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)

          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

      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.

    The American national anthem, please.

    It’s such a terrible song, and it keeps getting sung in weird ways by bad singers. I swear, as a non-american I’m subjugated to it more often than all other national anthems combined, including my own.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      I was under the impression that this is a misconception about the songs meaning.

      At the time women would be expected to say no outright and go home. To say they have to leave, instead of having autonomy and being promiscuous.

      So in the song the woman wants to stay but is following the societal expectation to say they need to leave and the man is giving her all the excuses she could use to explain why she didnt leave, so people wouldnt suspect her of staying over to have sex.

      These days that expectation is not there so the song is interpreted in a different way and sounds super rapey.

      To be clear. I am not advocating for this old way of thinking, nor am i saying i know the explanation i have given is true. I am only telling what i have heard and felt like to me that actually makes a lot of sense in the right context.

      Basically, women wanted to be able to have sex with anyone they wanted, but people would look down on them for doing it. So, to avoid being ostracised, they would avoid situations like that.

      But again. I may be wrong. I have just heard this explanation and wanted to share.

        It was also written to be performed at the end of a party when they were telling the guests they didn’t have to go home but they couldn’t stay there

          this song is a perfect example of tone deafness where a person doesn’t take a few steps back to reread how their lyrics land in pretty much most scenarios it is going to be received . Particularly in situations at the time for gender and how consent was pretty much frowned upon as a form of slut shaming or that men don’t have to take ‘no’ as an answer.

      Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

      It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.
