The Most Unwanted Music

[Gurn Blanston]

Oh, it's the paulb game all over again, isn't it?

Well, I like (and think well of) both the Boléro and the 1812 Solemn Overture, and would sooner listen to either of these than to the Mahler Tenth.

Tchah! 

Agreed. Although I AM awfully fond of the bagpipes and musette.

[Brian]

This is the most hilarious thing I have heard in months.  I'm on the Easter children's song with Wal-Mart ... tears are welling up in my eyes ... I'm trying to do homework but everytime the bagpipes come in I end up convulsing with laughter!

[Brian]

Okay, the organ is kind of annoying.

The final chorale is awesome. I'm saving this to my iPod.

Isn't it great!  It's like an overblown film soundtrack to some weird, cheesy Western, ending in "a burst of radiance."  It's weird: for music designed to annoy, the thing is oddly endearing.

I bet it sounds like the Residents.

I honestly think P.D.Q. Bach is looking like an amateur at this point.

Oh, you'd best not say that within eight clicks of Hoople, Sir!

Now that you mention it...there is some resemblance.

I actually intended to dip into it just for a few minutes, but couldn't stop listening (and laughing) until the end.  Now I have to check out The Most Wanted Song to see what that is about.

It's not half as good bad interesting, at least in my estimation. 

[Guido]

Is the Most Wanted song online too?

EDIT: I just found it on itunes.

I think the last few minutes were, really, REALLY torturous..... the elevator music and then the stuff that sounds like music from church plays.
Before that, I found it to be funny, interesting quirky..... "Do all your shopping at..... Wal-Mart!" 

Like a modern day Schnittke......

I don't know, smooth jazz is still worse

[LVB_opus.125]

After reading so many comments, I felt that this idea may have had potential. Sometimes music written to purposely clear a room can have a lot of merit to the initiated. However, I couldn't get past the part when the singing first starts. It just sounded embarrassing. Maybe that's the point, but I'll put Richard Strauss back on.

My dad listens to that stuff. He finds it relaxing. The good thing is that at least they use (much more) than 3 note melodies all the time. The bad thing is that is ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHGHHHHHHHH has no life in it!!!

You know, it sounds so light, airy and fancy-free, but you have to figure the people who make that noise are really f*cking evil.

It was actually an old scheme by Ubloobideega to establish a musical style that puts people to sleep so he can eat their souls when they aren't looking. But not many people like it, so he just gave up...... and the people who still do it are the souls that he threw up because they tasted painfully boring.

It just "shows to go," you can make music out of just about anything. (Disclaimer: I haven't yet heard it. )

This piece is halarious!  Chocolate time!     

So after this, who's down for Menuhin's complete Beethoven symphony cycle?

You'll laugh, you'll cry...
