Can't get over George Washington standing awkwardly in the middle of the composition like a child who's lost his mother in the grocery store.
Especially with the modern family walking past him like nothing.
No one gunna acknowledge the yawning hippo next to him?
Comments like this annoy me because at first I thought you were actually funny and saying something you came up with yourself and then immediately after I read it, he says it verbatim.
What about the Jesus deer?
@@aniquinstark4347 but there's no indication that they're actually trying to be funny. They just said they can't get over it.
When Solar Sands said "or can you?" The Vsauce theme started in my brain, and the better thing is that he actually used the song.
And then the music got messy
@@thegrunch6448 ahem.
ok

How can you imagine a song your currently listening to? Isnt that just listening to a song lol
Man, crazy how you went from making fun of bad art on Deviantart to using niche art projects to discuss what it means to be human and what the future may hold in store for us, while simultaneously exposing literally millions of people to said art projects.
So cool to see how far you've come!
So true
Yeah it's great. Also I think that cringe culture Is a lot toxic and very generic. I like the development of this channel
@Biggles Worken
You shut up. I'm just expressing my admiration for how well Solar Sands has managed to transform his content.
And btw, this is most likely the first time I've mentioned Solar Sands' history in his comment section. Don't get mad at me for what other people do.
@Biggles Worken
Touch grass.
@Biggles Worken you need to chill out
the most unwanted song has almost 9 times more plays on Spotify than the most wanted song
Most likely due to curiosity than anything else.
People respond more to bad things than good things.
The description of the most wanted song put me off it completely.
They're both comically ridiculous LOL. The most wanted song sounds like a discount Whitney Houston and Bruce Springsteen singing something resembling a love song, but mentions ketchup bottles.
It's more than 9 times better.
"Rapping opera singer" is something I didn't expect to hear today
It sounded like Mickey Mouse rapping 😂
Gurren Lagann already proved that the fusion is viable . The only thing holding us back is fear.
There is an anime called Carol & Tuesday made by the director of Cowboy Bebop. In the show there is a "Mars has Talent" show were one of the contestants does a rap/opera.
it's pretty fun actually, at least that part
OG Bulldog from Carol & Tuesday would like a word.
I like how the "most unwanted painting in america" looks like a "painting" in the background of a 90s cartoon.
Nickelodeon.
that actually looked like a banger of a painting to me
There are some specific cartoon episodes like that and they are Dreadful
It looks like something you'd see in a Liminal Space map in Garry's Mod
It’s like they didn’t want it cuz it didn’t have the episode it was supposed to have, a liminal space which rather than evoking nostalgia, longing, & melancholy or even unease but frustration & dissointment instead.
8:52 I love how angry solar sands got over Croc hate.
OK, you're officialy Vsauce 4
Actually be should be Vsauce 1 since he doesn't waste his time making vertical videos of spinning tops
@@Chrnan6710 ??
He’s Vsauce but instead of talking about science he talks about art
he's the deviantart vsauce
Vsauce minus the being sponsored by bill gates to make propagandist videos 👍
I'm gonna do this with fight scenes
You know, I would love to see how that turns out.
Heat
tell us when you're done
I'd legit be down to see how the "least wanted" fight scene would play out.
given the amount of people who think they want realistic fight scenes this should be good
first solar sands laughing at the idea of children's singing being on the worst list then his shock at them singing about walmart in the worst song is pure reaction gold!
Children's singing is lowkey one of the worst kinds of music, but because it's usually parents who listen to it, they're not allowed to call it shit.
Strangely, despite me always openly hating it, I wouldn't have said it's bad.
@@Zaire82 it's so shitpost-y and awful that it sort of works?
@@Zaire82 Honestly, children’s choirs can be good if they actually know what they’re doing and have a decent amount of experience/training. But when it’s bad, it’s real bad.
@@thisisbetterthanmyprevious6674 There's that one song from the Katamari Damacy soundtrack that somehow pulls off using an out-of-tune children's choir to carry the melody, but... that might be the only counterexample the world has produced thus far.
Another brick in the wall by pink floyd is an example of children signing that sounded good.
The Most Unwanted Song was mine and my bf's choice of song to listen to when going on road trips, especially with our unsuspecting friends. Its really a big meme between the both of us and we unironically enjoy the absurdity in it.
So it's your fault the Spotify for it has a lot more plays than the wanted song, lol
"Do all your shopping...at Walmart!" Is something me and my friends started saying to each other on holidays so this was a nice treat
The most universally liked color was generally blue, with green in second.....
*So it might actually be easy being green, because it’s still a very popular color.*
GAGAGAGAGAGA! I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest TH-camr of all time. 1...2...3. GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! Thank you for your attention, dear mem
@@AxxLAfriku why should we care lol
green is a very creative colour
@@francesatty7022 I thought it wasn't.
A talking notepad said so.

