Feels appropriate for this thread…little history lesson of a song that fits this category…

There's literally a song called "The Suicide Song" that was released in the pre-WWII (more Great Depression timeline I think) era in Hungary AKA the Hungarian Suicide Song called "Gloomy Sunday". If you google the original it's in Hungarian so you likely won't understand it but there's been English translations you can find…

Apparently the number of suicides that were related to this song became so much reported the song was banned on the radio at a certain point…and the original writer of it died of suicide some time later….

But if you go listen to it now (like I did) you'll likely think the same thing as I, "Really? This song did that? Pretty lame if you ask me…." But that was almost 100 years ago and during the Great Depression, so….different times different mindset….
