"Wait! He isn't dead! Shia Surprise! / There's a gun to your head, and death in his eyes / But you can do Jiu Jitsu / Body Slam superstar Shia LaBeouf"

There are only a small handful of songs left that didn't score a 10 in at least one category; we're really in the big leagues here. In fact, no song in the top 15 scored less than a 7 in any category! The biggest weakness here for Shia LaBeouf is that the characterization of him is pretty slim, at least for this late in the game. We know that Shia is not some other mysterious being, but actual Hollywood Superstar Shia LaBeouf (good to confirm). We also know that he's a serial killer and cannibal that lives in the woods. But that's about all we really get!

That being said, he's a serial killer cannibal that lives in the woods. His villainy is obvious. It's hard to say how many he's killed, or why he's killing beyond the fact that he likes eating people, but we do know he actives wants to murder you in particular.

Really great song overall, managing to sound both sinister and goofy, while also legitimately impressive from an orchestral standpoint. It's not easy to pull off flat narration while still making for a catchy song (unless you're Cake). It's worth noting that I didn't take into account the interpretive dance for this contest, but if I had, this song easily would've been a top contender, because goddamn the dedication to the bit here is umatched.

Extra bonus, for those who liked Cantor's depictions of Christian Bale and Shia LaBeouf, I'd recommend Scroobius Pip's The Struggle
