Worst... uh... "mood music"

We all know about the practice of putting on some Barry White while doing the deed (and yes, I'm talking about with others) in order to help get her in the mood. Barry's good music for the hot-n-heavy. But I got to thinking, what's the worst music you could use for that purpose?

Now, there are certainly some terrible choices. Almost any J-Pop. Any country. About four-fifths of the Bloodhound Gang's works (about a fifth would actually be pretty good if you were with the right kind of girl... The Bad Touch, Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss, etc). Rammstein would just kill the mood right there. If you put on Sufjan Stevens or Tom Waits, she'd just be like, what the hell are you playing at?

But I think the king of bad bangin' music is Intelligent Dance Music: Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin... especially Aphex Twin. there are a couple in there that would work well (Aphex Twin's Windowlicker Squarepusher's Red Hot Car, for example), but most of the genre just wouldn't work. Part of the purpose of "mood music" is to provide a little bit of a rhythm, too, and how would that work when it comes to a snare rush? Humans just can't move that fast. And think about the more experimental tracks: Aphex Twin's [Formula] from the Windowlicker single or Bucephalus Bouncing Ball from the Come To Daddy EP would just end in sorrow, not to mention Come To Daddy (pappy mix) itself. There's just something about a demonic voice shouting "I want your soul, I will eat your soul" that takes the magic out of an evening.

What gets your vote for worst genre for bedroom music?
 
Any electroglitch. I'm not quite sure about liturgical music. I can see that going sharply in one direction or the other.

Don't think most people want to be reminded of Jesus while doing the dirty...

Well I don't know, some people really love Jesus....... a lot.
 
I think my worst was when my randomized playlist came up with Merzbow when I was 'pretty far along' .....

shudder.
 
Once I had 'an experience' whilst Will Smith's "Big Willy Style" album was playing. I don't know if it's the same in the US but in the UK 'Willy' is often used as slang for wang.

The girl was hideous, and to this day I've refused to listen to the album again, and I shudder each time I hear Will Smith sing.
