I recommend the failure horns from the Price is Right.
The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

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.

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.

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

He doesn’t deserve it. I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Waste of good piss

I’m not so sure. Get a few dozen full honey trucks that have been roasting in the sun for a few weeks, and have ‘em unload on him. That seems like a fitting purpose for sewage.

It’s not for him, it’s for everyone who had to survive.

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 2 months ago
How about “Witch, watch, the ding dong’s dead” instead?
leadore@lemmy.world 2 months ago
How about “Celebration” by Kool & the Gang?

That’s what I’ll be playing, that’s for sure!

Idk but do you think his burial place will be accesible by the General public? Id like to plan shitting on it.
Wilco@lemm.ee 2 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.
P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 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.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 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!
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 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 2 months ago
I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.

I’d put good money on there already being some pretty good bangers waiting in the vault.
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
“Bangers in the Vault”, another British classic about Margaret Thatcher.
collapse_already@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

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.

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

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)

We could always adopt “Lizzie’s in a box”
Abnorc@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It’d be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.
GroundedGator@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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…

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.
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 months ago
We’d be a little late to the party, think she’s been dead for a while.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 months ago
We should commission something good.
I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.
SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Sure there is: Highway to Hell. He will be on a highway to hell - in the passing lane.

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.
starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 months ago
All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.

I worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO’s name around like it was a pass to commit murder.
Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting “ding dong! the witch is dead!” It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.
That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.
lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah that’s the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.
madame_gaymes@programming.dev 2 months ago
Exactly, you get what I’m trying to say.
datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Is the ban hammer a firing, or was she just kicked from the company servers?
madame_gaymes@programming.dev 2 months ago
It was a firing, but also booted from the company servers
