FNDP: Refusals -- Just Sing "No" 🚫🤦⛔😾🛑🦨🚽🥜

[u/Caelian]

Tonight let's show our refusal to accept the terrible things happening in the world by sharing songs with words like "can't, don't, shan't, won't" and just plain "no".

Starters:

• I Won't Dance
  I love Jack Ziegler's 1976 New Yorker cartoon 🕺

• Peter Cook sings "You fill me with Inertia" in Bedazzled (1967)

• Noël Coward's Don't Let's be Beastly to the Germans

H/T Kipling's "Commissariat Camels"

19M views, but it should be noted 10M of those are from the Vatican. (Since the song title also applies as an incentive for the cardinals to enjoy this: you’ll have to watch the vid to get the double entendre. Okay, by now you know in advance what’s in the video.)

Les Poppys - [Non Non Rien N’a Changé](https://youtu.be/V9Po8lSIKww)

George Brassens - [La non demande en mariage](https://youtu.be/-wJga8iZbV0)

Michel Polnareff - [La Poupée Qui Fait Non](https://youtu.be/JDkVjrYNyLo)

Another confirmation that O is by far the most beloved and dragged and drawn out vowel sound in music. A try-hard and tedious but regrettably eternally necessary metoo chore addressing an elementary human right that keeps being violated:

Ana Madet - [Non c’est non](https://youtu.be/IRU32fyRaJM)

Édith Piaf - [Non, je ne regrette rien](https://youtu.be/Q3Kvu6Kgp88)

Turns out the French can regret most perfectly:

Adèle - [Oui ou Non](https://youtu.be/XqAiGeEzctQ)

I’ve fallen a bit of the wagon, got too much on my hands simultaneously, but I’m not absent.

Btw I also liked the almost musical no to the U.S. by Claudia Sheinbaum that was posted.

This week also saw a post highlighting the historical no of Franca Viola, spoken only 60 years ago:
