Quoting from another forum:
"The Most Unwanted Song, is mesmerizing: over an accompaniment of bagpipe, tuba and accordian (statistically, America’s least favorite instruments), an operatic soprano (our least favorite type of singer) raps (ditto) about cowboys (ditto). Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid’s research indicated that the most hated lyrical subject is holidays (disliked by 33%), so the song is suitable not only for Christmas, but Easter, Labor Day, Veterans’ Day, and Halloween. These interludes are introduced abruptly by a children’s chorus (“Hey everybody, it’s Yom Kippur!”), who couple their refrains with cheerful commercial messages. By the end, the subject has shifted to human slavery and genocide. The whole thing, going on for nearly 22 minutes (the least favorite song length), is as impossible to ignore as a car crash."
I couldn't cope with it for very long, to be honest

And the Most Wanted Song (horrid!!!), so you can compare notes

| Actually, in the end I managed to listen to the worst song for a lot longer than the most wanted one. The worst one had some strange pull, when waiting to see what was coming next :^P |

I'm still listening to it. Hahaha. I'm determined to make it through. My favorite part: "Do All your shopping at Wallmart"
Least Favorite: the Operatic Soprano Rapping. I'll try the most wanted song next. :D |

Oh. Oh, my. It's just too much. Too much of everything. And all at once. It's like a musical train wreck. Or a wreck between a train, a boat, a car, a truck, and an airplane all at mixed up together.
I'm up to the Halloween part, I think. Opera with pipe organ. Scary. And it's not even half-way over. |

Okay, the Most Wanted Music sounds like watered down RnB, which makes it my most Unwanted Music automatically.
Anyway, you guys have to make it to the end, there's this big singalong chorus going on, It's kind of brilliant. Lol.

Most wanted, blahhh. Oh, by the way, you posted the Unwanted link twice, instead of the Wanted link, but that's okay, I got it from the web site. |
