Inspired by Olia Lialina’s Vernacular Web essay I began re-enjoying some dodgy old midi music that I’d collected.
I’ve always been fond of the Depressing Classic Rock Midi Songs page, but in my opinion, the worst midi version of a song ever is Queenwords.com’s Bohemain Rhapsody.
Play it all the way through. Bismillah. It will not let you go.

Geez…. The rendition of REM Everyone Hurts sounds worse than a ZX Spectrum cassette at full volume. Perhaps I need to load it into a Spectrum and see if there’s a hidden message.
