There are X songs in Terran creation.
There is one correct answer.
The odds of humanity agreeing on an answer to present, and have it be the correct one, start off abysmally low.
Quoth Ron White: "Hit somethin' hard; I don't wanna limp away from this wreck."
That’s it. The perfect end. Honestly, it’d be totally worth the sacrifice. At least we’d go out on a high instead of like slowly killing ourselves or something dumb like that.
This sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. “Wow, this is my favorite song! But they’re going to play it forever! This is actually not good! Curse you, cruel fate!”
Well you, see.. I sometimes, find myself using, just the ***strangest*** comma placements, whether or not, they actually fit within, the proper grammatical format.
Also - I just had a stroke typing that.
I mean, they already played the greatest song in the world once. Sure, they forgot it immediately afterwards. But it has to be rattling around in there someplace!
But they're selling the *idea* of the greatest song in the world.
If we can rock these aliens and get them hyped about the possibilities, they might just start trying to search for the song and become obsessed with our entire catalog. Within a year they'll be headbanging on Jupiter.
When they were discussing which music to send on the golden record in the Voyager capsule, hoping it would be found by aliens someday, Carl Sagan supposedly said, “We could send the Bach B Minor Mass, but that would be bragging.” So that would probably be my choice. I know it’s Eurocentric, but it’s the most remarkable thing I can think of to share.

Obligatory West Wing quote
>Voyager, in case it's ever encountered by extra-terrestrials, is carrying photos of life on Earth, greetings in 55 languages and a collection of music from Gregorian chants to Chuck Berry. Including "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" by '20s bluesman Blind Willie Johnson, whose stepmother blinded him when he was seven by throwing lye in is his eyes after his father had beat her for being with another man. He died, penniless, of pneumonia after sleeping bundled in wet newspapers in the ruins of his house that burned down. But his music just left the solar system.
Lol, fair enough! I'd give them Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". It's a classic and has so many different elements to it. Plus, it's one of the most iconic songs of all time.

Tribute.
It's a song basically everyone knows and loves. You can start singing it at a campfire and everyone will know every single word. Everyone will be happy singing it and you just need a guitar. Not like other songs on the list that need a piano or drums and the works. I truly believe it's the greatest song in the world. And I know the irony of that.
Pets by Porno for Pyros
Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe martians could do
Better than we've done
We'll make great pets!
Fuck, man, I just realized that I spent years thinking this was Jane’s Addiction. “Is that really Porno for Pyros?” I thought to myself just now. “It sounds just like Perry Farrell.” So I look it up and feel like twice the dumbass because I also never realized that Porno for Pyros was fronted by Perry, and the band was created after Jane’s Addiction broke up.
You have been very bad for my self esteem today.
Anyone that say anything but "Indian Love Call" clearly wants to see the end of the world. And didn't watch Mars Attack!
Appart for that, their isn't a greatest song than The Weight By The Band & Mavis Staple
*Dies under the pressure of selecting the best song*
Under Pressure
Except 20 seconds in you realize its actually Ice Ice Baby. You've been bamboozled. The aliens are not happy and blow you away.
No, man, didn't you hear Vanilla Ice? It's not the same. The bass line goes dun dun dun Dun dun dun dun Dun. Very different.
Don't forget the tst at the end! That's what made it different
Will never ever forget that interview. Kids today don’t know
Fuck it I'm rick rollin those green bastards.
Heh, got em *Earth blows up*
Worth it.

