"what's new pussycat" 14 times, with "it's not unusual" thrown in once to give them hope

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Beat me to it. I scrolled back just to post this and... Here you are.

β€œGod DAMmit.”

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

4'33" by John Cage repeated 15 times.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?

I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ohh yeah, they make one noise and we start again, I want half an hour minimum of silence from everyone, maybe they might look inside themselves and find the good person they're hiding or I'll get to not listen to people talk. Win win.

[–] ValiantDust 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is it. The day has come. This is my chance to rickroll the entire world in one go.

[–] abcde_fz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ooh! Ooh! Combine this with the John Cage! Play 4'33" fourteen times, then Astley for the 15th track.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

What's New Pussycat on repeat, with an It's Not Unusual thrown in sporadically

Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears repeated 14 times, with 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton tossed in once somewhere in the middle.

I imagine they’d feel like they were babysitting their good friend who was blackout drunk but still conscious and who said that β€œEverybody Wants to Rule the World” was a song that never fails to calm them down. All the while, they’d occasionally remember the feeling that they were doing a good thing by making sure their friend didn’t choke on their own vomit that kept reappearing every hour or so.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Tame Impala's Currents.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

For maximum hair-tearing insufferableness? Baby Shark x14 My Pal Foot Foot x1

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a mall up in Montreal, Canada, playing babyshark on repeat in stairwells to prevent homeless people from staying there. So far it's been cruelly effective.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Egad, I read about that but forgot. Now that you mention, I'm sure that's how the idea popped in my head. How awful 😞 Now I almost feel bad for joking about it.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You're a monster, but I think you knew that. ha

  1. Sell these musical slots to artists for a few million apiece

  2. Profit

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

15 different versions of Baby Shark that my daughter has on repeat.

I imagine the world would react negatively.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

15 different renditions of Popcorn.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you found the solution for world peace.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I remember reading about someone who listened to Popcorn for 24 hours and it had an effect on them.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Was the effect that he eventually popped?

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I listen to prog, so it'd be a looong playlist

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

Because I'm currently putting some effort to advance a story I'm working on and I have a playlist for miid setting, that would be it.

And it's mostly reggae, from the more classical to present day creation.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh my, it's melodeath day 🀘

Ram ranch, two trucks, alternating 7 times and then Alice’s restaurant once.

I believe this would result in a lot of mental breakdowns, and a newfound love of Arlo Guthrie.

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] just_ducky_in_NH@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

On the Group W bench!

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are these albums or songs of Arlo Guthery?

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

The last one is.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Probably the Book of Mormon original Broadway cast recording. But I'd have to cut out 1 song, that'd be difficult to choose which one.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

The album World Music Radio, by Jon Batiste

[–] mkhopper@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Because I wouldn't want people to kill me after the 24 hours is over... I would go with the Pink Floyd album, Meddle, mostly for Echoes (six tracks). Then the Jean-Michel Jarre album, Oxygène (another six). Then some good trip-hop tracks for something to move to.
Maybe Supreme Beings of Leisure, Ghetto. Moloko, Fun for Me. Morcheeba, Blood Like Lemonade.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

They'd think I came from an alternate universe. Video game soundtracks and some songs I made alongside some lostwave. The video game songs don't sound like they're from a game, and the rest are things they'd be unfamiliar with.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't know how they'd react, but here's the list I'd go with based on what I've been recently addicted to:

Escape Route by Free The Jester

Tongue Tied by Free The Jester

Shapeshifter by Nothing Shameful

Selkirk by Nothing Shameful

And probably one more to round it off:

Casulty by The Nixon Rodeo.

If people aren't a fan of small no-name bands, they might not like these talented groups and their songs, but I'm sure there are people out there who would absolutely love these indie(?) selections. I swear small no-name unrecognized bands have some of the best music.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait a minute. Is the lead vocals of Free The Jester the same Lead Singer of Not Green Day?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

No clue. Would have to look it up, which I'm gonna do because you got me curious.

Edit:

From a quick search, definitely seems like they might be. Never heard of Not Green Day, though. Crazy stuff if it's true.

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I highly recommend going to see Not.GreenDay if they have a show near you. I saw them this year and they definitely sound like the OG GreenDay. They also did a good job of getting the crowd involved and in high spirits.

i only need 1: Raining Tacos by Perry Gripp.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

we luv lama 24 hours version

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Merzbow - Pulse Demon
