Some douche rolled up next to me at a light in his slammed pick up with the 20" chrome wheels. Then proceeded to annoy everyone within a 50 yard radius with his fucking hooptie stereo. The song has to be the most irritating song I’ve ever heard in my life. It actually made me angry. The beat is slow but the singing is uniquely distinct. I think it’s a dude and he is whaling in a shrill faux crying effect all in the key of screaming fish wife. The lyrics are indiscernible to me but the verses pause long enough for him to take another breath before he resumes the shrill crying.
I woke up with it in my head last night and it’s plagued my brain ever since.
Anybody care to take a guess at the weapon of auditory assault?
ETA: the phrase “the key of screaming fish wife” made me Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there and got me yelled at on headset (because we were in the middle of a rehearsal)!
It’s not an exaggeration when I say the “singing” is really more of a sustained and repeated shrill crying - catch in the voice and all. Music is minimal. Just a simple beat.
Could it be “Wordless Chorus” by My Morning Jacket? (go to three minutes in where the real crying starts). Not really the sort of thing you’d blast out to the general public though, I quite like it, I have it on my grooveshark playlist somewhere.
A song by Aerosmith comes to mind but it was one of their hits so you’d probably already know it. Don’t know the title but the refrain is “I miss you baby and I don’t want to miss a thing”. Blew several radios to smithereens with a shotgun when I heard it come on. Scared the hell out of the kids but it was worth it.
From WAAAAY out in left field: “The Host of Seraphim,” by Dead Can Dance. From “The Mist” soundtrack. Your use of “ululation” made me think of it. Not much of a beat, though.
Rap would be the closest fit. I wish I could provide more details than that. Like I said, the lyrics were incomprehensible but unique in the crying hysterics.
At the risk of profiling, the guy in the pickup was white, late 20’s, full sleeve tats, pierced ears. Busy looking around to see who was noticing him being a dick.
