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)

That Mariah Carey Christmas song every single retail worker hates
It would be irresponsible not to.
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.
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.
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.
The goddamn Macarena.
Oh, probably this song or one like it:
Yes, it was a real song, published in London in 1900.
Thanks, I hate it.
There are a few explicitly racist songwriters from more recent times that don’t have any historical aspect.
fuck, it gets worse the longer you look at it.
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.
Freebird. It’s the audio equivalent of Hookworm.
Rule Brittania would be a good one to rid history of.
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 “oh no oh no” high pitched “song” from TikTok that plays from my mom’s phone when I’m about to sleep
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”
Imagine by John Lennon
At last! Someone else hates it as much as I do.
It’s definitely a love it or hate it, I definitely hate it because it feels… half-hearted yet too try-hard
The more I learned about John Lennon the more I realized why I got bad vibes from the millionaire who abuses those closest to him because he’s rich and he can singing “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.”
Bird is the word, fuck that song and on a similar note, fuck Peter Griffin.
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.
