In case NASA is totally wrong and the world does end sometime today a reporter from The Daily Reflector asked local officials what song they would add to an “End of the World” playlist:

Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas — “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye,” Steam

Pitt County Sheriff Neil Elks — “It’s the End of the World as We Know It,” R.E.M. or “There You Are,” Lonestar

Pitt County Schools Superintendant Beverly Emory — “Amazing Grace,” sung by Elvis Presley

East Carolina University’s Chief of Staff Phillip Rogers — “I Will Rise,” Chris Tomlin

ECU’s Brody School of Medicine Dean Paul Cunningham — “Every Little Thing Gonna Be All Right,”
Bob Marley or “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,”
Bobby McFerrin;

Pitt County District Attorney Clark Everett — “Anything by Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj or Justin Bieber. Compared to that, the end of the world wouldn’t be so bad.”
