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)

Mr. Brightside by the killers.... fuck that song, fuck that song so much. My hatred of that song extends to everything else the killers do without ever hearing them

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.

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

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.

For the sake of that one poor woman, please delete "cbat." It's done enough damage.

A Kid Rock song and there are so many good candidates I can't decide.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.
