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)

Happy birthday song.

Now it's even more awkward as everyone must stare in silence in front of the cake 😈

Maybe the COPS theme song, cuz I think it did a lot to popularize the show and that was some mega-potent copaganda that did long-term damage.

Maybe Horst-Wessel-Lied, for similar reasons.

The "oh no oh no" high pitched "song" from TikTok that plays from my mom's phone when I'm about to sleep

I’d improvise one on the spot. just to prevent the erasure of others’ art. Nah, fuck that; Baby Shark can die.

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] 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Just pick anything from 21 Pilots. I'd wipe them all out if I could, but deleting one is at least a step in the right direction.

The Beatles - Number 9. Such a ruinous track on an otherwise wonderful album.

One of Jack Johnston's earlier songs. They all grated on me from the first listen, but they also seemed to follow me everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank goodness you didn’t say Jack Johnson.

"If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher, thus proving to her for a fraction of a nanosecond that her premise was actually possible after all, before every trace of the tune ceases to exist.

The boys are back in town. I never liked the sing to begin with, but when I first started my apprenticeship I was working in a valley that only had a couple of radio stations and the only one I liked was a classic rock station. Apparently one of their DJs loved it though. They would play it every day at the same time, just when I was getting out of work and getting on the highway to head home. It ruined my afternoon for about a week until I realised they were going to play it everyday, and I just started my ride home in silence. It still irritates the shit out of me when I hear it now.

Oh! I got a similar story. My first roommate in college had a Police CD, Every time you got in it started at the first song, Roxanne... He NEVER changed the CD.

I never was a big fan but by the end of the year I hated that song.

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

it is such a pathetic song....remember that one time that guy did a thing and we just died laughing? remember that? That was cool....

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

I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night.

But also so many more.

Jump, van Halen.

4′33″. I hate that melody and would rather just listen to silence.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

My Buddhist friend thinks it's catchy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same, I randomly hear it in my head way too often

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Every time I try to remember how it goes, I can't hear it over my tinnitus.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Since I choose, am I aware of the song being gone afterwards? Can I choose a Beatles song that the world loves and then “write” it and profit from it? (See the movie “Yesterday”.) It’s interesting that a lot of answers are “get rid of the song that I don’t like. Okay, I get that. But! If I’m aware that the song is gone afterwards, I’d choose whatever the most sung religious song is just to see what that affects.

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] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gotcha. And, fair enough. I now choose “Stairway to Heaven” so that the world forever debates Tenacious D’s “Tribute” and what song it could be about. ** laughs in Jack Black **
