New addition to “nuke a song from existence”: you may also now elect a song to be a national anthem

- for your country of origin (have more than one? Congrats you have both but don’t go overboard)
- you can’t nominate it for other countries, eliminating my Van Halen’s Panama for Panama suggestion
- no regional anthems: Neil Diamond is banned within the commonwealth of Massachusetts and I will extend that to southern NH and RI if need be

nuke: Love Shack

New anthem: Nutbush City Limits, forcing every sports team to do the Nutbush as a pre game warm-up :australia:

That "I'm proud to be an American" song. I thought that song was dead and gone but I learned the hard way it isn't in my personal life and it was a popular song during Trump rallies and speeches.

I have heard a lot of lovely songs over the years, but gently caress the Universe for wanting a 8 year old child to become deeply depressed over a *song*. And a really, really crappy song at that. There is no earthly reason for that song to exist AT ALL.

I petition Reality for that song to be wiped from all human memory, on the grounds that I suspect its removal would usher in a Utopia where flying cars actually exist.

God that song loving sucks, but mostly I just want to delete the features that let people pick default music for tiktoks and such. You need to have the song to use it, otherwise gently caress you.

That's a real toss-up between Satellite by Dave Matthews or Money for Nothing by Dire Straights. For decades, either of those gets my car stereo open-palm slapped within the first three notes. I guess Money for Nothing because although I don't listen to radio much, it still gets airplay locally whereas none of the stations I listen to play DMB.

Runners up would be any of the "stomp-clap-stomp-clap"-folk-rock of the 2010's. Any song, doesn't matter.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
As much as I'd like to eliminate these:

- A few Christmas songs - At least they only get played during the Holiday so I can deal with most of them. I never worked retail but I can understand those that worked retail and hate certain songs because of overexposure. Christmas Shoes is barely played anymore during the Holiday season at least.
- Some songs created just to sell products like vitamin water and tampons. I'm looking at you Baba O'Reilly, Feel It Still, and Believer

I can only choose one, eh?

Gonna have to go with Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann.

I love this song b/c of how all the people who love it so much and identify with it completely miss the point of the song and don't realize it's making fun of the kind of people the song is about

e: relevant good read:
https://www.stereogum.com/1954631/flagpole-sitta-at-20-a-conversation-with-harvey-dangers-sean-nelson/interviews/tracking-down/


"The thing that makes me most comfortable about the fact that “Flagpole Sitta” has stuck around is that it is really conscious of the fact it is a piece of garbage in the same way that everything in pop culture is a piece of garbage. I don’t mean to say our song that we wrote in our practice space in 1996 is a piece of garbage, because we loved it. We took what we did pretty seriously, maybe more seriously than we deserved to, but, like, once a thing is on the radio and on MTV, it’s a piece of garbage, because that’s how it is consumed."


"STEREOGUM: Was the title something you came up with in five seconds and just left it, or was there a joke to it?

NELSON: There was definitely a joke to it. It was sort of about people wrestling with the idea of wanting to be authentic while both not being authentic and expressing themselves in a way that made authenticity sound idiotic. So I thought, what is a conspicuous example of a trend that once existed and exists no more?"
