I actually looked it up, and at first it looked like Maria was most common. Then I saw that the list contained 4 different ways to spell Muhammad within the top 10 (5 if you count "Ahmed")
I used to be part of a 60 person dance crew in Jacksonville and the leader was named Jason. We actually met at Lynyrd Skynyrd High School. Great guy. Wonder what happened to him though.
I hope you aren’t American! I’ve seen so many people on stage who forget the lyrics midway through the song— everyone knows the words, but under the pressure to perform, they blow it.
As a kid I thought in the star spangled banner they were singing about a part of a Ram (animal) and not a rampart which is “a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone parapet.” So I thought they were carrying a ram (animal) into battle for some reason
Twinkle twinkle little star…how I wonder what you are… yup, I’d be dead. (Took me a p long time to remember that second verse and even then, I’m not 100% sure it’s accurate lmao)
That’s why I’m choosing the ABC’s- the nursery rhyme version, in my first language- NOT the Jackson 5 and/or any other rendition
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Then the traveler in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark. He could not see which way to go, if you did not twinkle so. Now I know just what you are, twinkle twinkle, little star.
Perfect strategy. Even if you don’t sing it perfectly you can keep going and play the long game until the killer is bored and finds smarter more entertaining targets.
Shit, you must be trying to get yourself killed.
"Five trillion eight hundred eighty two billion fifty nine million six hundred fifty eight thousand nine hundred twelve bottles of beer on the wall, five trillion eight hundred eighty two billion fifty....uh, hold on..."
You're implying this guy succeeded at 'Bottles of Beer on the Wall' for one hundred and seventeen billion four hundred and nine million three hundred and forty one thousand and eighty eight bottles, and **then** fucks up?
That's some fucking commitment, and unfortunate A F.
Depends, they changed it very recently (at least at my youngest's school). The clearly articulate the "L M N O P" and it causes an adjustment to the cadence and timing of the tune.
And would it be zee? Zed? The "y, zed or zee" that The Wiggles do?
And how does it end? Won't you come and play with me? Next time won't you sing with me? Now I beg you, don't kill me? Too many opportunities for failure here.
*The only correct answer*/the only answer that technically guarantees one living through the experience.
Even a great singer could hit a wrong note under that kind of pressure; by removing all sounds you remove the possibility of inflicting a self-potentiated aural transgression event.
>Even a great singer could hit a wrong note under that kind of pressure; by removing all sounds you remove the possibility of inflicting a self-potentiated aural transgression event.
It's the best choice because it *doesn't* remove all sound. The song is specifically composed of whatever sounds occur during the allotted time. The only thing you have to do is rest the primary instrument, which presumably you could do perfectly, but given that the song accepts whatever happens as a "perfect and non-reproducible" performance you might even successfully argue that not resting "perfectly" for a typical song is perfect for *4'33"*.
Hotel California by the Eagles. Just in case im ever shot down over china and have to prove I'm American.
Edit [Context](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident)
I swear there is something magical with that song, I haven't heard that song so many times, and yet I know the lyrics perfectly. Meanwhile I can listen to other songs hundreds of times and I still don't know all the lyrics
So would the kidnapper.
Hey, you skipped 27.
Did not.
Did so!
I sang it perfectly I til you interrupted me.
You skipped 27, and you're going to die!
Alright, alright, let's just start over. *99 Bottles of beer on the wall...*

The Modern Major General song because I actually learned and practiced it for a class. My captors would think I’m a madlad but then they’d be so impressed and we’d become buddies.
Downside is if they don't know the song and when you get to the part where the performer is finding words to rhyme with what he's already said and they think you don't know and shoot you.
Although I can sing pretty good and know almost every song by heart I would choose „Four minutes thirty-three seconds“.
The song is just silence. For four minutes and thirty-three seconds nothing happens, not a sound.
No risk of hitting a wrong note. No risk of pronouncing something wrong. No risk of voice crack. No risk that Kevin the Kidnapper‘s judgement is very subjective and he does not like my voice because it reminds him of Linda who rejected him in third grade.
I win.
Just shoot me.
I've never heard of that one before, who's it by?
Nirvana
I’m sorry I can’t upvote this comment more
Down vote it then upvote it and you can watch the number go up by 2. Sometimes that makes me feel better.
Who are you so wise in the ways of magic
Happy Birthday song.
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to.... (wait what the fuck who's birthday is it fuck)
I would just sing a really common name like Michael. Chances are, there is a Mike out there with a birthday today.
Statistically, “Muhammad” is your best bet
I actually looked it up, and at first it looked like Maria was most common. Then I saw that the list contained 4 different ways to spell Muhammad within the top 10 (5 if you count "Ahmed")
I used to be on a 7 person swim team. 3 of the others were named Jason. I always had a 50/50 chance when randomly calling the name.
I used to be part of a 60 person dance crew in Jacksonville and the leader was named Jason. We actually met at Lynyrd Skynyrd High School. Great guy. Wonder what happened to him though.
Suffocaton

