Nominator: Raka (2/15)

(4, 4, 7 [upgraded to a 9.7])

[The chorus is great. Cant even begin to get interested in any of the verses though.]

This song has been particularly brutal to judge.

When it comes to the verses and subject matter, I really want to give this song a 0 and possibly bury it in last place. Way too sexually explicit -and- underaged kids -and- religious schooling? I just...like, you are seriously making me miss the days when "too many songs about suicide" was my main complaint about the nominations because, good lord, those were easier than this song.

But then you have the choruses. Everyone's voices are wonderful and once the lyrics stop being so specific, I can start enjoying things. Some of those sections are easily worth a 10, if not more than a 10.

...so if a song is caught somewhere between "negative infinity" and "perfection" for its score, where does it wind up? Honestly, I kinda want to have it off the list entirely--leave it forever unranked. Or say that it places in all 300 ranking slots simultaneously. In the air, it is everywhere, nowhere, somewhere, so I'm gonna have to say:

Why (Is it there)
Tell me why (Is it there)
I don't ever wanna say good-bye (Do you ever wonder why)
As I look into an empty sky
Somebody tell me why (Somebody tell me why)

...wait that's the lyrics to that one song from Street Fighter: The Movie. We should all go listen to that! Like right now!

Not the greatest song, but it's still pretty catchy. I recall spending a lot of time trying to beat the Saturn version of "Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game"--I'm absolutely terrible at using Guile or any charge character, so trying to clear an entire game while only being able to play as him was...rough.

So I eventually force my way through the game and my big reward for the ending was...this music video. It was simultaneously the most anticlimactic and greatest thing ever. I worked so hard, messing with the game on and off again for years, and then we...go to a dark club to listen to an obscure pop song. YES. This is the greatest ending to anything ever.

Aaanywho..., I really don't know what's going to happen to this song. I think I've got it in...215th place at the time this was written? Which again is both way too low and way too high.

[Final Thoughts: Random things...

1: Remember way back when I said I burst into song for one of your future nominations? Eesh, that seems like forever ago.

2: Obviously, my love of the group singing parts wound up winning out over my dislike of the verses themselves. I can't even decide on a best line from it.

The slightly emo "Just the bitch of living as someone you can't stand", giving that slight misery type of feeling I want?

The slightly regretful "Just the bitch of living, asking what went wrong?"

The slightly anti-religious "It's the bitch of living and sensing God is dead"?

So many lines, so many perfect lines...

...attached to a song which opens with masterbation. -.-']

Huh. One more person in jeopardy and we'd have enough for a third team...
