Thatcher's death prompts chart success for Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead
The death of Margaret Thatcher has made an unlikely top 10 hit out of Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead, 74 years after it first appeared in the soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz.
Propelled by a campaign on Facebook, the song is number 10 in the midweek charts, published on Wednesday, and is on course to be one of the top three sellers by the end of the week.
There has been a surge in downloads of the song, which has been appropriated by the former prime minister's critics since her death on Monday, aged 87.
While many people were mourning her loss, others were quick to celebrate. A Facebook campaign, called "Make Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead number one the week Thatcher dies", launched on Monday.
The Official Charts Company said the song, credited to Judy Garland, had been bought more than 10,600 times by midnight on Tuesday.
There was also a small increase in sales for a 1961 cover version of the song, sung by Ella Fitzgerald, which just nudged into the top 150.
The Official Charts Company said the Garland version of the song was around 5,000 sales away from a place in the top three selling singles of the week.

Second, the news that bin Laden was found in a lavish mansion just outside Islamabad — in a suburb that is the richest of the entire country of Pakistan — and guarded by dozens if not hundreds of minions, shows that Pakistan has been at least partially assimilated by the global jihadist movement. There is no way in God’s green earth that some part of official Pakistan — the military, the intelligence agencies, or the political class — was not somehow involved in protecting bin Laden from detection and capture. Punishing Pakistan is not the point, but rather that the country is much further along in its slide toward extremism and perhaps even civil war and needs more, not less, assistance from us.
It was said that a tragic event had occurred, something that had caused her heart to harden and her spirit to darken. From that moment on, she became consumed by her thirst for power and revenge. The witch's demise had happened unexpectedly, leaving many in shock. It was said that she had ventured into a forbidden part of the forest, searching for a rare and powerful ingredient. Some believed that she had gotten lost and met her end in the labyrinthine paths of the forest. Others thought that she had been bewitched by her own greed and arrogance. Regardless of the cause, the witch's departure left a void in the forest. The creatures who had once feared her now felt a sense of emptiness, as they had become accustomed to her presence. They had relied on her for protection from other wicked beings and for her magical assistance when in need. The forest itself seemed to mourn her passing as trees drooped and flowers wilted. Some wondered if the witch's death marked the end of an era. Would there be another sorcerer or sorceress to take her place? Or would the forest now be left vulnerable to the dangers that lurked in its shadows? Only time would tell. For now, the forest remained still and silent. The witch had gone to meet her maker, and with her, she took the secrets of her dark magic and the torment in her heart. Whether she would find redemption or eternal damnation was a question left unanswered. What remained was the legacy she had left behind, both the good and the evil. It was up to those who survived her reign to determine the path the forest would now take..
Reviews for "Unraveling the Witch's Mystery: Tracing Her Connection to Her Maker"
- John Doe - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with "The witch has gone to meet her maker". The plot was confusing and hard to follow, with too many random twists and turns that didn't make sense. The characters were poorly developed and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with any of them. The pacing was off, with certain scenes dragging on for far too long while others felt rushed and unresolved. Overall, I found this book to be a frustrating and unsatisfying read.
- Jane Smith - 2/5 - "The witch has gone to meet her maker" had an interesting concept, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The writing style was dry and lacked emotion, making it hard to become fully absorbed in the story. The author seemed to focus more on describing mundane details rather than building tension or creating a compelling atmosphere. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult for me to connect with the characters or care about their fates. While I appreciate the effort, I cannot recommend this book.
- Sarah Thompson - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "The witch has gone to meet her maker" based on the intriguing premise, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The book was slow-paced and lacked any real excitement or suspense. The characters felt one-dimensional and their motivations were unclear. The writing style was also quite dry and didn't draw me in or evoke any emotions. Overall, while it had potential, I found this book to be a rather mediocre and forgettable read.
