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 United States of America National Anthem.

Oh, probably this song or one like it:

Yes, it was a real song, published in London in 1900.

No idea how it's called but the one that goes like "maya hi,maya ho, maya ha, maya ha ha"

I hate that song with a burning passion of thousand suns.

[–] Kabaka@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 hours ago

Wow, this is what's below this post in my feed.

Also, it's "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone and you better not erase it.

Happy birthday song.

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

Dude Looks Like a Lady by Aerosmith

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 12 points 10 hours ago

"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.

Title and all? I would pick . If anyone disagrees, you're lying.

Queen's Radio Ga-Ga so I won't have PTSD about it anymore. When I was 19, I worked on a cruise ship that was still in the final stages of construction and at one point they were testing the PA system by playing that song, on repeat, for seven whole fucking days.

Kokomo. It's just the worst.

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 hours 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.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours 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.

[–] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago

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 **

The Song That Never Ends—we’ll finally rescue all those people who started singing it not knowing what it was.

Beverly Hills - Weezer

I actually quite like Weezer, but goddamn that song drives me nuts for some reason I can't put my finger on. A close second is Bubbly - Colbie Caillat, in large part because of the line "I get the tingles in a silly place". It's such a deranged way to say you're horny.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I think Beverly Hills is supposed to be grating. Like the people from Beverly Hills.

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.

No one's gonna say that marraiah carrey christmas song? Ok i'll say it, tha marraiah carrey Christmas song.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

Hello sorcerer. Please erase "Man, I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain. It annoys me anyway, but it not like it makes being a woman sound especially inspiring either ("Colour my hair, do what I dare" - woah, slow down there Shania!). Thanks.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago

So shall it be done.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

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