The worst music ever.

Some guy walked up to me on the street and a handed me a cd of his stuff. It's godawful.

I don't know if it's supposed to be a joke or what. But with the advent of cheap recording technology, people nowadays can get anything on a recording.

Hell Is That Noise...

sage

...

Uh...

avant-garde masterpiece

The scales that go upwards are actually kind of catchy, aren't they.

dundundundundundunduun.

It's not that bad... in a Shaggs-ish sort of way.

This is hilarious.

I...what.

I think that even my largest detractors would agree, even I'm not that bad.

That was... Unique.

It was amusing at first, but it got really boring halfway through. It was so bad that I wanted to hear the whole thing out of curiosity, and yet so boring that I wanted to skip through the uninteresting parts.

This guy needs to improve his songwriting abilities, maybe including a tone-deaf rapping opera singer and some br00tal breakdowns to keep things interesting. Instead of trying to improve his writing and make something both interesting and hilarious, he stuck with one mildly humourous idea for the whole song and made it excruciatingly dull. What a shame.

Quickly guys! We need to find out this guy's name and address so the entire internet can make his life a living hell!

(if I have to point out that I'm being sarcastic, I will scream)

This reminds me, I was given a CD by a guy on the street a few months ago, but never listened to it. I suppose that I shall listen to it now, FOR SCIENCE.

It is apparently called "ITS TIME TO GET SERIOUS" by a band called Mystic Orange.

EDIT: Huh, instrumental of the first song sounds like Wesley Willis covering Tainted Love, with a bunch of people who can't sing singing in harmony over the top of it and occasionally a guy with a vaguely New York-ish accent going on about a woman giving you her intestines.

... what.

Second song, and the guy with the New York-ish accent is back! It's not a New York accent though. I'm not sure what accent it is. MYSTERY ACCENTS. This time he's talking about Hare Krishna over budget synths, and occasionally the people who can't sing come back in. Except, on this track, it's apparent that the one woman singing can actually sing rather well, she's just way lower in the mix than the male voices, none of whom have a particularly good voice.

It's like I'm trapped in some kind of 90s Hare Krishna educational computer program.

Maybe the proliferation of Auto-Tune is a good thing after all.

It's now apparent that this entire CD is pretty much some guy making generic-o music on cheapo synths while this guy rambles on and on about Hare Krishna.

The guy's now talking about New York - it must be a New York accent he has!

Yeah, this has gone down from "barely legitimate thing resembling a song with a guy occasionally talking over it" in the first track and has now become "dude talking about Hare Krishna over a backing track"

Oh wait, this is a cool little ambient bit— and wait, there's the New York guy ruining everything again :<

EDIT: finally, a track where the female vocalist gets to sing by herself... and she's still too low in the mix. And it's still mainly this guy going on and on.

onto the last track now, and this is ew. Not good

Sunshine, after you're done, MEDIAFIRE

The last track is horrible but is stuck in my head now D: GET IT OUT.

I will rip it and mediafire it now, should you so wish

Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, ITS TIME TO GET SERIOUS, by Mystic Orange. Correctly tagged and everything.

btw Litis, I love that comic your avatar is from

I think it would actually be funny to do the opposite - i.e. heap loads of unexpected praise upon him. That's something Improv Everywhere might do. What you describe is something 4chan would do.

The stuff about "The Most Unwanted Song" earlier made me realise, I think it would be pretty fun if we all tried to make our own deliberately shitty albums. We could even have a Troper Covens thread dedicated to it.

Would anyone else be up for this?

@Lordnecronus Actually, I'm already making one, and it's two years in the making (mostly because of laziness, because the songs (or 'tracks', since many songs aren't really songs after all) are quite easy to create).

It sounds like circus music from Hell. But it's still better than Rebecca Black's Friday.

Also, Wesley Willis covering Tainted Love actually sounds like a good thing. His cover of Amie is possibly better than than original.

And what I think would be the worst song ever: a sixty minute song consisting of nothing but the same ten-second loop and the artist saying "Yeah" and "Uh-huh". The song never actually begins and the song ends abruptly. And it would be split into ten tracks titled "Yeah", "Yeah 2", "Yeah 3", "Uh-Huh", "Uh-Huh 2", "Yeah 6", "Uh-Huh 3", "Yeah 9", "Yeah 8" and "Uh-Huh 11".

I could apply Gratuitous Reverb if we did that.

My band had two side-projects devoted exclusively to failing at creating music; results have varied.

As far as I can recall, the entirety of the experimental/industrial group Vagina Dentata Organ's The Great Masturbator is just someone ringing a bell for fifty-eight minutes.

I forgot to mention: this would be a mainstream rap album with radio airplay.