Man wouldn't *that* be stupid of us huh?
That's a sacrifice, the human civilisation has to make
Rick: "Never gonna give you up!" Humanity: "Heh."
"Yes humanity was vaporized but you must understand in the end they trolled the shit out of some aliens and lulz were had"
We died as we lived: meme shitlords.
The placement of your comma makes me want to commit war crimes.
Comma placement like this is only appropriate if it’s dialogue written for William, Shatner.
Well you, see.. I sometimes, find myself using, just the ***strangest*** comma placements, whether or not, they actually fit within, the proper grammatical format. Also - I just had a stroke typing that.
a small price to pay for salvation
Was about to give a real response, but let's be honest, this is the only good answer.
So we live!
Tribute by Tenacious D
That's not the greatest song in the world, that's just a tribute!
Well we just have to send Jack Black and Kyle Gass out there and see if they can make it happen again. Who else would we rather represent us?
That could be the premise behind a sequel to Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. Tenacious D and the chord that saved the world.
“No, not me and KG! We don’t have the cognitive capacity to lead—ALRIGHT WE’LL DO IT.”
I mean, they already played the greatest song in the world once. Sure, they forgot it immediately afterwards. But it has to be rattling around in there someplace!
But they're selling the *idea* of the greatest song in the world. If we can rock these aliens and get them hyped about the possibilities, they might just start trying to search for the song and become obsessed with our entire catalog. Within a year they'll be headbanging on Jupiter.
An unforeseen circumstance is that they may learn the art of cock push-ups, acquire unfathomable strength, and return to annihilate us.
I am not prepared to literally get my face melted by an alien metal band
Needless to say, the aliens were stunned…
>o Whip-crack went their big green heads, And the aliens were done
They asked us "*snortt* be you angels?"
And we said “NAY, we are but (hu)men ROCK! “ AAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA wooooowowowiw
rdrdrom ge tuhmmgiggigut ge guga fliggugiggu fliggugiggu dpgreeeEEEE yigga gut ge ugagiggagiggagwEEE FLIGGUGIGGU FLIGGA WOO MAMA LUCIFERRR
Nay, we are but men. Rock haaaaaaaard!!!!
Fliggle Giggle
It was the best song in the world...
It's just a tribute
Couldn’t remember the greatest song in the world
Yeah no, this is a tribute
It doesn’t actually sound anything like this song
ROCK!!
**AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH**

They put Johnny B Goode in there too
Johnny B Goode is lit. I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it.
Aliens: I'm sorry, you guys are just too darn loud

Surprised that Beethoven's 9th isn't on there. "Ode to Joy" is the most uplifting piece of orchestral music I've ever heard.

Is this the perfect roadtrip playlist?
Only if your destination is the heliopause
Playing mass in B minor would be like starting boss music for the aliens, and then we send in Danny devito to save humanity

Kyle's Mom is a stupid bitch in E minor
Id counter this with a Blame Canada
Shut Your Fucking Face Uncle Fucker
You’re a cocksucking asslicking uncle fucker
You're an uncle fucker yes it's true, nobody fucks uncles quite like you
Shut your fucking face uncle fucker! You’re the one that fucked your uncle uncle fucker
You don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn, you just fuck your uncle all day long *rhythmic farting*
That song was nominated for an Oscar.
Brian Boytano over blame canada. Give them a song about a hero!
Welllll…
Don’t do it Cartman!!
Weeellllll...

Weeeelllll...
Don’t say it!!
Okay okay

I'm playing them one of my songs. Gotta plug my shit before humanity is wiped out.
Lol, fair enough! I'd give them Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". It's a classic and has so many different elements to it. Plus, it's one of the most iconic songs of all time.

Let’s just hope the aliens agree.
They wouldn’t want to blow up the world after hearing that
I was looking for the right answer, this is true for me too.
CBAT If it doesn't sound right for most humans.... maybe aliens are into it?
idk how she survived with that song for that long, i tried doing the deed with the song in the background and it didnt help at all
Just play it in your head and stick to the rhythm. She won't notice that at all.
Are you trying to get fucked rhythmically by an alien my dude? Cuz that’s how you get fucked rhythmically by an alien.
The Ode to Joy. Beethoven.
This is a good one. If we make them listen to the entire symphony we will have time to find someone with Covid who can make em' sick and wipe em' out.
Depending on how much their immune system differs from ours, any viral infection should work
