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)

No one’s gonna say that marraiah carrey christmas song? Ok i’ll say it, tha marraiah carrey Christmas song.
Everyone in retail will worship you.
Then you’ll get all the remixes of Feliz Navidad instead.
At least they’re remixes with some fucking variation
I want the retail stores to play something with more gusto, like I Believe in Father Christmas (by Greg Lake, sounds a bit different than the name suggests)
Nah, there are a lot of retail songs waaayyyy more annoying than that one that would just take its place. At least that one has some talent involved lmao.
Last Christmas is a close contender tho
obligatory link to the Zalinki video
i listen to that all year
I will never forgive the Apple rep who came into our retail store and loaded up the store Homepod with A PLAYLIST OF SIXTY THREE DIFFERENT FUCKING RENDITIONS OF THAT CUNTING SONG and then locked it out so we couldn’t change it back to normal human music. Said it was his favourite song.
I made a complaint and never saw him again. I’ve never seen an entire store’s staff hate life more.
But then you’d ruin Christmas for the cyber goths… https://youtu.be/eJc6-DgaQa0?si=M1w4RWEBfHW1_l3v
This is the way.
The “oh no oh no” high pitched “song” from TikTok that plays from my mom’s phone when I’m about to sleep
Ask her to use headphones?
We don’t own any
That’s a shame, maybe ask her to turn it down a little or watch videos with subtitles then?
1-877-CARS-4KIDS
K.A.R.S CARS FOR KIDS
1-877-CARS 4 KIDS
DONATE YOUR CAR TODAY
runs screaming off a cliff, smiling through tears
K a r s cars for kids?
They’re kids, not English professors
Sorry, whenever I read the phone number 1 877 Kars for kids, it needs to be spelled incorrectly, just in case someone wanted to donate their car today. If they’re going to spell it wrong I’m the phone number it should be spelled wrong in the lyrics. I didn’t realize the op had spelled out the phone number correctly XD
Now accepting donations of land, buildings, and other forms of real estate!
Can I please donate the real estate this occupies in my brain.
1000%
You know all you’re donating to is to keep funding kids sitting in yeshivas so they can get indoctrinated to become Hasidic leeches off society. That’s where it actually goes.
Baby Shark. The entire time that ducking song was making it’s rounds through society, I managed to avoid it. I knew it was repetitive and awful, and through good fortune and luck, it missed me completely.
Then I watched the new season of Umbrella Academy. Those motherfuckers.
The story of Baby Shark is kind of interesting. It used to be a camp song in the 90s. It didn’t become ridiculously popular until the infamous YouTube video that everyone knows. Various people and institutions have tried to sue for ownership, but it was ruled public domain. Anyone can release their own version of Baby Shark if they want.
*motherduckers
The US national anthem. People will stand around before sporting events knowing that they used to do something but are mystified they can’t remember what.
Happy Birthday
Somebody just posted this image in another Ask and I thought it was relevant:
Damn! I was going to say American Pie but I think you’ve got the better answer but I don’t want to hear either of these songs ever again.
All I want for Christmas - Mariah Carrey
This.
I am so sick of that goddamn song.
She’s defrosting…
The Song That Doesn’t End—we’ll finally rescue all those people who started singing it not knowing what it was.
But they’ll continue singing forever, they just won’t know what they’re singing anymore.
I’d improvise one on the spot. just to prevent the erasure of others’ art. Nah, fuck that; Baby Shark can die.
Baaaaby SHARK! Do-da-dooo, baby SHark……
I’d made it so long without hearing that song until it popped up in Umbrella Academy. Streak ruined.
4′33″. I hate that melody and would rather just listen to silence.
Same, I randomly hear it in my head way too often
Every time I try to remember how it goes, I can’t hear it over my tinnitus.
My Buddhist friend thinks it’s catchy.
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.
Are you sure it was a cruise ship and not some sort of squid game shit? Because that sounds like actual torture.
If there was anyone else aboard NCL’s Pride of America before it left dry dock in Bremerhaven around 2004/2005 that is also on Lemmy, they’d be able to back me up. But there is a good chance everyone else who suffered with me is locked in the loony bin from having heard Radio Ga-Ga for a week.
Oh, probably this song or one like it:
Yes, it was a real song, published in London in 1900.
fuck, it gets worse the longer you look at it.
“…he sold the wool from off his head” wtf
Thanks, I hate it.
There are a few explicitly racist songwriters from more recent times that don’t have any historical aspect.
At first, I was going to pass on destroying music, but then I remembered the anger I feel any time I have to see Peter Pan because, in part, the fucking racist shit that is What Makes the Red Man Red. Maybe I could work out a deal to erase the entire movie…
Before anyone attempts to defend it with, “it was a product of the times”, know that the play Peter Pan is based on was considered shockingly racist at the time and Disney’s solution to that was to double down on the racism so that nobody would take it seriously.
Peter Pan is a very weird movie. Peter himself is pretty questionable.
“Last Christmas”
Definitely that one. Since I can select the radio station without taking the hands of the steering wheel, it is “next station” as soon as it starts.
My wife loves it, I hate it with passion.
It’s strange. It’s for me like All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.
The first time it’s played at Christmas time I get in the mood. The following times I want to throw out my radio.
