Robert Feder Chic. Sun Times [e-mail]

Robert Feder, Chicago Sun Times Critic (Nov. 3-99 page 61) "Jim Nayder, the supremely sardonic host of public radio's "The Annoying Music Show" on NPR serves up 23 "greatest hits" of the world's worst songs on "The Annoying Music Show CD." You haven't lived until you've heard Abdala Bucaram, deposed president, sing "jailhouse Rock" or Sweden's "Singin' Sensation" Eilart Pilarm ruin "All Shook Up"

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed, I cried, I kissed 15 bucks goodbye..., September 4, 2002

Please buy this CD. I don't care what kind of music you listen to, there is something on it to offend you, annoy you, and/or make you collapse into helpless, gibbering hysteria. I originally bought this to send to a friend, to get even with him for sending me "Philosophy of the World" by the Shaggs. Well, he'll have to get his own copy, because I'm keeping this one.

What a load of exquisite rubbish! The standouts are the hilarious "My Bathroom is a Private Kind Of Place" and the tortuous "Why Doesn't Daddy Come Home?" which fried at least ten percent of my brain cells and spoiled all the food in my refrigerator. It's all oddly compelling, like a bad car wreck--you know it's horrible, but you just can't turn away. It's evil, it's wretched, it's awful, it's practically apocalyptic...and I loved it.

Half of my hearing is gone from listening to way too much loud music in my misspent youth. While listening to this CD, there were moments when I wished it were ALL gone. You will too. Whether you know it or not, you NEED this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Annoying Music Solves My Gift Giving Dilemma!, June 11, 2000

By 

Ellen Shelby (Evanston, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Annoying Music Show's The Annoying Music Show CD (Audio CD)

As a teacher, graduation time has usually meant a long search for special student & co-worker gifts that are different, personal, and memorable (and under $20!) This year, I decided to give a gift that NO ONE would forget. The Annoying Music CD. What a hit! It not only generates big belly laughs and "moans" as it's unwrapped, I found the CD to be a fantastic "conversation starter" at the dozens of graduation parties I'm currently touring. Everybody starts to argue about "what's the most annoying song ever recorded" and "did Bob Dylan atually sing with Tiny Tim?" (he did and the CD proves it!) My students seem to appreciate that I recognize their sense of humor, making the gift more personal than a traditional graduation gift such as blank notebook to "write your journal this summer" etc! Annoying Music is also educational . . . it teaches my students how not to practice and achieve lasting fame! Thanks Jim Nayder & NPR for solving my gift dilemma this

year. Hmmmm I've got a couple of weddings coming up . . . do you think!

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed and cried at the same time which is not easy., February 19, 2000

I first learned about annoying music when I heard Jim Nayder interviewed by Scott Simon on his NPR program. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Singing Sisters from Syracuse, Lorn Greene attempting a bosa-nova version of As Time Goes By, and a love ballad to a bathroom? It was so funny & amazing I couldn't turn it off. When I heard there was a CD of this annoying stuff, I jumped at the chance to buy one for my unsuspecting friend. Amazingly we are still friends (I think) When I heard the actual CD I had to buy another one for myself, because I think it will keep the burglars away. Go for it. It's like taking a ride on a new and exciting roller coaster. You scream, laugh, cry, cover your head . . . and then you want to ride again!
