Surely it's got to be Bill Caddick's ' The Last Damn Song in the World'

Once Was The Time of Man - performed by the Limelighters, circa 1960, can't remember the author

Chorus: Once there were trees and a river.
Once there was grass where you stand.
Once there were songs about rights instead of wrongs.
Once was the time of Man.

Grass doesn't grow on the hillside.
Trees shrink and die in the sun.
No place to hide my little baby's eyes
From the damage the dead have done.

(Chorus)

They didn't know in the old times,
The earth and the seas were to share.
They didn't know in the old times,
For there...
Once were trees and a river.
Once there was grass where you stand.
Once there were songs about rights instead of wrongs.
Once was the time of Man.

Once was the time of Man.

According to Nostradamus, the 16th century French astrologer and physician, the world is due to come to an end on July 4th 1999.

Apart from Skeeter Davis, singing 'The End Of The World' and Nostradamus's own version of 'Ho Ho Ho, Who's Got The Last Laugh Now', what would be your choice to mark this occasion and be the last song the world ever heard?

I think my vote has to be for Monty Python's, 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life'.
