"The Most Unwanted Song" is an avant-garde novelty song created by artists Komar and Melamid and composer Dave Soldier in 1997. The song was written to incorporate lyrical and musical elements that were disliked by most respondents to a poll, including bagpipes, cowboy music, an opera singer rapping, and a children's choir that urged listeners to "do all [their] shopping at Walmart!"[1][2]

Asked by an art gallery owner to make a CD for him, Komar and Melamid approached American neuroscientist and musician David Sulzer (known in his musical career as Dave Soldier), with whom they were working on the opera Naked Revolution for The Kitchen in Manhattan. Soldier suggested adapting the concept of The People's Choice painting series to music, to be titled The People's Choice: Music. This project again used the opinions of the public, as measured by polling surveys, to determine which elements of the medium were "most" or "least wanted". The polls were written by Soldier and taken via the Dia Art Foundation in the spring of 1996.[1][3]

The online survey of approximately 500 Dia visitors and participators revealed that the themes, instruments and other musical and lyrical aspects that people least wanted to hear included cowboy music, bagpipes, accordions, opera, rapping, children's voices, tubas, drum machines, and advertising jingles. The artists then incorporated all of these elements into "The Most Unwanted Song", which lasts almost twenty-two minutes as recorded.[7]

Soldier wrote "The Most Unwanted Song" and its companion "The Most Wanted Song" with lyricist Nina Mankin. They debuted the songs at a 1997 performance in New York with soprano Dina Emerson, a large ensemble conducted by Norman Yamada, and a children's choir; Soldier played banjo, while Komar and Melamid jointly played a bass drum.[7]

"The Most Unwanted Song" and "The Most Wanted Song" were performed live for the first time since 1997 at a concert to mark the fifteenth anniversary of the Manhattan arts venue (Le) Poisson Rouge in June 2023, alongside other works by Soldier.[8]

Musically, "The Most Unwanted Song" veers suddenly and frequently between drum machine and tuba-driven hip hop, atonal harp and organ interludes, bagpipes, "elevator music", polka, and country, interspersed or simultaneously with numerous segments of dissonant free improvisation which Soldier terms "slams".[2]

For The People's Choice: Music CD, "The Most Unwanted Song" was paired with "The Most Wanted Song", which incorporated the musical elements that were "wanted" by listeners according to the surveys. Instruments such as saxophone, electric guitar, bass, piano and drums, and lyrics about love were "most wanted" by the survey respondents, and are thus included in the "Celine Dion-esque" song, whose duration of approximately five minutes was also the "most wanted" according to the poll.[10] The only instrument to appear on both songs is the synthesizer.[11] Furthermore, since "intellectual stimulation" was voted both wanted and unwanted, Wittgenstein is mentioned in both songs as an inside joke.[9] The vocals for "The Most Wanted Song" were provided by Ada Dyer and Ronnie Gent; Vernon Reid of Living Colour is featured on electric guitar and provides a solo.[3]

Ironically, many critics preferred "The Most Unwanted Song" over "The Most Wanted Song". Eliot Van Buskirk of Wired considered "The Most Wanted Song" "horrible" and "a way rougher listen" than "The Most Unwanted Song".[12] Jordie Yow of The Tyee felt that "all of the elements [of the song] mish-mashed together into something bland, boring and completely terrible", and preferred "The Most Unwanted Song".[13] Sarah Vowell of Salon wrote that she did not "want to be seen as a flaming contrarian apologist" for preferring "The Most Unwanted Song".[11]


Last month, we posted a scientific attempt to create the most annoying song ever, but "Most Unwanted Music" was only half of the equation. Using the same survey data, Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier also put together "Most Wanted Music."


 The People's Choice Music

 1997

 with Komar & Melamid

 

 From a poll of American musical preferences in 1996, lyrics by Nina Mankin, music by Dave Soldier. Komar and Melamid were making paintings determined by national surveys. I wrote the survey and wrote the Most Wanted Song and the Most Unwanted Song. See portions of the survey, or buy the CD and see them all displayed.

