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"

Product Description
This stunning CD contains greatest hits, highlights, and lowlights from Jim Nayder's "The Annoying Music Show" heard on National Public Radio (NPR). Most of the annoying selections have also been featured on NPR's "Weekend Edition" with Scott Simon, where Mr. Nayder is a regthe studio locks. Whether it's Pa Cartwright crooning "As Time Goes By" as a Bosa Nova, or Abdala Bucaram (the deposed President of Ecuador's) tribute to Elvis, this CD is the perfect gift for a blissfully unaware loved one, lousy boss, or ex-spouse. Mr. Nayder warns that no small children, kittens, fragile plants, or nuclear devices should be in the same room, when the CD is playing. Ear plugs are highly recommended.

It's like the unwanted guest who wouldn't leave!.......2003-12-12

Thanks to Jim nayder's wacky collection, I get to have a romp every time I drive in my car with my 4 year old daughter, who always asks, "can we hear the Annoying Music Show again?" It's like a dangerous substance and can be damaging to one's health if listened to too often.. Use with caution. PS: I'm buying his 2nd CD, if only so that I have a respit from this great collection. One Note: one can NEVER get too much of [...]!!!!!

Annoying, really........2003-07-18

The music on this cd is wonderfully odd and terrible. It's a great collection in that sense. What's not so wonderful is Jim Nayder's own commentary, some of which literally interrupts the tracks. To be fair, I've never listened to his NPR show, and I bought this cd for the music and not for him. But I find his comments unnecessary. People who buy this cd are probably already in on the joke. They don't need to be constantly reminded how funny these songs are by someone who's not so much funny as he is... annoying.

I laughed, I cried, I kissed 15 bucks goodbye..........2002-09-05

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.

WOW! Holiday Shopping Finally UN-Annoying!.......2001-11-05

I always dreaded the start of Holiday shopping season, which
seems to begin earlier and earlier. But believe it or not, I've
just about completed my list, and I never had to leave the house (in fact, leave my bedroom). Finding the stunning NPR Radio show's Annoying Music CD, which I've enjoyed (perhaps survived is a better word?), on amazon was a God-send, and I'm an agnostic.

The music(?) on this CD is so horribly beautiful, it makes you laugh till you are tearing up like a tired cat. Simply, I ordered annoying CDS . . . and now have great, funny presents for my co-workers, my nephew, 4 friends around the world, my brother, and a former boss I really don't like (he has NO sense of humor!)
And honoring my right to be lazy, I had them giftwrapped at amazon by the amazon elves, or elvises?

And to mix up the annoying gifts-I also found the Annoying Music HOLIDAY CD here at amazon, which will also take care of a couple of December birthdays, not to mention Hanukkah and Christmas, &
obscure holidays I have never heard of ("Christopher Columbus
Discovers DISCO?") And you have not lived a complete life until you've heard the Chutte Middle School Orchestra's version o MacArthur Park. For 10 minutes, they are so close to hitting the right notes, in-between drum solos and parents cheering wildly, that I thought I had been transported into a David Lynch movie. You couldn't recreate this music (not that you would want to!) as it is as complicated and annoying as setting a VCR, or opening the celophane wrap on a new CD. And to be honest, I bought the Annoying Music CDs for myself, as I might want help clearing my home of guests, when those folks on eggnog just won't leave. Now, I wonder if amazon sells earplugs?

Equally annoying to British people.......2001-08-19

You can't get this CD in the UK. I bought it while in the US and took it back with me - I got treated extremely strangely by customs on my return.

Was it worth the effort? No. This CD is horrible. It's ghastly; it sets my teeth on edge. I've coped with Negativland and even Florence Foster Jenkins, but this is the absolute pits.

Nonetheless, it's strangely compelling. When I hear it, my brain melts down. A while later, I have to listen again to remind myself how truly annoying it is.

How about a deal - I give the CD five stars, and Jim Nayder promises never to do it again?

Customer Reviews:

You Love this Or Hate it!.......2007-02-04

I cannot explain to anyone why this is good! Can you explain why something tastes amazing? You either get this or you don't. But in the words of Jim Nayder, "sweet lord," this is fantastic. [...] I know almost nothing about music, but listen to "Silent Night" and "Do You See What I See" and you will be astounded by the assonance, atonality, and arrythmia of this man. Truly genius. How else to describe the most unmusical individual ever recorded? That doesn't even include the amazing rubber band version of "Jingle Bells" by who else but Jeff St. Pierre and a frighteningly prophetic "In the Year 2000" by none other than Lucia Pamela who you will swear owns a time machine due to her unerringly accurate depicition of life as we know it now. And finally "One Tin Soldier" by Killdozer. I cannot believe you are still reading this and haven't ordered this disc yet!!!

THIS CD IS SPIRITUALLY BEAUTIFUL IN ITS HORRIFYINGNESSES!.......2004-05-23

To The Person Reading This Review:

I love music.

