The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

We can adapt one of theirs, how about “Tamp the dirt down” by Elvis Costello?

Something around there being a new toilet in the country but with the music from The Sound Of Music?
SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve been thinking “Dancing in the Street”

You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl, arise
And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize
I’ll still be here as strong as you
And I’ll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)

Perhaps they can use Lily Allen’s www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BpFqyxEDbo

May I suggest the orchestra song from Joey Quits? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A4UGtM4hDQ
Seems to have the kind of celebratory vibe that would be warranted

It’s gotta be something kids can sing. But what’s another way of saying orange fuck ass motherfucker in a socially acceptable way?

We could always adopt “Lizzie’s in a box”
Abnorc@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It’d be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.

So I hadn’t heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. motherjones.com/…/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funer…
collapse_already@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.
harmsy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How about “Witch, watch, the ding dong’s dead” instead?
Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn’t work.

All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.

I’m pretty sure when he keels over it’ll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.
leadore@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How about “Celebration” by Kool & the Gang?
Agrivar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s what I’ll be playing, that’s for sure!

Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?

Idk but do you think his burial place will be accesible by the General public? Id like to plan shitting on it.
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
But first, put on a bunch of corpse flower sculptures on it so people know where to shit and piss.
roofuskit@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.
Wilco@lemm.ee 11 months ago
You will get arrested for public nudity. Package it up beforehand and spread/drop it.
I will be bottling urine myself so I can piss on his grave. We may bump into each other.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I want to get arrested when I shit Taco Bell diarrhea all over his headstone. Need to have official proof that I did it!
P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t want to make your noble task more unpleasant… But have you considered concentrating it down a bit? Less hassle, more pee scent!

I was thinking catheter and some tubing down the leg with a valve at the end.

Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump…
For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon…
There’s some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

I recommend the failure horns from the Price is Right.

I just looked that up, and… TIL where that sound clip came from.

It would be HILARIOUS if a military band did that instead of playing Hail to the Chief. He gets off Air Force One and you just hear Fum fum fu fuuum, DUUUUURG.
Tramort@programming.dev 11 months ago
I could not for the life of me remember what the price is right failure horn sounded like.
Then I read your comment and it was like a bolt into my soul.
Well done, sir.

We should commission something good.
I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.
