Most depressing songs
Originally composed by Hungarian Rezső Seress in 1933, Gloomy Sunday became known as "The Hungarian Suicide Song", inspiring an urban legend that linked it to countless suicides and a subsequent banning. Amongst the many artists who recorded a version, it was Billie Holiday (pictured) who really brought it to the masses (thankfully without inspiring mass suicide), and it can be heard at the start of Schindler's List. In a sad twist on the song's myth, Rezső Seress took his own life in 1968.
