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 traditional “birthday song”.
That Mariah Carey Christmas song every single retail worker hates
It would be irresponsible not to.
Entry of the Gladiators
If that song had never existed
Which military march would get turned into clown music?
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.
Either the British or American national anthems, they’re both pretentious as fuck and it’d be kinda interesting to see if something like that has knock on effects down the line.
I’d say the American one because as a British person, I haven’t sung ours once in my entire life but Americans seem to sing theirs for everything.
Because it’s already starting again, “Last Christmas”. Fuck that garbage piece of shit song that’s ruining the lives of everyone that has to work in retail during Christmas.
That was far the from the worst IMO, The 12 Days of Christmas played 3 times in a row by 3 different singers once, I almost quit on the spot.
I love this song.
I’m very happy for you.
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
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.
obligatory link to the Zalinki video
i listen to that all year
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?
Happy Birthday, just because it’ll be interesting to see what we all choose to do instead of singing that song.
It’ll be just like movies and TV shows for the 80 years that Warner/Chappell music claimed they owned the rights. Most of them will probably be variations of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”
The goddamn Macarena.
The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.
All I want for Christmas - Mariah Carrey
This.
I am so sick of that goddamn song.
She’s defrosting…
They did. You’re welcome.
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.
Last Christmas by Wham!
