The Most Wanted Song

created by jjgifford

A blandly-upbeat song from artists Komar & Melamid and composer Dave Soldier, specifically tailored to the results of a 1996 online survey of listeners' tastes. The artists claim that, according to their research, "The Most Wanted Song" will be "unavoidably and uncontrollably 'liked' by 72 ± 12% of listeners."

By contrast, they claim "fewer than 200 individuals of the world's total population will enjoy" its companion piece, "The Most Unwanted Song".

I've heard both, and, depressingly, they're probably right.
