I thought about listening to the chart topper, but I'll take your word for it and possibly shock myself with a stun gun.

Just shows that you just can't beat the classics.

Now it's stuck in my head...

Eight seconds? Amateur stuff. Lou Reed did a DOUBLE ALBUM of noise: "The album features no songs or even recognizably structured compositions, eschewing melody and rhythm for an hour of modulated feedback and guitar effects, mixed at varying speeds by Reed." You can hear some of it on YouTube, but don't think I'm recommending that you do that.

How about an hour and a half of tuning by the Grateful Dead?

More info here.

Only eight seconds? Didn't Kanye let her finish?

What does it say when played backwards?

Bob since it says "ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh" when it's played forward I'm assuming it says "hhhhhhhhhhhssssssssss" when it's played backwards. I could be wrong.

"It's got a nice beat, Dick, but I really couldn't dance to it."

I prefer pink noise.

Barry Manilow will announce shortly that he's doing a duet with the white noise.

Sorry, I know you all came to bury Manilow, not to praise him.

John Cage did it first with 4'33" in 1952. These modern kids just can't stick at anything for long.

Get off my lawn...
