https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smjXVkiBYmI&list=OLAK5uy_k_Z0-DYw0_cGPvZm6icNUGbefRT4wktdY&index=14

Nominator: Steiner (10/26)
Source: Aenima (4/15)

initial Score: 60.00 [#242]
Revised Score: 60.96 [#279]
Final Score: 61.48 [#307]

(First Thoughts: Well, Ive been saying I wanted an entire track of buzzing sounds. These arent quite the sounds I wanted, but hey, you tried to give me something I wanted.)

If youve ever wanted to be trapped inside a bug zapper during a lightning storm, then do I have the track for YOU!

...Seriously though, this is the type of thing Ive wanted for a long time now, so well done.

[Final Thoughts: Not much that can be added to that. Its not like theres a lot to discuss here. I do really like it, enough that Ive considered moving it up a tie (or at least higher into the 60s), but... I think I prefer the other remaining songs on the list over this, if only because theyre... songs.]

306: 2CELLOS - SCHINDLERS LIST THEME:

Nominator: IhatethisCPU (9/15)

Initial Score: 60.24 [#230]
Revised Score: 61.08 [#278]
Final Score: 61.55 [#306]

(First Thoughts: Its pretty.)

I know its horrible to describe a song like this as pretty, but Id like to believe were all numb to my terrible descriptions and opinions by this point in time.

I see the appeal of the song. It does feel tragic and painful, though I never truly connect with iteven songs like this that are objectively beautiful and have obvious emotional overtones can have trouble getting to me, with there being apparently no rhyme or reason to what actually hits me emotionally.

This... I like it. Im not sure where it would wind up if I had the proper emotional reaction to itits probable that a song dealing with the holocaust would be too soul-crushing for my tastes, if the full weight of the songs power came down upon me. Its also possible that the soul-crushing weight would force me to move it up to the 90s, at least. As is... without that deep connection... it just kinda hangs out at the ooh, I like this level.

[Final Thoughts: Still objectively great, still not fully resonating with me.]

305: THE ANDREWS SISTERS - STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmjNIq49398

Nominator: rwlh (13/15)

Initial Score: 60.26 [#229]
Revised Score: 61.20 [#277]
Final Score: 61.60 [#305]

(First Thoughts: Well, its certainly an inspired choice. A bit too old-fashioned for my tastes, but... well its different and different is worth points for novelty value.)

Ive never played Mafia 2 or Fallout 76, so I never knew this song was on their soundtracks. Thats kinda neat. Pretty sure Ive never heard any version of this song before, but theres been enough covers (this being a cover itself, but lets not get into that) that its plausible I heard one somewhere a long time ago.

I like this. Its not the type of thing thats ever going to be my favorite, but its interesting to look back at music from a time I dont know a lot about and I do have a noted animal bias. (Not really a fan of monkeys or buzzards, but Ill take what I can get at this point.

...other than bandicoots apparently, but lets not start that conversation again.)

[Final Thoughts: A nice and incredibly retro pick, which is a welcome change of pace from everything else.]

Nominator: NFUN (12/37)

Initial Score: 60.94 [#226]
Revised Score: 61.44 [#275]
Final Score: 61.64 [#304]

(First Thoughts: I like this and think Im slightly undervaluing it, but dont want to move it up right now.)

I still like this. Its... hmm, how to describe this...

It is as though it is the theme for a computer AI that has created a body for itself in the shape of an angel and is preparing to obliterate all humanity in nuclear hellfire.

[Final Thoughts: I for one welcome our hypothetical digital overlord.]
