In pre-war Eastern Europe there was a song called "Trista Dumineca", Gloomy
Sunday that is.
So sad was this song that listeners used to commit suicide before the song
was
over.
People who heard the song that is, went out in the middle of the concert ,
killed
themselves and came back to hear the rest of the song.

The song was therefore forbidden for public performances.

Gloomy Sunday :

It is autumn and the leaves are falling
All love has died on earth
The wind is weeping with sorrowful tears
My heart will never hope for a new spring again
My tears and my sorrows are all in vain
People are heartless, greedy and wicked...
Love has died!

The lyrics proved to be applicable a few years later.

Hardy
