A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose? (lemmy.world)

This ability of the sorcerer will wipe any one song of your choosing from the pages of history, as if it never existed! Gone from our reality. They were going to do it anyway, but they're making you choose.

Which song would you pick?

(If you really can't narrow it down to one, then try narrowing to three)

The Gummy Bear song. I have no proof, but I think it has some kind of brain dissolving frequency.

The Twist, by Chubby Checker. Just to see if partnered dancing survives without it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Chubby's kind of a weirdo anyway, I'm fine with that. "Twist Again" isn't gonna make much sense anymore, but it's no great loss.

Happy Birthday. Just because I want to see what replaces it

Bohemian rhapsody - it's one of the greatest songs ever made, just curious to see how it would retard the progression of music.

~~probably a hot take:~~

Turkey in the Straw

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not that hot a take if you look up the original lyrics though

This song. My freshman year roommate is probably responsible for a million of those plays and he ALWAYS played it at max volume on his laptop.

Either his mom filled out his roommate survey or the university didn't read them. That was a rough semester.

Thriller.

Praise You by Fatboy Slim. I hate that song so much I have to turn it off whenever I happen to come across it. It's the drawn-out repetitive tones.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Freebird. It's the audio equivalent of Hookworm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

The entire soundtrack of both Mama Mia movies.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Crazy Frog.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Emily - Joanna Newsom. I don't hate it whatsoever but ever since listening to Joanna, this song in particular, I haven't achieved that musical high since. Maybe in this altered universe it can be created once more so I can feel that joy and wonderment again - if only for a moment.

Do I get to remember it? So then I can just make it again and say it's my song

Happy Birthday, just because it'll be interesting to see what we all choose to do instead of singing that song.
