Judy Garland's 'Wizard Of Oz' song 'Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead' has reached number 22 on the iTunes downloads charts, just 24 hours after the death of Margaret Thatcher.
A campaign was started on Twitter and Facebook to get the song to number one in the charts, after many critics of the former British Prime Minister announced "the witch is dead" on Monday.
Following the news that the Iron lady had passed away from a stroke, people were urged to download the song, which features in the 1939 hit musical:
In the film, the song is sung by Judy Garland's Dorothy, the Munchkins and Glinda the Good Witch (played by Billie Burke) as they celebrate the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.
Coincidentally, the man who wrote the song - Oscar Award-winning Yip Harburg - was born on 8 April, the same day that Thatcher died.
During her time in Downing Street, some of Lady Thatcher's sternest critics were to be found not in Parliament but on the radio.
She inspired outrage and often outright hatred in a generation of musicians. Click here for our Top 10 of the best anti-Thatcher songs. Unsurprisingly, they're all from the 1980s.

뭐 사람 죽었는데 그렇게 좋아하냐고 하는 사람들 간혹 있다만
그녀가 죽인 사람들 생각하면(정확히 말하자면 그녀가 한 일들 때문에 죽은 사람들, 혹은 뭐 힘들어진 사람들)....... 진짜 솔직히 전 조금 좋아해도 된다고 생각합니다..... 암튼 제 생각은 그렇습니다.
그리고 왠지 이번주안에 1위가 될 것 같네요.
