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)

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.

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.

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.
