That video makes me think of a party I went to when I was a student, about 50 years ago. It was in the same central city suburb as the Conservatorium of Music. As I was leaving I heard three people who were singing and playing very strange, very unappealing music. I asked them what the music was called and they didn't give the tune a name but just told me it was atonal music.

By the grace of the music gods, I have never heard any more atonal music in my life, except for that Merle Hazard video and I'll go to my grave a happy woman if I never hear any more!

:-D

I'd hazard a wild guess that Merle is not his real name. Very amusing....

Wikipedia says:

Merle Hazard (born Jonathan A. Shayne) is an American satirist known for penning and performing country songs about unconventional topics, including economics, atonal music, and physics. Shayne started releasing music as Merle Hazard in 2007, his stage name a pun on the economic phenomenon moral hazard and the country singer Merle Haggard.

Thanks, Joe. That was enjoyable. A friend once lent me an Alban Berg album and said I had to listen to it several times before "getting" the structure of the music. I couldn't stand to listen to it more than once - skimming it.
