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.
Freebird. It’s the audio equivalent of Hookworm.
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”
Black Hole Sun
The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.
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.
Rule Brittania would be a good one to rid history of.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna get rolled again
The goddamn Macarena.
Bohemian rhapsody - it’s one of the greatest songs ever made, just curious to see how it would retard the progression of music.
Pachelbel’s canon in D for reasons explained here
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
Thriller.
Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack.
Oh my god!
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
