Walking across the blogosphere today, my dear sister Karyn found this link on wired.com about the scientific attempt to create the worst song in the world. Paraphrasing:
[The] list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children’s chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more.
So I dared to listen. And honestly? It was so bad it was good. We listened to all twenty-something minutes of it, and I laughed so hard I probably passed out. The best part was where they were talking about Ramadan and going to Wal-Mart. I challenge you to listen – it’s worth it.
Also of note is that these gentlemen also produced the best song ever…which is pretty awful in comparison to the worst song.
So, BLAGsters, what is your least favorite song? The one that makes you want to take an AK-47 to a field of bunnies? For me, it’s Linkin Park’s “In The End.” I’ll leave this one open for discussion, though.
The driving song from Driving Miss Daisy stayed in my brain for a month before I was able to sort of wipe it away.
Unfortunately, all I have to do is think of Morgan Freeman (now why would I do that?) and the song keeps repeating like cucumber salad.
This song is just too long…nothing will stick because there is so much to hate.
Normally I would say “Small World” because of how it gets stuck in your head. But right now I can only think of “Wild Thing.”