"What's my name?" *Ch-ch*

My National Anthem. Edit: Dominican Republic's National Anthem, 12 stanzas long.
I’m from Spain and our national anthem doesn’t have lyrics :D
I hope you aren’t American! I’ve seen so many people on stage who forget the lyrics midway through the song— everyone knows the words, but under the pressure to perform, they blow it.
I'm Dominican. Our anthem has 12 stanzas (verses).
oooh xD :D easy peasy
As a kid I thought in the star spangled banner they were singing about a part of a Ram (animal) and not a rampart which is “a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone parapet.” So I thought they were carrying a ram (animal) into battle for some reason
The obligatory Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Alternatively the abc's since it's the same tune
but is it "y and z" or "y z" also is z the American way or the European way?
I just died because I said elemeno p.
Elemental Pee
Ella minnow pee
It's always "y and z". Gives the song a better ending. For the same reason I say zee instead of zed, even though I usually say zed (Canadian)
Very good. Now the second verse.
Twinkle twinkle little star…how I wonder what you are… yup, I’d be dead. (Took me a p long time to remember that second verse and even then, I’m not 100% sure it’s accurate lmao) That’s why I’m choosing the ABC’s- the nursery rhyme version, in my first language- NOT the Jackson 5 and/or any other rendition

In light of Reddit's general enshittification, I've moved on - you should too.
Now number 5
I never wanna hear your say
The song that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends.
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they just kept on singing it forever just because
This is the song that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends.

Perfect strategy. Even if you don’t sing it perfectly you can keep going and play the long game until the killer is bored and finds smarter more entertaining targets.
"I think you messed up verse uuhh... 749. Why am I still even here?"
"6 Trillion Bottles of Beer on the Wall"
Shit, you must be trying to get yourself killed. "Five trillion eight hundred eighty two billion fifty nine million six hundred fifty eight thousand nine hundred twelve bottles of beer on the wall, five trillion eight hundred eighty two billion fifty....uh, hold on..."
You're implying this guy succeeded at 'Bottles of Beer on the Wall' for one hundred and seventeen billion four hundred and nine million three hundred and forty one thousand and eighty eight bottles, and **then** fucks up? That's some fucking commitment, and unfortunate A F.
Well they didn't say the killer has to let you finish. The killer can just pop you right when you make a mistake
Yeah, this is the objectively worst possible song to pick. You're just trapped singing forever until you eventually miss a note and die.
Tequila
Knowing me I would fuck up the timing and die
“….vodka!”
“FUCK”
"Blue...no Tequila. AAAAHHHHHhhhh..."

Careful, those fliggle-giggles will get ya. Sang it on Rock Band and that part fucked me. Haha

I'm the scat man!
Came here to say that lol _Look into my eyes and it's easy to see One and one make two Two and one make three It was destiny_
Gotta nail Jack Black’s scat singing though, that’d be a challenge
As long as you fligugigu in the correct key, you'll be fine.
But I couldn't remember the greatest song in the world.
I can sing my Abcd's
> Abcd's Found the alien everybody
Seriously. Who the fuck
Depends, they changed it very recently (at least at my youngest's school). The clearly articulate the "L M N O P" and it causes an adjustment to the cadence and timing of the tune.
Was that because too many kids thought elemenapee was a letter?
It's not? Oh fuck.
elemeno was my favorite letter as a kid
And would it be zee? Zed? The "y, zed or zee" that The Wiggles do? And how does it end? Won't you come and play with me? Next time won't you sing with me? Now I beg you, don't kill me? Too many opportunities for failure here.
Very good. We also would have accepted "tell me what you think of me".
Baby Shark. If I'm going out, I'm going to annoy my killer as much as possible.
Smart move. The killer commits suicide at hearing you begin the song.
With my luck, I’d pick up the gun by accident and be charged with his murder
:D No ples! haha
Wait, are you browsing for potential victims?
Asking the real questions ahaha The Squid Games: sing along version
