Just ask what my favourite song is
I’ve never heard of it, who is it by?
The ultimate Rick Roll.
I too watched Rick and Morty some years ago.
Final countdown.

If it’s to persuade the alien of the value of humanity, I’d probably go with The Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams. It’s beautiful, and also 15 minutes long, giving us some time to think of a plan in case they don’t like it.
If it’s just, what’s your favourite song, it’d be So. Central Rain by R.E.M.
There’s a high chance I get executed as a traitor to humanity, but I couldn’t live with myself if I skipped the chance to send this to aliens as part of first contact: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Achy Breaky Heart.
I’m not playing to win.Maybe it’s better to pick progressive rock from the 60s or 70s, the times we thought about space with intrigue and imagined the whole other world would be built by now. Maybe Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd would be a fit.
Yet, I’d go with Assembly of Light - Transition. Besides my preferences, the eclectic nature of this song (thing as ancient as chorus vs pretty modern drone of morbidly overtuned guitar) may demonstrate, how we are too a complex of seemingly incompatible things. Emotionally, it feels like a relief after overcoming a struggle, a thing that I find is pretty universal to all beings. And it also doesn’t have lyrics, so there won’t be any misunderstanding.

I’m a sucker for israel kamakawiwo’ole so either his cover of somewhere over the rainbow or mona lisa