Flute is included in the "bad" orchestra

I died when he played the Yoko clip for "discordant sounds." Hit the nail on the head. 🤣
Same, I laughed out loud when I saw her in the video even before he finished the line because I knew what he was going to say XD
1:00 George Washington just standing there for no reason is really funny.
His posture makes it look like he’s a little embarrassed about something
Just listened to the Most Unwanted Song and I'm really confused on how it would even work in a dance club tbh, but he's right it's not bad
People in dance clubs would dance on literally anything.
To be fair all of them are drunk, and most are high. So they would probably dance to 3 minutes of goat screaming if it had a little bit of auto tune.
@@nightfall1826 Yeah the dubstep version of 'kid yodeling in Walmart' is banger tbh so if goat screaming was autotuned & had a good beat behind it, I'd dance to it
Wait a second... That picture of Russian forest with bears is hung in my mom's room... We talk sometimes about it, but we didn't know where did it come from... Mom just always says something along the lines of: "I just think it's neat"...
Действительно, самая желанная картина...

@@silliercrayon9588 Kind of... My english vocabulary consists of junk I've read on the internet... And some phrases are so beaten into my mind by memes, that I use them unironicly as an examples of sentence structures... (But that does not work for grammar... I will not forgive internet for teaching me that "Thicc" is the right speling and making me lose points on English exam in college...)
@@pneuma6202 Thanks! It is a slow process, I've started 7 years ago... But still don't have much confidence in my abilities... Because I don't have much control over what exactly I'm learning... What is it gonna be today? Bee Movie script? Antinatalism? Conspiranoia about frogs and chemicals? 18-th century styles of corsets? Or my country's famous leaders rapping? Only algorithm can tell, but I sure can't...
@@Arseniy_Arsenicum lol that is awesome that memes are part of your cultural learning. Words like conspiranoia are words that even native English speakers might not come up with.
Я немного понимаю and that's about all I can say that isn't a response to a basic phrase so your English level is very impressive, college entrance exam marks notwithstanding (although answering "thicc" is legendary)
I liked Holland's least-wanted painting the most. A pleasant dining room scene with a cat looking out the window at a city in the distance? It's wonderful! :D
Same! I prefer it to holland's most wanted one
The best explanation for their tastes that I can think of is that they must be really sick of Van Gogh.
Except a naked man nailed to a cross right outside your window.
I’m Dutch and everything about that painting feels a bit wrong. And the color is sickening.
The “Or can you?” Segue with the Vsauce music at 6:10 was a stroke of genius. I can’t stop laughing
The algorithm brought me to you, so it can't be all that bad.
In fact, it seems to be pretty good.
The algorithm made you a solid
Pretty sure that was his point. He said it was "worryingly good", not bad at all.
The painting featuring George Washington reminds me of Zetterstrand's Minecraft artworks because of how out of place he is
Honestly, thank you for making this. I think a lot of us need to be reminded that just because something is bad, does not make you a bad person for liking it.... well, as long as it doesn't harm anyone.
1:17 I love how that example of "least desireable art" could totally be on a modern art museum.
When the vsauce music hit, my life was completed
Moon Men by Jake Chudnow.
Heyyyyyy solar sands...
12:55 It really is no surprise to see the most wanted painting among Danes would include the flag.
The thing about blue and green being the most pleasing colors to the eyes was noted by the military when they started making night vision, blue was more pleasing but the eye is more sensitive to shades of green so it was chosen as the color to make the image intensifiers.
Even the abstract painting that the Dutch preferred was mostly blue and green.
I really couldn’t imagine a more danish painting than a bright blue sky with some pretty clouds and of course our pride and joy, the national flag
Of all the people, I never thought I'd see Lindybeige's channel pop up today
beige is a popular color
Him is like this paintings, have a video to every topic imaginable

not gonna lie "The Most Unwanted Song" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard
*The most wanted painting is clearly a blank canvas* so you can draw in whatever you want.
That is true.
No paint, therefore no painting.
I could have sworn your comment said something different but you edited it to make it more interesting

I have previously listened to The Most Unwanted Song, and it is the most glorious piece of music I have ever heard.
The least wanted painting is actually really cool, it elicited pretty strong emotion of like being trapped or confined
My ultimate life goal is to eventually be rich enough to own every painting of a monke ever created
My goal is to own evry orange painting
@@aldenomer5501 what defines a monkey painting
@@procrastinatingcartoonstm5130 A monkey painting would be a painting including all animals under the Old World Monkey classification or the New World Monkey classification. While New World Monkeys are actually relatively distantly related to Old World Monkeys, they both have the title of monkey so they are both monkeys when ignoring taxonomy. Because of this classification, apes, both greater and lesser, are excluded from this. This means if a painting has a picture of a human in it, it is not a monkey painting BUT if it is a painting of a human, a gorilla, and a capuchin it is a monkey painting.
@@aldenomer5501 We do a little trolling
Who knew I'd find you here?
"solar forgets pictures exist"

