The results are in, and "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" has failed to climb to the number one slot on British charts. It was just 5,700 copies behind Duke Dumont's "Need Me (100 Percent)" when the official tally was taken. Obviously, the 1939 classic did not just jump back into pop culture by coincidence. The song skyrocketed in popularity following the death of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. (The Iron Lady is a controversial figure in modern British history.) It was a coordinated effort led mainly by a Facebook campaign and ample amounts of rancor that picked up steam only a couple of days after Thatcher's death last week. theatlanticwire.com
