We should commission something good.
I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Sure there is: Highway to Hell. He will be on a highway to hell - in the passing lane.
Lyrics:
You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You fucking Nazi whore
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You [slimy] little shit bitch fuck
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
We can adapt one of theirs, how about "Tamp the dirt down" by Elvis Costello?
Something around there being a new toilet in the country but with the music from The Sound Of Music?
You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl, arise
And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize
I'll still be here as strong as you
And I'll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)
ding dong the bitch is dead
Perhaps they can use Lily Allen's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFE6qQ3ySXE -- she's from UK but oh well
May I suggest the orchestra song from Joey Quits? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A4UGtM4hDQ
Seems to have the kind of celebratory vibe that would be warranted
It's gotta be something kids can sing. But what's another way of saying orange fuck ass motherfucker in a socially acceptable way?
The poo pants man is dead!
The poo pants man is dead!
His pants are clean
The country's keen
Cause orange man has bled!
We could always adopt “Lizzie’s in a box”

It'd be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey hey
Goodbye
So I hadn't heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funeral-playlist/
Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about "the waiting is the hardest part" seems appropriate.
I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.
How about "Witch, watch, the ding dong's dead" instead?
It's a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn't work.
All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.
I'm pretty sure when he keels over it'll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.
How about "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang? "Celebrate good times, come on!"
That's what I'll be playing, that's for sure!
Union Dixie?
Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?
Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.
Ding dong the orange is dead
Ding dong Donny’s dead
Ding dong the dick is dead.
