It only costs 79 cents, and it only last 51 seconds. It’s not a long song, but it’s an old song. It’s sung by the Munchkins, recorded in 1938. But “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead” is currently the number 1 track on iTunes in the U.K. This seems like an overreaction to the death of Margaret Thatcher, but nothing else will explain this odd turn of events. And it’s been number 1 for a day or more, so it’s not just a prank. The track comes from the soundtrack to “The Wizard of Oz.” Ah, the English have such an interesting sense of humor! http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10songs.html
