Yahoo users will soon get the green light to upload videos and music clips containing content belonging to Sony BMG Music Entertainment. In exchange, Sony will receive a portion of advertising revenue generated.

We seemed to have release our list of the Most Annoying songs ever a few weeks too soon. The OnlineMusicBlog.com staff have unanimously agreed to revise our list making “Chocolate Rain” the most annoying song of all time.

The song repeats the same chord over and over until you want to die. If you enjoy mind numbing torture, then check out the video here.
