What song best describes humanity?

[DRTJR]

in the year 2525

 

[Sporky111]

War is the Answer by Five Finger Death Punch. I think the title says it all, and it's been proven by history over and over again.

 

[Dangerbean]

CIV IV theme.

[Eldritch Warlord]

The Halo theme song.

Because what can you say about humanity but "uhhh"?

 

[Shock and Awe]

 

[Noremacv]

My asshole answer: Down With the Sickness, by Disturbed
My honest answer (funnily enough, I also want it to be the song at my funeral, lol): Ordinary Day, by Great Big Sea

 

[butterkniferampage]

Maxwell's Silver Hammer. By the Beatles.

 

[Chaos-Spider]

To forecast Earth's destruction, this.

Because it's the end of our world as we know it, and I feel fine.

I was thinking of Zombie by the Cranberries upon seeing the title. But this song would be a very funny one to choose considering the circumstances.

Also Slime Creatures from Outer space by Weird Al Yankovic, as an account of how we met our end by achieving the Alien contact we so desperately wanted.

 

[Klarinette]

GLaDOS - Still Alive.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer. By the Beatles.

Or this. I don't know why Beatles just make life worth living.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Move Along by the All American Rejects.

 

[HappyBurnination]

If we're contacting aliens? I'd go with Ziltoidia Attaxx by Devin Townsend.
To describe humanity?...War Pigs, Black Sabbath.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

ok, call me a nerd. but i think that we should send them an opera. they'll be so confused, they won't know what to do.

 

[blindthrall]

I'man Asshole - Denis Leary.

Was considering that. But it's more of an American thing.

Some really good ones though. Here's my No 2.

My asshole answer: Down With the Sickness, by Disturbed

Richard Cheese's version is better.

 

[Invaderbrim]

I forgot the artist, but I heard a hotel lobby jazz version of a song called People = Shit.

I thought it was hilarious.

Damn Humans...

I believe that you are reffering to Richard Cheese. Also you're a ninja.

OT:I would have to say something by The Beatles. Anything by The Beatles

 

[Steve the Pocket]

Honestly? "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

Because -- think about it -- a good half the time it's used in movies or something, it's meant to be an ironic counterpoint to how disturbing what's going on in the movie is, often at the hands of humans or human counterparts.

But sometimes it's not.

And sometimes it's open to interpretation.

But in every case, it's a very haunting song.
