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.

      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.

    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.

    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 made it so long without hearing that song until it popped up in Umbrella Academy. Streak ruined.

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

      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.

      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.

    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.
