The worst song in the history of music (with added sinister corporate overtones)

The Observer blog had intended to kick off the week with a post about the Labour party conference, or some such weighty affair of state. But we are endebted to Martin, a reader in Muenster, for drawing our attention to something of far greater import: the discovery of the worst song in the history of music.

Observer blog ultra-sensistive hyperbole detector barely flickers.

Truly, the worst. The artist is unknown, the title, as far as we can tell is "Symantec revolution" - it is a corporate bonding anthem by Symantec, providers of "sweet" internet security solutions. It is in the style of late-eighties/early-nineties power pop house. It is C + C Music Factory with an MBA.

Listen to the words. Be appalled and amused.

(Immense credit due to Keith for first unearthing this.)
