I'm trying to develop a list of songs about fear and calamity, bonus points if fun

We might as well have fun in this era of fear and devistation.

Any help with the list would be appreciated. We might break these down later and make a sprint of posts in later.

I think I'm a little metal heavy. I don't mean to be. It's what I know.

I like how they slowed down the smiths to make it sound dank, but even more doomer would be IMO.

The song is literally about how if time were measured in meaning and affection he might as well be feeling the soil being tossed on him.

That's pretty funny. I guess people will buy when they have to buy their right to associate. I guess that's more broad, "The solution sells, who's buying".

Also it's Megadeth - Peace Sells (for anyone clicking).

It fits in. In a way I was looking to build a Corona Virus play list. Probably I was too narrow in trying to find songs that parody the fear when that's only one aspect.

Definitely fits in with the general situation considering we have people marketing a solutions to a problem they created, or at least manufactured the sense of urgency.
