Yes, I am aware this isn't exactly new (April '08) but it's new to me.

Overpowered by funk. Wait till the second "verse" if you have never heard of opera rap.

Quote:

Amazingly, this "most unwanted music" contains little dissonance -- that would have been too easy. For the most part, they seem to have tried to assemble these elements in a listenable way.

Komar & Melamid and David Soldier's list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children's chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. It's actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone. (We didn't think that was possible either.)



I warn you folks that the song is relatively long.

I actually enjoyed the song, for me it was considerably less irritating than say, listening to very fast recordings of Morse code or talking with a teenager.