I like your profile picture
Solar Sands became the Vsauce of the art world and that's just real interesting to me
Been recently watching a lot of your videos. I love it how you always start with a simple concept, then slowly bring up related subjects to finally arrive at almost philosophical questions. Touching genuinely interesting subjects to contemplate about later. Overall quality content and a pleasure to watch.
I've listened to the most unwanted song multiple times the whole way through. I love it.
Me too. It brings an energy that nothing else can quite match.
@@RidleyJones to me, it feels like a fever dream
The only "Most Wanted" piece of art is that *TUMBLR* video.

I really love your new essay videos, I always look forward to your uploads.
I came into yet another one of Solar Sands videos, trying to understand what best to do with my artwork, for reaching a bigger audience, and ended up leaving with an existential crisis over realizing how I'm lost in life and how unhappy I am with myself...Thank you, Sands?
y'know I've never actually thought about surveying people's favorite aspects of paintings
like you always ask favorite color or ice cream type but never aspects of painting
just scored another smalltalk subject >:D
What's your favorite aspects of paintings?
I like when he said or can you vsauce music just started playing
That’s... the joke
@@dieclick3659 I know
That was top tier XD
Confirm that Solar Sands is basically Vsauce of the art world
The not knowing what you want hits so close to home.
Sometimes you remember a day or a scenario and think "this was really nice", then you repeat it and it feels empty.
Not gonna lie, the sneaker shown right around 9:02 as “These exist!” is declared actually looks awesome. It doesn’t look comfortable; I wouldn’t want to wear it. But as a form study, I’m legitimately impressed.
speaking of targeted advertisements, I keep getting a wish ad for a zenitsu body pillow and I'm scared
oh dear
One thing that targeted advertising hasn't taken into consideration is whether you are a buyer or a window looker. I am an artist and a while back I went online looking at images of red velvet chairs to see if one would work with the painting of a mother breastfeeding a child that I was working on. Now, I'm pestered every day with ads for you guessed it. No intention of ever buying one.
Me: *walking my dog*
Solar sands: *uploads*
Me: "i am no longer walking my dog"
ok
I've listened to the most unwanted song multiple times.
It always tears me up, without fail. funniest shit Ive ever heard.
the annoying protester at the end, the shitty tuba groove, the bag pipes, the children singing about yom kipur and ramadan, and the opera singer rapping avout being a cowboy. I love every single moment of it.
Congrats on Reaching 1 Million Subs! Keep up the great content!
I'd actually love to have Denmark's "most wanted painting" on my wall. It's a lovely work of art.
The Most Wanted Song is so boring and cliche. I know exactly where it's going to go from the start.
The Least Wanted Song is unironically better. It fuses genres in ways I never thought possible, it keeps going in new and unexpected directions. It's like Bohemian Rhapsody on bath salts.
Would you by chance be a painting critic?
I get System of a Down vibes from The Most Unwanted Song. Probably because System tends to do a lot of jarring tempo changes and Serj often does exaggerated and goofy voices while singing.
Both of them are boring and uninteresting
Novelty sells.
The top 10 songs of this year probably suck in my opinion. There's something to like about them but I'm really tired of the melancholy, cheap emotional stuff (looking at you, Memories), simplistic everything or how how they basically steal the entire melody which I've only seen once. (Looking at you again, Memories) popular artists are a plague on the music scene at this point to me but I'll see what the top 10's are sure
A couple of my favourite artists. Great video.
this is a perfect cherry on top to what i’ve been experiencing lately. your videos always seem to come at these times. i’m glad to be growing as a person and i’m glad to say you’ve had some influence on it.
Who needs school when a new Solar Sands video releases?
You do.
Imagine going to school today lmao just live near where a horse race happens lol

