"See my silhouette through the curtain / Why I'm wearing a dress is uncertain"

Ranking the villainy of this song is tricky and I'm still not sure I ultimately did it the best way? The problem here is that Norman Bates is obviously a 10/10 in basically any context and this is literally a song sung from the perspective of Norman Bates, who is killing someone. The problem though is that this isn't Norman Bates, it's another character playing Norman Bates, in a very neutral way. Zorak himself here would probably get, what, a 1? But then again, really any character is just a character being played by someone else. I ended up kinda splitting the difference, favoring slightly higher than lower given that it is, again, directly about murdering someone.

That being said, this is barely a song. It's a 40-second quick gag about what a Psycho musical would look like. It doesn't actually tell you anything about Zorak other than he has a weirdly good singing voice and he's playing Norman Bates.
