The Bill & Ted song was my attempt to find the weirdest song I could think of that I hadnt learned about purely through Board 8 (so no Minotaur Shock, bunbleman, or Venetian Snares). And it was definitely odd.

In universe Bill & Ted were trying to create a song that would unite all humanity. Their most recent attempt was THISa chaotic mishmash of instruments and cultural influences thrown into a blender while maintaining some semblance of a rock song. Its meant to be terrible, but its not without its charms... also, I think its kinda neat that they spent the effort making a full version of the song; only the first little bit of it plays in the actual film, but they took a one-off joke and ran all the way with it, and I appreciate the dedication to the bit.

...also I love songs credited to fictional characters and I have a tendency to start rambling about the Bill & Ted soundtracks completely unprompted, so it made sense as a nomination. Something weird for you, something fictional for me, from a series I wont shut up about. Win-Win-Win.



Streets of Gold was a token furry nomination, but I had a fair amount of justification for it:

1: Its performed by a talented pop artist instead of a voice actor, lending it a bit of credibility.

2: While sung by a dog in the movie, theres nothing actually furry or animalistic in the lyrics. If you dont know what its from, it can easily pass itself off as a completely normal song. (A fact that you alluded to yourself by pointing out that it works almost as well devoid of context)

3: As far as singing Disney animal songs go, this is one of the more obscure options available. Oliver & Company was never one of their most popular films, Streets of Gold isnt the biggest song from the film, and the full version is exclusive to the soundtrackeven if you have the entire film memorized, theres a decent chance you wouldnt have heard this extended cut.

(Of course, the end result of an 80s pop star performing an 80s pop song is something likely too mainstream sounding for this topic; honestly, Im just happy that you didnt completely hate it.)

...I actually hadnt thought about the sax before. In retrospect, I could have just had this double as the sax representation and used the Kenny G nom on something else. Ah well.