Oh my God I knew about these people from their musical work and I had read about their paintings but this is the first time I've seen someone actually do a video on it, thank you thank you thank you this is exactly the sort of content I subscribed for.
Your vids are honestly more interesting than my art theory/art history courses. They’ve inspired a lot of my own work. Keep up the amazing videos!!
I really enjoy how you go from one topic to another so organically, and wrap it all together in the end
Very happy to see the Lindybeige shoutout there! Epic
I didn't expect to see Lindybeige around here, but I definitely can relate 😅
1:10 The last thing I see when I pass out on the floor of a Chuck E. Cheese
This is a great video! Love the nod to Vsauce, though it's not just that song but the whole script that follows a similar 'curiosity train of thought' style. I think it works really well for your channel.
I love what you did when you say "Americans " at 4:20
10:00 Bull: Bustin is STILL as good as it was the first time!
true!
Bustin makes me feel good 👁️👄👁️
Haha! You caught me in my Solar Sands/Lindybeige catch-up binge!
Like a good piece of art, this video is giving me food for thought.
thank you.
hey solar, I had a shitty day so seeing something art-related in my notifications really made my day.
So thank you
My man promoting Lindybeige. Great channel.
Dude... Ding Dong and Julian talked about that Most Unwanted song JUST a day ago on OneyPlays. It's amazing that now I see this video by you! Great timing.
I'm so happy it's getting more eyes, I love it.
Also, algorithm aside, I happened to have searched you up from a comment I saw. So enjoy that fact :)
your videos always bring existencial dread to my day and i dont know why
Komar and Melamid are real geniuses. The very idea of their work is "Art should be simple". So you don't need special background to understand what they are doing and what they meant. I was really lucky to attend their exhibition two years ago. There were no "People's choice" but still quite an experience
I love how we started out with cursed deviant art, and now were getting existentially, psychologically, and whatever else-ly thought provoking
I love the increasing quality in your videos
Your videos keep aligning with events in my life. First, my friend tells me about ''The man who confused his wife with a hat'' and shortly after you mentioned this book. Now you make a video about the part made based on a questionnaire and here I am, going blindly to an art exhibition, and I see one of the paintings that you mentioned... I wonder what will happen next
Suddenly: Lindybeige! Or: I see you are a man of culture as well. *sophisticated tea sip*
I guess Solar has a point about the algorithm if it brought both of us to Lindybeige’s channel
Me: wins lottery
Solar sands: posts new video
Me: someone else can win the lottery
The description/breakdown of the most unwanted song absolutely sent me and I had to pause and wind back the video cause I was laughing for so long that I couldn't pay attention to the rest. 😂
this and a few others of yours are my official comfort videos
9:59 Neil Cicierega OMG 😍😍😍
I love the awkward George Washington painting because It's so weird
These videos are so well made
I really like your videos!! And im starting to like your voice aswell
I honestly think George poking his face in from one side as if he were a photographer checking the camera would be an interesting compositional change.
So you're telling me that the most unwanted song in the world is basically Death Grips.
I can believe it.
This is so fascinating
We need more surveys and social experiments like this
How nice! I heard about these paintings a month ago from a russian youtuber, immediately thought that it would be nice if you made a video about it.
I can't believe how popular simplicity was. I think that's what makes my art dull 90% of the time.
The problem is that in the question, simplicity is connotated positively, while busy is connotated negatively, so it wouldn't be a surprise to me if that was the reason people chose simplicity.
Sometimes people want to be swept up by someone doing their own thing. If artists bend to your every whim, their work will become infected with the parts of yourself you wish you could forget.
Nice pfp

i completely lost it when you described the most unwanted song, i will check it out right away

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
Well, your brain can't literally interface with anything outside of your nervous system, so technically self-transcendence is the actual illusion.
Are you quoting something?
?
Or does it?
*vsauce theme can be heard*
@@darkestccino5405, he's transcended quotes
I find it interesting that, even though both music and visual art have extensive histories of experimentation and boundary pushing, only the most unwanted _music_ actually breaks into an unprecedented level of weirdness. I feel like I could pass any of the least wanted paintings in a gallery without a second glance- they're easily subsumed by the breadth of styles and abstraction already present in a lot of real paintings. But instead of turning into Webern or Stockhausen or something, the song ends up as this clusterfuck of essentially familiar genres mashed together in deliberately incongruous ways. On one hand I suspect that the surveys just didn't include "tonality" as an option, which is kind of silly, but because of that, counterintuitively, the music had to invent a genuinely novel was of breaking convention instead of lapsing into the default void of atonality that at this point has become such a familiar stand in for musical nonconformism.
The part about ai at the end there is pretty spot on to what’s currently happening lol kinda funny to rewatch now
Once in a while the algorithms recommends me to quality channels
/contents. I’m not even into art or history but I I’m pinch watching your content. Great job.
I unironically think Minecraft is one of the greatest examples of "art" that appeals to essentially everyone.
hah!... no
Maybe everyone below the age of 40.
I think that’s because it isn’t art, at least not on its own. You make the art with it.
@@KentuckyFriedChildren makes a lot of sense
@@KentuckyFriedChildren yeah it would be like saying an empty canvas is "art that appeals to everyone" it's poetic sure, but it's not art
I love the weirdness of the Most Wanted Painting. Like, George Washington is just standing there lmao
Yes!! I was so happy to see The Most Unwanted Song mentioned.
This is a really odd concept, surprised I've never heard of this before!! thanks for sharing!
