I think Head by Island Boys is one of the funniest bad songs of all time. These 2 idiots accidentally made one of the most entertaining pieces of music I have ever heard.
The Most Unwanted Song had me fucking CRYING laughing. I want to know absolutely everything about the making of that song, I have far too many questions about it for them to go unanswered.
According to some other comments, it was made thru data analysis based on what folks said they disliked/liked the most in music Reminds me of a child captain beefheart tbh
Wolf in Sheep's Clothing is horrendusly edgy, yes, but by the sheer fact of how catchy and good the melodies are, I can't give it a zero. It feels more like the singer is playing a character rather than just being his trashy self, like Ronnie Radke for example.
Cody is just a fun guy. I think the song is trying to be super edgy, because I can't really remember the other songs on the album being this in your face about it.
The concept of good-bad VS bad-bad originated in a cinema magazine from the 60s in France, they called it "Navet Vs Nanard", basically "turnip VS funny piece of junk", the "turnip" being the bad-bad one. French have simple words for these concepts, so it's shorter to say.
We listened to the most unwanted song in my band class lunch break once and our band director could not stop laughing. Them kids casually singing about Walmart and guns had me rolling for no reason 😭
"ill never be able to hear this song the same again because ive listened to the gay remix so many times" is probably the most relateable thing Brad has ever said XD
29:49 i am ashamed to say that even without lyrics on screen, I knew the song off by heart and found myself singing in my head. i had a VERY strange phase in 2019-2021.
I think pink guy's pink season is a great example of good bad music. It's intentionally bad, and the entertainment comes from just how blatantly absurd it is
Ive totally heard those kids sing about holidays in walmart before. I wonder if this is its origins or if it was just a sample? I think your concept videos are your best because I always feel like I learn something soon.
genuinely tho, i decided to dive in and listen to a full day of merzbow and halfway it kinda clicked, makes me think this is what it sounds like inside the womb. at a certain point the music became comforting woodpecker now just scratches an itch if i need a quick fix
I unironically listen to noise music when I'm trying relax and sometimes it sends me to sleep. it's like white noise but there's enough happening to not get bored
Woodpecker is a classic. One of the coolest experiences I've ever had with music was like 5 years ago I turned off all the lights in my room, laid down, put on Pulse Demon and my entire brain turned into that texture. You imagine insane landscapes when you immerse yourself into it. It's so awesome and extreme i don't know why you didn't get anything out of it.
It tries too hard. I resist Merzbow because it feels manipulative. I don't get landscapes, I get the image of a teen on a computer. Pharmakon is way better.
@@reid3031 Nah it's awesome and disturbing music. I support teens on computers, especially if they are doing groundbreaking stuff like Merzbow has been since the 80's. Checked out Pharmakon and they sound pretty cool so thanks.
My friend and I listened to the entire merzbow "discography" one night during a call. It was quite literally a mind-numbing experience, and i have never felt more relief from silence in my life.
Rollin' is memberable because of the fact that The Undertaker and Kane came out to this theme. And even then, the song is still catchy and fun to listen too.
Another good bad song would be pink cellphone by deftones. It’s a very interesting experience and has a lot of weird parts ( especially the end ) but is a song I wouldn’t put on my playlist
I would argue that Mini Maggit is also a good bad Deftones song. Everyone dislikes it because it is a "nu-metal-ified bastardization" of Pink Maggit but it's still a fun song to listen to with pretty good lyrics, and even though the song itself on its own may not be that good, it serves very well to book-end White Pony.
@@J.PC.Designshonestly what's so bad about back to school tho? The raps aren't cringe or cookie cutter, the riffs are great, it's a good chorus. I think it's just tainted because of how it came about.
I laughed so hard at the most unwanted song part I thought I was genuinely fucking dying I knew about the song before this and so I was waiting for certain parts
Woah woah woah Merzbow’s Woodpecker No 1 is pretty good don’t be calling it bad if you don’t like Harsh Noise it really only sounds good if you like the genre
A nice example of Good Bad music is Queef Jerky, it's lyrically intentionally silly, along with some of the instrumentals, but there's genuine production and effort put into it along with some incredible instrumentals to back the songs up
I love set it off wolf in sheeps clothing lol. I was obsessed with it as an emo teen and if it comes up I’ll listen to it and sing it, idk. I like the rhythm of it. I agree the lyrics suck haha
Dave Soldier is a personal friend and would probably laugh at seeing his most & least wanted songs exposed to a new generation. He’s a brilliant and kind dude and has made music that pushes boundaries in all directions. Would recommend that anyone intrigued by his collab with Komar & Melamid dive deeper into his output. Thanks for spotlighting him!
I genuinely love Wolf In Sheeps Clothing cause I have nostalgia of typing it into the Roblox chat and “singing” for my Roblox girlfriend (I was 8 and a lesbian 😭)
I'm a deep sleeper and I used to have Merzbow as my alarm. It still didn't wake me up, but it did help because my father came in and said "Are you insane?"
on that music guessing livestream i was gonna have people guess slitherman vs nephew but i could never get in 😭 I'm glad you got to listen to it though
this is so unbelievably unrelated but during your latest stream, I missed one of my favorite songs, but you giving glass beach that much of praise literally made my entire day. I love that album so ungodly much, I have the vinyl and a tapestry above my bed. sad I missed it but fangirled the entire time as I was rewatching XD.
"The most unwanted Song" became an insider in our flat. We listen to it once every week on sunday when we clean the place together. The opera singer is just goes so hard and the increasingly faster childrens choir just does its part for our collecticr insanity.
my good bad song pick is “i took a perc” by larry croft, it’s so bad and ridiculous it scratches my head. it’s like yeat but if he watched anime and rapped aesthetically. the bad bad song i have to say is anything from demon dice. i don’t get any enjoyment out of her at all, so i hope you agree with me there
Not gonna defend Motherlover since it's easily one of their worst songs, but I can't help but think that the way Brad listens to music on here is absolutely counterproductive to actually enjoying Lonely Island (or other comedic) songs. If subtitles ruin comedy by spoiling the punchline to a joke before you actually hear it, having the entire lyric sheet in front of you is 10x worse. Also, the songs aren't usually nearly as entertaining without the accompanying music video.
They let you control the music in the dining hall of my college and one time I walked in and someone had Woodpecker playing for the full length of the song.
Including The Most Unwanted Song is kind of a copout, especially with how little fun he had with it. The whole point of the project was to survey Americans on what they love and hate in music. The 1st song, The Most Wanted Song, is insanely boring and contrived but contains all the elements of a hit song at the time, notably the length of the piece and the style. The Most Unwanted Song is 20 minutes long and has multiple child choruses, an opera singer rapping over a tuba beat, bagpipes, accordion, product placement, constant shifts in timing, multiple complete stops, and occasional bursts of random notes. It's fun as hell, and it's dumb Brad would consider it a "bad" bad song.

