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.

You can download the song at the bottom of the article..<shudder>

And thereby dislodge "Afternoon Delight" from its throne? NEVER!

can't imagine anything more annoying than "Bohemian Rhapsody" (even "Hallelujah")!

The extensive use of free reed instruments throughout just about says it all.

Meh. Nothing I haven't already heard from They Might Be Giants...

I kind of like the recurring kids' verse:
"Ramadan, Ramadan lots of praying, with no breakfast!
Ramadan, so much fun. Do all yer shopping.... at WALMART!"

The most annoying song ever -- and possibly the most dangerous brain worm ever let loose on an unsuspecting world -- in playing evrery damn night on several channels.

F-R-E-E, that spells "free"

If you've heard it even once, just reading the above will trigger the most insidious of brain worms and will start you screaming for your Partridge Family CDs to get rid of it.
