It's the End of the World as We Know It: 25 Songs for Judgment Day

May 20th 2011 1:15PM


According to engineer-turned-biblical scholar Harold Camping, we're all doomed on May 21, 2011. People have been talking about the end of time since, well ... pretty much the beginning of time; but so far only the dinosaurs have taken a hit. Still, it gives songwriters good fodder for songs about the ultimate encore. So, with our deadline fast approaching, we present our playlist to get prepped for the apocalypse.
'Apocalypse Please'
Muse (2003)
Current doomsday prophets might want to give this Muse song a close listen. The lyrics refer to religious fanatics who hope their D-Day predictions come true so their beliefs will be confirmed.

Doomed Lyric: "This is the end of the world, it's time we saw a miracle / Come on, it's time for something biblical"
