Baby shark
Then I can still torture my enemies
Big “you’re trapped in here with me” energy
Just break the law. You’ve not stated what the sentence is and it doesn’t sound very enforceable
Killing in the Name - Rage Against The Machine
And, then continue to listen whatever I want.
Are other people allowed to hear our song when we play it? If so, I choose Macarena and then sell my attendance at parties and weddings and so on.
Big business brain
Is it illegal for me to hear any other person’s song? Can we co-ordinate? I think with the 8 billion of us we have around we might actually get close to covering the full library of human songs as long as none of us repeats. In that case then I don’t really care which one, I’m happy to be just assigned one to make none of us doubles up. Another question would be how well the human birth rate can keep up with number of new songs people come up with. If we can average out the rate of growth can we just assign any given new song to a registry so we don’t exceed that average and that mete out a new entry from the backlog in the registry to each person as they’re born? Maybe if we can assign a song to each person that has ever lived or at least who’s life was recorded we can add some resilience to account for unexpected low birth yields or something. I’m assuming a song is still “legal” after its person has died. If not it’ll be a bit more complicated.

My allotment would be taken up by my wife and kids. So I’d have to ask.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. I’ve always loved this song, it has a mix of different styles, from flute-forward chill sections to more classic rock sounding parts.
Oh and it’s over 43 minutes long. Before anyone says “oh but there’s part 1 and part 2”, this was a limitation of vinyl and not the artistic intent behind the piece. It’s one song, fight me.
When has something being illegal stopped anything?

(Pink Floyd - either Time or Another Brick In The Wall)
A really hard question, id have to go with a classic. Elton John’s Rocket Man.
This is the Song that Doesn’t End -Lambchops Play Along
This was my first thought, played endlessly in the vacinity of the idiots banning music.
If it’d never get old,
The Cranberries - Zombie
However, for a track that wouldn’t get old for me very quickly
VØJ, Narvent - Memory Reboot
Suuuuuch a good track. I instantly went to porcupine tree as well when I read the prompt.
John Cage - 4’33"
I think if I had only one song, I’d pretty quickly come to hate it. Although props to the commenter who said baby shark. Torture your enemies and become loved by children.
Peter Gabriel- In Your Eyes
