Just for the record, I LOL WUT'd at Scarlet Johansson's record for the sheer absurdity of her putting out an album of Tom Waits covers - before I heard it, and so hadn't decided whether I liked it or not. I was actually repulsed and offended when I actually listened to it... ;)

:whistling:

Careful Robin, I didn't say "all"... I said "a whole bunch" of people.

So not everyone should feel targetted by my comment.

Well, I DID. So from now on you have to say a "whole bunch of people except Jamie"

Or I will take things personally. You are clearly the one who needs to change, not I, sire.

[/satire (or irony. I'm not really sure which cause I'm way too jacked up on Full Throttle right now)]

I personally think the greatest LOL WUT in music aside from 4:33 and just about anything by Berio is Steve Reich's "Clapping Music".

*clap clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap clap, clap clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap clap...*

I LOVE clapping music! Not that I know it well as a piece, but I've got sentimental ties to it. At music camp, we'd all burst into clapping music at least once every two or three days... often at meals...

this thread is heading for the Off Topic forum if is devolves into just a string of ignorant bashing posts.

Discuss a serious topic, or keep it to Off Topic.

Bashing is not discussing.

It has no place on this forum.

Eric Whitacre's Godzilla Eats Las Vegas.

That piece is so bando, yet really funny.

There is a really good performance of it on youtube by the Florida State University concert band. Here is the link to part 1 and part 2:

As far as "art music" goes, Charles Ives's Fourth Symphony! Andrew Litton's take on Hyperion never fails to make me giggle. Then at the other end of the metric "wut" scale there's Bernd Alois Zimmermann, whose music is equally crazy but so exhaustingly nihilistic I kind-a feel bad getting a kick out of the surface of it.
