    The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.

      I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.

          I remember the first time my then-girlfriend, who was American, heard God Save the Queen while here in the UK. It was an instrumental version and she had no idea why they were playing My Country 'tis of Thee in a situation where you would expect a national anthem

            Even our “anthem” is a white supremacist poem slapped on top of an old British drinking song. How apt. A country of drunken racists.

      I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

      Depends on the crowd. I did this song once because I was just so excited to see it (any Mountain Goats, really) available.

      The crowd absolutely loved it. People at the front row singing along, having a great time. A guy thanked me after. Surreal. Like a “then everybody clapped” moment.

      Must have been a bunch of Moral Orel fans, I guess? Or, I suppose after people butchering Bohemian Rhapsody all night, this was the palate cleanser. Who knows.

    The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.

    Right now, as someone not from the US, star spangled banned would ruin the evening more than anything else I could think of. Everyone can recognize it, arguments would follow.

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you’ll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
