We're pretty sure we've linked to this before, but we have to do it again. This is the most unliked song in the world. Based on a survey of 200 people, Dave Solder figured out the features of songs that people liked the least, and then made a 25-minute opus containing them all. It includes kids singing jingles, bagpipes, and an opera singer rapping and singing operatically. Listen to the whole thing here. Make sure you make it as far as the rapping. The problem is, of course, that while aurally annoying, the song is hilarious, forcing you to listen to the whole thing.

Listen.
