would you buy a song like this
would it contribute to the value of a homestuck volume
you should tell radiation/andrew, if so
be honest

A little bit of fandom history: Dave's Phat Beat Machine, the actual real thing instead of the static image they replaced it with after Flash died, has four secret buttons with extra music you find after selecting the four corner buttons on the machine. Somewhat unusually, the flash does indeed pull music directly from external sites which have stopped working over the years. By looking into the flash itself you can see the intended music for each button. From left to right:

Harlequin. This one still works, as it links back to MSPA. Reused from the Act 2 walkaround, actually.

The Captain Planet closing credits. Visiting this link now redirects you to a redesigned Warner page instead.

Ghostbusters theme song from some random-ass page that no longer exists.

Same deal as above, but for I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing (as an Armageddon reference)... This link actually works! But.. it's playing a different song??
Well, it turns out that from early 2019 all the way through the death of Flash at the end of 2020, fans managed to purchase this domain name and sneakily changed the song that plays to this very song! The link is still active, although of course it's pretty difficult to actually get Flash to run on your computer these days.
