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 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.

    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 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.

      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.

        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.”

    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”
