NOW ENTERING THE BOTTOM TIER

...Actually, no one nominated a song I actively hated this time! If you were trying to avoid nominating things that I hated, then congratulations! You all got at least 10 points with every song.

If you were hoping to avoid gaining points and simply failed to find a song I hate, then you have my condolences.

NOW ENTERING THE "10 to 19.99~ POINT TIER".

Songs that I definitely don't hate, but wound up being in this year's lowest tier because the actual bottom tier is strangely empty this time.

(First Reaction: A short rap song that says nothing and goes nowhere. I'm not sure why this is on the album.)

Okay, seriously, is there any context that I'm missing here? This is by three guys instead of the zombie idols from the rest of the album, but there's no indication of who these guys are & nothing happens during the song? It's only a minute long and at least half that time is spent on "yo, yo, yo"s and mic checks. I can find no information on which characters are performing this, nor why. It's so insigificant that I can't imagine this was an important part of the episode, but I might have to try to watch the second episode just to see if the scene it was in helps things at all?

....alright, let's do this. *goes to watch the second episode*

No, not much; some of the zombies are wandering the streets & a trio of guys decide to hit on them in rap battle form. The rap is intentionally lame, but I wouldn't say that context really helps the song much (if at all). The scene was kinda funny, but the funniest part was the cop who interrupted the rap serenade and he's not even featured on the track?? It's nice that this was included for completion's sake, but it's a low point for the album.

[Final Thoughts: This track has been on a downward spiral since the first listen. It's short & bland enough to be inoffensive, but it's difficult for a song to pull off "intentionally lame" in a way that's actually enjoyable. This track isn't good enough to really work as a song, nor funny enough to be worth a laugh, nor particularly relevant to the themes of the album/show. It just kinda exists for a moment and then ends, having accomplished nothing other than a general lameness. It's nice that it's here for the sake of completion, but the album would probably be stronger without it.]
