The 1990's were a great time for bad music. Right Said Fred, Ace of Base, N*Sync, all of these stinkers made their debut in the decade that also gave us great acts like Nirvana and Dave Matthews Band. I say this to illustrate what an accomplishment it was for three guys in the 1990's to produce the world's worst song. From Wired...
An online poll conducted in the '90s set Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier on a quest to create the most annoying song ever. After gathering data about people's least favorite music and lyrical subjects, they did the unthinkable: they combined them into a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners. The song is not new, but it recently resurfaced on Dial "M" for Musicology.
By my ear, the song isn't too terrible at the onset but gets exponentially worse the longer it plays. By the time it gets to the 'kids singing about Christmas' part it's virtually impossible to listen to any longer. If you dare, Take A Listen.

I used to play in a Portuguese pop band that regularly played songs worse than this! Just not as long!
