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."

Ironically, it's a way rougher listen than the unwanted music.

This "most wanted" version combines the elements the 500 people surveyed said they wanted most – love, soprano sax, humble ambition, tenor sax, a marriage proposal, cheesy electronic drum fills, working the night shift, string swells, power chords, and saccharine male/female harmonies – into an easy listening-style adult contemporary sound that could peel the paint off of the Space Shuttle.

What were the 500 people in the survey that led to the creation of this song thinking? Maybe pop music isn't one of crowd-sourcing's stronger suits.
