CD sales hit all-time low
Despite every major record label’s best efforts to keep the compact disc holy,... [more]
The French king of cheese and the world’s most evil software empire have gotten into bed together, and the results are astounding and surprising… a crap novelty track! That’s right, David Guetta and Microsoft have hooked up in an unholy union to produce a tune that samples the sound that MSN makes when you’re sent an instant message. Ladies and gentleman, try to restrain your excitement.
While the new song Mix Messenger is apparently “hilarious” (I’m going off the super-enthused press release here), and we could talk about how it sets new standards in corporate dance music synergy, that’s all that ITM is going to say about it. It’s simply too naff to put into words so you’ll just have to take a listen yourself. Or not.Click below to make your ears bleed by listening to the Guetta/Microsoft monstrosity, and stay tuned for Paul Oakenfold’s crappy remix of the Apple OSX bootup sound.

fugejim says...
This is nothing new, which doesnt suprise me taking into account the two parties at hand. Look up: Ricksick's - Messenger (Eric Lavelle's Club Mix) (Diamond recordz)! Now this is how to pull of a true messenger sample...
TRJLUGARNO says...
im with i_have_ ADD as terrible as it is and what ever, it would do my head in if i heard it out in a club. i hope it never happens
mike_L says...
hahahahaha
phoeBios says...
LOL sooo baaaaaaaaaaaaad
Pro Tool says...
I thought it was fucking awesome and it's now my new ringtone, doorbell and it plays Darth Vader style outta nowhere whenever I enter the room.
broomsticks says...
hahaha
snotty2hotty says...
pretty much the exact reason i turn the sounds of msn!!
seth111 says...
lol, agreed snotty2hotty!!!
DRi_2004XL says...
It could be worse, it could be sounds from Trillian. Does any still use Trillian? For those that dont, but did, you would remember the instant message sound it had, screaming "UHHH OHHHH". Which is just what im doing now listening to this msn bollocks. Its not hilarious, its not shocking, its not ear splittingly bad... its just naff. About as naff as a single 40 year old man dressed in a stained bedsheet at the launch day of the new Harry Potter book, holding his wand in earnest.
aaron_camz says...
i will showcase this track on my radio show this week as possibly the worst track ever.
seth111 says...
lol, agreed snotty2hotty!!!
macky says...
its a classic, haha...
twisted_elegance says...
ok not as bad as i thought it was gonna be... if the messenger sound hadn't annoyed me within the first 2 seconds of using msn all those years ago, it might not hurt my ears so much now... :)
nasko says...
it aint easy bein cheesy
Emma Lake says...
sounds like a rush job he did on a free music program/game
angjames says...
This would skitz the shit out of me if I heard it whilst out
Tetsuwan says...
I wouldn't put it past Guetta that he made the track this cheesy and crap for a reason. He wants notoriety for his good stuff, not some tie-in with Microsoft. Give the man more credit. At least i hope so....
robbz_69 says...
giv the guy sum credit, he obviously spent 15min making a song which payd him a shitload... guess hair gel modelling isnt paying what it use to.