In my lifetime I have literally listened to more than 66,000 hours of records, CDs, 8-Tracks, mp3's and live venues. Some music of course--better than others--and a very few albums that I treasure and wish to have buried along side me. "The Annoying Music Show Holiday CD!" is such a CD. All of us have a moment of clarity in our lives, a millie-second of bright light & universal understanding of human & animals alike. My moment came during track #17, with the beautifully voiced child attempting to sing "Where Would We Be Without String?"

Such a simple yet profound title & song!

It gave me pause. Pause to ponder and pause to find my most recent medications.

Who is this Jim Nayder that finds such unique music and archives it for all ages & germinations to experience? Is he man, woman, beast, anti-Christ, Glenda-The Good Witch or perhaps a Donald Rumsfeld, taking full responsibility and yet suffering no consequences?

Or is Jim Nayder a simple human like all of us, yet able to distinguish that which is pure music solace, much like a Bat's inner radar could duck it under a boomerang?

Since purchasing this annoying CD, I have been happier, kinder
to strangers & loved ones and able to cry violently at the drop
of a safety pin. No other musical vehicle has affected me or even effected me, to this level of emotion.

Had I not listened to this CD, my life would have been much less a life, more perhaps a walk in the Black Forest at night during a lunar eclipse.

Now, as tears fill my eyes, I urge you in the strongest of terms,to get this CD, and LISTEN to its mysterious musical
lessons ASAP! Your so-called life will immediately be transformed into a light so bright, even God Almighty will need
sunglasses.

Annoying overkill.......2004-01-07

There is a good reason why radio program "The Annoying Music Show" is only given a 1-minute time slot once a week. It's funny to know that these songs exist, but when you spend over an hour listening to them (and it seems much, much longer), it goes from being funny to annoying and then to torture. It's as if Jim Nader felt compelled to cram as much annoying music onto the CD as he could fit. To do so, he really had to stretch the definition of "holiday" music to include such oddities as a Japanese cover of Madonna's "Material Girl", a reverent tribute to Richard Nixon, and a children's song about string. But the Anthony Quinn spoken-word rambling about love, while not a holiday song, is truly funny. I would buy a whole album of that.
I do understand that this music is SUPPOSED to be annoying, and it definitely is, but that still does not make the CD good. Do not attempt to listen to the entire disc in one sitting, or maybe just save your money and take the small doses of annoying music given out for free on the radio once a week.

God in his infinite wisdom, put Jim Nayder on this Earth.......2003-12-06

Wow, this CD has almost left me speechless. Who knew there was so much annoying music in the world? Well, Jim Nayder did, God bless him. This is funny stuff. The "highlights" have to be the Christmas songs [...]. The guy can't sing on key or follow the melody. Did he actually record an entire Christmas album? The mind boggles at the thought. Anyway, if you like annoying music, you should get this CD.

Perfect Gift For Mammy & Pappy!.......2001-03-22

After listening to The Annoying Music Show on NPR I was excited to hear about the CD from the program. After hearing it I now have the perfect gifts for both Mother's and Father's Day! My mom will cry when she hears the Japanese Bluegrass tribute to Madonna, and my Dad will weep too upon hearing Larry Hagman sing about Alamo Day. This is sweet revenge to loving, yet annoying parents --who asked me one too many times to TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN!!!!! Now I can shout the same thing at them!

This Will Make You Wish For The Melodious Crooning Of William Shatner..........2007-05-27

I am a longtime fan of "The Annoying Music Show" and eagerly anticipated this release. I teetered between a four and five star rating for the CD because while it is annoying enough to qualify for five stars, it was slightly less annoying than previous collections of annoying music.

I was quite impressed by Sid Vicious' version of "My Way," the peculiar Finnish version of "Beds are Burning" by Elakelaiset, and the extremely amusing version of "In the Ghetto" by Swedish Elvis impersonator, Eilert Pilarm (who neither looks nor sounds in any way like Elvis). As impressive as these tracks are, though, my favorite track was "Bacteria," apparently a training song from Kentucky Fried Chicken; it is appropriately followed with the delightful "I Want to Vomit On You" by The Bird Flu Boys. This dynamic duo of song packs a wallop.

Less sublime, though still worthy of your attention is "The Glaucoma Hymn" by the Glaucoma Medical Symposia (!) and a truly stunning composition called "The Snow Creature" that is a study in rhythm impairment.

On the negative side, there are some songs that aren't merely annoying, but are insufferable. Far and away the least endurable song on the CD (possibly the hardest song to listen to that I have ever heard) is "Over the Rainbow," a song that never, ever needed to be remade, and especially not by somebody named "Young Rick." I also found the two Beatles covers on the CD to be sub par and boring, while the cover of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" by Walter Brennan was unnecessary and irritating (though nowhere near as irritating as "Surrey With the Fringe On Top" by Marlene Dietrich).

In a final column (that I simply label "Why?") in the accounting of this CD is "Too Much Tissue," the only song I have ever heard that specifically concerns the subject of post nasal drip. Enough said.

While I didn't enjoy all of the music, I did enjoy the humorous introduction by Suze Orman, and some of the other interjections from Jim Nayder and Ken Nordine. For people entertained by comically bad music, this is a golden disc, and I recommend it and others in the series.
