I’m only halfway through, but so far, this is awesome.
Wow. This is LONG…
I wonder if you wrote this at the point the banjos appeared, at which I point I was giggling like a silly child 
It was the third go-round of the “generic holiday song.” I think it was Labor Day.
That one got me, too. The kids had a particular enthusiasm for that one, for some reason! I’m on the finale now, and swaying slightly from side to side with the sheer emotion.
I checked and the “Most Wanted Song” is also available from the same site where Boyo Jim found the “Most Unwanted Song”.
This one’s much shorter, only about 5 mins:

Everyone I know who’s heard both says essentially “the bad one was awesome, the good one was much worse.” (I’m pretty sure this was essentially the point of the whole project.)
Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Wesley Willis yet: Suck a Cheetah’s Dick
At least he’s kinda funny though.
Edited to add: VERY NSFW, strong language, and you’ll burst out laughing in spite of yourself.
The “Most Wanted” song is just bland and immediately forgettable. You can buy it for 99 cents from iTunes. But to get the “Least Wanted” you have to buy the “album” containing both songs for $3.99. So in effect, the Least Wanted is 3 times as pricey. And it’s worth it.
There’s even a point where it sounds as if the vocalist is spitting, or if not actually ejecting something, then at least hocking up a lugie.
And I love the angry protestor with the megaphone – you have to get mostly to the end to hear it.
And I really love how the soprano keeps singing YAHOO every possible way it can be sung.
Great to see electronica not being bashed in this thread. It is generally not a big genre in the US and not many people like it over there. It’s more due to lack of proper marketing than anything else IMO. I love good electronica but I when it’s bad, It’s really bad.
Anyway, getting back to the subject of this thread, I would nominate:
Rap, Reggaeton and this:
What a fuckin’ insult to Pink Floyd and all rock music. Truly beyond pathetic.
Oh, and Pat Boone’s Cover version of Guns N’ Roses “Paradise City” gets an honorable mention. :dubious:
I find it interesting that a number of people have said that they hate country, but like bluegrass. That pretty much describes me as well.
I went to a bluegrass festival over the summer and the pickin’ was hot. But then a moderately talented band came on, played a couple of lackluster breakdowns, and then launched into what I can only describe as every pop-country cliche known to man, all rolled up into one big sticky ball of corn. It was Snopesian glurge set to music. The bad part was, a few people in the crowd were clamoring for this particular ditty, like you’d yell “Free Bird” at a Skynyrd concert. I had to be really clear to the people I dragged along with me that the song, in fact, sucked, to make absolutely sure they wouldn’t think I liked it.
A similar pattern followed with many of the other bands at the festival. They’d play a great classic bluegrass tune, then they’d say “This next one is on our new CD, which is on sale at that tent over thar…” and proceed to emit a string of loose bowel movements in the pop-country style. When the crowd started to head for the concession stand, back came the bluegrass.
The moment this song started I started laughing. I thought I could provide some commentary, since it’s 20 minutes long or so:
3:35: Bagpipes just explode onto the scene. I’m killing myself laughing. Question; do you think the pipers KNOW they’re participating in an attempt to make the worst song ever?
4:12: “Hey, everyone, it’s Christmastime!” Tears are rolling down my cheeks.
4:53: Eastertime! Chocolatetime! Do all your shopping at Wal-Mart!
6:00: Opera rap. I once commented, in another musical thread, that talent is context-dependent, because different talents work in different genres. My example was that you might say the Three Tenors were better singers than the Beastie Boys, but you’d probably prefer the latter to perform “Paul Revere.” Well, this song proves why.
8:32: Kids are back for Yom Kippur, but they still want to shop at Wal Mart. Oy vey, who pays retail?
9:56: The guy playing the banjo obviously doesn’t actually know how to play it. That’s kind of cheating, actually.
10:38: But with bagpipes, you can never be quite sure if the guy knows how to play or not. That’s the genius of them.
12:50: It’s Labor Day! This is getting boring.
15:52: Do you know what bagpipers walk when they play? They’re trying to get away from the noise.
20:20: Big finale!
21:06: If this woman did this whole song in one take she must have the lung power of a locomotive.
Oh yes, it has always been my dream to study in a library looking very agitated and distracted until finally losing it completely, walking up to the librarian and screaming at the top of my lungs “I LOVE JOHN CAGE AS MUCH AS ANYBODY BUT CAN YOU PLEASE TURN THIS MUSIC DOWN I CAN HARDLY HEAR MYSELF THINK!”
I’m not sure I can compete with that 20 minute monstrosity, but I present to you all, Featured Content on Myspace Sergio.
Rap/Hip-hop.
Christmas music.
Country music.
Pretty much all brands of rock these days.
How would you feel if I said I thought country sucked but western was allright.
I love Eddie Arnold, I hate Garth Brooks.
Nothing Cocorosie could ever do from now on could possibly compensate for the unmitigated shit of Japan. Seriously, what’s not to hate? Two chords. The whole song has two chords. Inane, pointless bullshit lyrics. Fake vocal stylings. Have you heard this song? In what way could this be worse? At best, I’d concede it might go down alright with the under 5 set on Sesame Street or similar (if not for the “rape” line). Pure rubbish.
What do I win?
Zamfir may actually be the worst thing ever recorded in the world. Check out how he rapes other songs. My heart will go on was glurgy in the first place, but he manages to make great songs awful.
Yeah, I’m not even sure I could articulate the difference between the two, but it’s true. It’s like ear-porn - I know it when I hear it!
Well, there’s a difference between despising a genre and just not particularly liking it. I don’t particularly *like *country. But there’s a handful of artists I like, and at least for the most part I don’t want to gouge out my eardrums if a Shania Twain song comes on the PA at Walmart. I don’t like Christian music either, but if it’s sung by Dolly Parton or Randy Travis I can enjoy it. That being said…
Christian heavy metal. If it’s not satan-worshiping, what’s the goddamned point?
Yodeling. Just sounds like someone’s in pain.
Oh god NO!
I just wish that I was ignorant of it !
Or deaf.
Or iliterate.
