Has anyone ever heard of "The most unwanted song ever?", its a 25 minute composition two Russian guys made after doing a survey to see what sounds and types of music people find the most annoying. There is also a version which is done in the opposite and made up of the most popular pleasant sounds.

Here's the song if you want to listen to it:

It features a bagpipe solo, a mix between country and rap with a Opera singer doing vocals.

oh cool you found the song. yeah I actually livejournaled about this when I heard it on This American Life or TED. the most appealing is some cheesy r&b song.

yeah I dunno, I think they could have been more creative with it. the opera rap is pretty good, but what's up with the beginning? I think the stuff my neighbors listen to is at least as annoying as this. actually I think I will place a microphone just inside my doorway and record for 24 hours or a week and cut out the hours of silence.

if you guys seriously think the rap opera was good you have absolutely shit taste.

I'm not even kidding I had to skip ahead in the podcast when I heard it. it's that same jokerap shit that's permeated internet nerds for some time now. it was easily the most annoying part of the song.

if you really like this go download Captain Dan and MC Chris and never post in any hiphop thread ever.

the rap opera at the beginning was pretty bad but the opera + accordion created a cool atmosphere

Ha! This song isn't so bad. Rone Rivendale's music is much worse.

Jeeze, almost fell off the chair when the "Yom Kippur" chant started... and the opera rapping reminds me of Green Jelly.

I think the Most Wanted song is a lot funnier

and I think that's the exact point that the most unwanted song is actually enjoyable while the most wanted song is kind of nauseating

also this has been posted before I think (good chance this place is where I heard of it the first time)

The most wanted song is kinda pleasant in a really bland way, it's just a typical R&B singer with some lounge music playing.

I mean shit why not seriously

obviously the rap in this song is terrible but that would be so amazing if they like made a rap opera that wasn't ironic or anything you know it actually had real music that people would listen to in it. shit I would watch an urban opera

HELLZ YEA!!!

did that opera bitch say something about philosophy? i couldn't make it out. hopefully the first serious opera rapper will rap more distinguishably.

Django only had one finger,its as big as four cats, and hes got a retractable leg so he can leap up at you better and you know what?He lights up at night, and hes got four ears.Two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears,and his claws are as big as cups and for some reason hes got a tremendous fear of stamps and Mrs Doyle was tellin me that hes got magnets on his tail so if youre made out of metal he can attach himself to you,and instead of a mouth its got four arses

man are you kidding.

do you really not know.

addressing WC but REALLY? aren't you just talking about...a rap concept album? of which there are plenty? or do you really want one with sets in which case why, that would be cheesy shit. even something like gutterfly would probably suck as theater.
