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

    We should commission something good.

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

      Sure there is: Highway to Hell. He will be on a highway to hell - in the passing lane.

    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)

    May I suggest the orchestra song from Joey Quits? https://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”

    So I hadn’t heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funeral-playlist/

    Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