This survey confirms the hypothesis that today's popular music indeed provides an accurate estimate of the wishes of the vox populi. The most favored ensemble, determined from a rating by participants of their favorite instruments in combination, comprises a moderately sized group (three to ten instruments) consisting of guitar, piano, saxophone, bass, drums, violin, cello, synthesizer, with low male and female vocals singing in rock/r&b style. The favorite lyrics narrate a love story, and the favorite listening circumstance is at home. The only feature in lyric subjects that occurs in both most wanted and unwanted categories is "intellectual stimulation." Most participants desire music of moderate duration (approximately 5 minutes), moderate pitch range, moderate tempo, and moderate to loud volume, and display a profound dislike of the alternatives. If the survey provides an accurate analysis of these factors for the population, and assuming that the preference for each factor follows a Gaussian (i.e. bell-curve) distribution, the combination of these qualities, even to the point of sensory overload and stylistic discohesion, will result in a musical work that will be unavoidably and uncontrollably "liked" by 72 plus or minus 12% (standard deviation; Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic) of listeners.

Here are scores for two fractal pieces for trombone and two guitars, Fractal on the Name of Haydn and Fractal on the Name of Bach and there is a solo piano version on the Scores page. The most straightforward is the Fractal Varation in "The Essential Quartet" (Scores page) which is easier to follow and is equivlanet to a Koch snowflake.

"2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" (sometimes called "Gangsta Party") is the second single from American rapper 2Pac's fifth studio album All Eyez on Me. The song was a duet sung by 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. It was released as a promotional single and was written by 2Pac, Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger.

It is sometimes referred to as "Gangsta Party" because of the line ain't nuthin but a gangsta party in the chorus. The song was also featured on 2Pac's Greatest Hits in 1998 and a remix of the song was featured on the album Nu-Mixx Klazzics in 2003.

But democracy can be fraught. The most-wanted painting Komar & Melamid eventually unveiled at the Alternative Museum in Manhattan in 1994 is about as damning an indictment of art-making by committee as anyone has ever devised. It looks like a rushed Hudson River School canvas that had been touched up by Thomas Kinkade.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted continues to be one of the most pivotal rap albums to ever impact the musical landscape, and while its creator has turned over many new leaves in life, he will forever hold a spot as "That nigga they love to hate."

While poor Kermit is trying to convince his guard Nadya (Tina Fey) that he's a framed frog and keep on the good side of fellow inmates played by, among others, Ray Liotta, Danny Trejo, and Jemaine Clement, Constantine is working with Dominic on their endgame, stealing The Crown Jewels while using The Muppets tour as a cover. Essentially just to get the gang to a number of fun locales (and allow for endless stream of cameos from the likes of Salma Hayek, Christoph Waltz, Chloe Grace Moretz, Saoirse Ronan, and dozens more), the items needed to lift the jewels are spread out around Europe. As more of the Muppets start to wonder at Constantine/Kermit's odd behavior, Sam Eagle and an Interpol agent named Jean Pierre Napoleon (an inspired Ty Burrell) track the crimes being left in their wake. In the screenwriters' most egregious error, we spend more time with Constantine than any of the classic Muppets, and I longed for someone to root for other than Kermit in a Siberian prison. It would have been so much smarter to have Walter, a solid new hero from the last film, figure out the deception immediately and then work to unveil it for everyone else.

While it doesn't help that "Muppets Most Wanted" is an unacceptable 112 minutes long, I must admit that it's never gratingly bad. It's not as creatively bankrupt as the worst family films as the creators still have that anything-for-a-laugh aesthetic that demands you only wait a few seconds between jokes. At its best, it captures the show's often-manic pace, shuffling one bit off the stage as the next one starts up. There are laughs here and there but The Muppets haven't been one of our most enduring franchises thanks to films that can be labeled little more than sporadically entertaining.

The Bomb Squad's style was perfect for Cube's fury on the title track, which shows how well the two worked together. They brought out some of his best and most inventive lyricism; his rhyming was sharper here than it had been on Straight Outta Compton, even. This is a quintessential Bomb Squad production. The horn stabs and drum patterns stick with me to this day. It doesn't feel like Cube was just taking beats that Chuck D didn't want. "What They Hittin' Foe?" is one of Cube's best story raps. He puts you right in the middle of a craps circle.

"You Can't Fade Me" is the story of a hookup gone very wrong. Another one of Cube's best story raps and it is definitely "problematic" by 2020s standards. Cube could be funny and disturbing all in the same song. Songs like "...Fade Me" laid the blueprint for revenge-slanted songs we'd see from artists like Eminem. And "Once Upon A Time In the Projects," yet another classic story rap, is further evidence that early Ice Cube would've been trending on social media every time he dropped anything. Cube doesn't need a video to paint the picture. His songs are like a good book; there's plenty of details, but you can fill in the rest. e24fc04721
