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 traditional "birthday song".

Entry of the Gladiators

If that song had never existed

Which military march would get turned into clown music?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Freebird. It's the audio equivalent of Hookworm.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It'll be just like movies and TV shows for the 80 years that Warner/Chappell music claimed they owned the rights. Most of them will probably be variations of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"

Black Hole Sun

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

That Mariah Carey Christmas song every single retail worker hates

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It would be irresponsible not to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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

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

Rule Brittania would be a good one to rid history of.

Pachelbel's canon in D for reasons explained here

Oh my god!

Either the British or American national anthems, they're both pretentious as fuck and it'd be kinda interesting to see if something like that has knock on effects down the line.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I'd say the American one because as a British person, I haven't sung ours once in my entire life but Americans seem to sing theirs for everything.

Brimful of Asha by Cornershop Steal my Sunshine by Len

My partner giving up 90s radio or wearing headphones would suffice.
