and I have heard it twice.

That song sounds like music I made on my keyboard in 8th grade. Sweet.

I saw the atheist vid on YouTube a few months ago, and made a comment on how smug it was (a la “Thank you, God, that I am not like them….”). The comment was deleted. Classy.

I hate you for reminding me of that atheist song today. AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
That IS the most annoying song ever.

The tune of the atheist song is kinda annoying, yes (though not as annoying as the ‘music that everyone hates’ one!
). But do you know about Brian McLaren’s “Everything Must CHange” campaign/series? It makes sense in that context. What about the song do you take issue with?

The song is horrible and the lyrics are contrived. Even though there isn’t anything particularly disagreeable about them, they don’t make the music any better.

I only listened to the first minute, but so far I like the most annoying song ever. Apparently it’s pretty long, though.
The song in the video…sucks.

Maybe instead of waterboarding at Guantanamo they could just play that trumpet solo from the middle of the song. That would work.