Genuinely, unironically, it crosses over from being awful to being incredible, avant garde and boundary pushing
@@erikdaniels0nlike some parts of it could be considered experimental. All in all an ambitious failure on every single front.
it's progressive rap. he's a demon in the sky when he looks you in your eye!
No joke tho, the instrumental they rap on is actually rlly good and well made especially since there's so many beat switches. Too bad they wasted it
@@billross9132the alien sample is still hilarious
Let's make an official rule that "Lazarus" by David Bowie should only be covered if you're about to die.
on it.
I sat through that whole 21 minute song and started crying because i felt trapped. I legit couldn't handle that song emotionally.
There is something about the way it’s mixed that makes me feel like I’ve been backed into a corner, it genuinely feels like a torture tape
It gives Being buried alive
That’s how you know it’s art- it made you feel something
The Most Unwanted Song had me fucking CRYING laughing. I want to know absolutely everything about the making of that song, I have far too many questions about it for them to go unanswered.

THIS. Like, it honestly feels like Brad is taking it too seriously, ironically enough
Agreed
legit that song has so many funny memories for me I can't hate it
Seeing Brad being broken by Unwanted Song made me lose my fucking mind. It really just never ends.
We didn’t really need all those filler songs, we’re all just here for The People’s Choice Music!
The Most Unwanted Song made me laugh my ass off several times. I loved it.
*IT'S YOM KIPPUR* @@WordoftheElderGods
I've unironically listened to the complete "most unwanted song" multiple times. just brilliant
I genuinely enjoy large sections of that track
I hadn’t heard that Unwanted Song in over a decade but the children’s choir part with random holidays pops in my head constantly

This man has introduced me to the most heinous music in existence.
omg i completely forgot about the unwanted song 😭 i discovered that song when i was in high school and it was crazy 😭
I’ve recommended the most unwanted song for the longest of time , glad to see it get a reaction
37:04 Love how streaming brad agreed with editing Brad that he got the point
I think the most unwanted song section is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time
bro seeing people just not like set it off makes me realize how little people actually like their weird lyrics
I used to like their song Partners in Crime bc it sounded like an edgy team rocket otherwise hard pass
SAMEEE @@Quesoquantum

“We Wanted Change” is my go-to track when I want to annoy my kids, I love it
actual torture.

On the Prowl changed my life
Its always going to be a good video when Brad starts the video saying he forgot to record
It’s always going to be a good video when Brad starts the video
Brad never fails to make my life a videogame 😁
Brad never fails to try hard to beat the stage
brad never fails at collecting coins.
i'm so happy brad finally had to sit through the most unwanted song, i wanted to send it in as a song request but i also want to afford rent and food
Bro what you talking about Woodpecker #1 is the best thing to listen while studying. I love the whole album when I sleep. So peaceful. 😊😊
genuinely tho, i decided to dive in and listen to a full day of merzbow and halfway it kinda clicked, makes me think this is what it sounds like inside the womb. at a certain point the music became comforting
woodpecker now just scratches an itch if i need a quick fix
I unironically listen to noise music when I'm trying relax and sometimes it sends me to sleep. it's like white noise but there's enough happening to not get bored
watching brad protest whenever he hears that simpsons hit and run incidental music ass beat over and over again doesn't get old

OMG unwanted song is actually the funniest thing ive experienced on youtube
I feel like the most Unwanted Song is Freiza's personal hellscape in song form
bad day for first of october enjoyers
We need him to react to a full album of theirs
Man, this whole video was such a trip. Your cut-ins where future Brad interacts with past Brad to sing over the copywritten songs were GOLDEN.
My friend and I listened to the entire merzbow "discography" one night during a call. It was quite literally a mind-numbing experience, and i have never felt more relief from silence in my life.
Everytime somebody listens to merzbow and assumes it’s representative of all noise music i cry a lil bit
It's like listening to Rings of Saturn as your first metal band lol
Rollin' is memberable because of the fact that The Undertaker and Kane came out to this theme. And even then, the song is still catchy and fun to listen too.
MOST UNWANTED SONG MENTIONED 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 DO YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING AT WALMART
brads version of dance monkey was genuinely way more listenable than the original
Brad called Whats Up one of the greatest songs of all time? Brad closeted lesbian confirmed

The most unwanted song was fucking hilarious!
Good-Bad: The Left Rights - I'M ON CRACK
Bad-Bad: The Left Rights - I'M ON CRACK
Brads pop champagne cover is spot on
good mothering x bad mothering
Andrew and Rob’s 12-hour challenges are good with the context of what they had to do with such limited time and and infinite resources.

like if you covered it it would just fix the song
