"what's new pussycat" 14 times, with "it's not unusual" thrown in once to give them hope

Beat me to it. I scrolled back just to post this and... Here you are.

4'33" by John Cage repeated 15 times.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?

I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ohh yeah, they make one noise and we start again, I want half an hour minimum of silence from everyone, maybe they might look inside themselves and find the good person they're hiding or I'll get to not listen to people talk. Win win.

This is it. The day has come. This is my chance to rickroll the entire world in one go.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears repeated 14 times, with 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton tossed in once somewhere in the middle.

I imagine they’d feel like they were babysitting their good friend who was blackout drunk but still conscious and who said that β€œEverybody Wants to Rule the World” was a song that never fails to calm them down. All the while, they’d occasionally remember the feeling that they were doing a good thing by making sure their friend didn’t choke on their own vomit that kept reappearing every hour or so.

Tame Impala's Currents.

For maximum hair-tearing insufferableness?

Baby Shark x14

My Pal Foot Foot x1

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a mall up in Montreal, Canada, playing babyshark on repeat in stairwells to prevent homeless people from staying there. So far it's been cruelly effective.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I'm sure that's how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.

  1. Sell these musical slots to artists for a few million apiece

  2. Profit

I listen to prog, so it'd be a looong playlist

15 different renditions of Popcorn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you found the solution for world peace.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember reading about someone who listened to Popcorn for 24 hours and it had an effect on them.

[–] TehBamski 3 points 1 week ago

Was the effect that he eventually popped?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Because I'm currently putting some effort to advance a story I'm working on and I have a playlist for miid setting, that would be it.

And it's mostly reggae, from the more classical to present day creation.

[–] taiyang 4 points 1 week ago

15 different versions of Baby Shark that my daughter has on repeat.

I imagine the world would react negatively.

Don't know how they'd react, but here's the list I'd go with based on what I've been recently addicted to:

Escape Route by Free The Jester

Tongue Tied by Free The Jester

Shapeshifter by Nothing Shameful

Selkirk by Nothing Shameful

And probably one more to round it off:

Casulty by The Nixon Rodeo.

If people aren't a fan of small no-name bands, they might not like these talented groups and their songs, but I'm sure there are people out there who would absolutely love these indie(?) selections. I swear small no-name unrecognized bands have some of the best music.

The album World Music Radio, by Jon Batiste

[–] mkhopper 2 points 1 week ago

Because I wouldn't want people to kill me after the 24 hours is over... I would go with the Pink Floyd album, Meddle, mostly for Echoes (six tracks). Then the Jean-Michel Jarre album, Oxygène (another six). Then some good trip-hop tracks for something to move to.
Maybe Supreme Beings of Leisure, Ghetto. Moloko, Fun for Me. Morcheeba, Blood Like Lemonade.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

They'd think I came from an alternate universe. Video game soundtracks and some songs I made alongside some lostwave. The video game songs don't sound like they're from a game, and the rest are things they'd be unfamiliar with.

[–] Brickhead92 2 points 1 week ago

Probably the Book of Mormon original Broadway cast recording. But I'd have to cut out 1 song, that'd be difficult to choose which one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Ram ranch, two trucks, alternating 7 times and then Alice’s restaurant once.

I believe this would result in a lot of mental breakdowns, and a newfound love of Arlo Guthrie.

[–] just_ducky_in_NH 4 points 1 week ago

On the Group W bench!

[–] TehBamski 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are these albums or songs of Arlo Guthery?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon soundtracks.

[–] abcde_fz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

My playlist will be the album Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. In fact, maybe I'll just select my three favorites from that album, Ella Guru, Frownland, and Veterans' Day Poppy, and repeat them five times.

I'm in the mood to fuckin' piss some people off.

I'd love it but be annoyed that you didn't go for the whole thing, start to finish.
