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 entire soundtrack of both Mama Mia movies.

Everyone's ragging on the Christmas retail ambience songs, but at least you can mitigate the risks of hearing those ones by staying the fuck out of shopping malls. My top three:

Cotton Eye Joe
Whatever that song is that's basically just "tonight's gonna be a good night" over and over
Danza Kuduro

The second song is "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas

Bird is the word, fuck that song and on a similar note, fuck Peter Griffin.

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.

You can't just ruin Oktoberfest like that. You're a monster.

Anything K-Pop. The world will be better off without any of it.

Nobody tell him about Country

Oh I’d take country any day over K-Pop… and I despise country.

That crying taylor swift song “she wears short skirts”

Idk the name but her singing is super annoying in that

Pour Some Sugar On Me. God I hate it so much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's a movie about that scenario with the Beatles. Called yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, you must understand, as you are part of the reality you inhabit, you could not be aware of a song that never existed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Let em be aware but because it cannot exist they will never be physically able to produce it. Getting tongue tied every time they try to state the lyric or losing control of their limbs when they try to write it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

The sorcerer finds this approach a bit sadistic to implement for their taste, though a chuckle escaped unguarded.
