It'd be more acceptable, but I'd still see it as
abusable. Have a party with 2 bards in it. One bard sits at
the zone, other plays with the group. If group gets in
trouble, bard at zone fires off this song, then everyone
zones. Arguably better than evac, especially with a 3 second
"casting time."

Well, MMM increases entropy - takes a well organized group and
scatters them. So you're free to make a bit more powerful
without upsetting balance, because the confusion/disorientation
factor works against the power. The proposed song decreases
entropy. So even though it does the same thing in reverse, it
is much more powerful/useful/abusable.
