Now I can understand why you expected it out so much earlier.

Yeah, I was wondering how this song was still around. I don't think anyone on the board likes Was (Not Was) other than myself--two unsuccessful attempts at getting their biggest hits into Rank the Tracks kinda shows that people would prefer basically anything over them--nor have I gotten anyone not on this board to like them either... the best reaction I'd gotten to this point was no response. Also, while sad villain songs are my thing, they never seemed to be your thing.. so "band no one likes" singing "lyrics you won't like" was... not something I had high expectations for. I figured I'd be happy if it escaped the bottom five.

Anyway, it was my most listened to song in 2023... largely due to one day where I listened to it on an infinite loop. I love Was (Not Was) and sad villain songs, so this type of thing was right up my alley and I binged it. Hard. ...And then I kinda lost interest after a week or so. It's a good origin story, but it feels like it needs a continuation. "I turned to crime" isn't really a satisfying end, you know? It's the end of a first chapter, but I want more. Don't get me wrong, I like it quite a bit still, but it's more like a 7 or an 8 out of 10. Ironically, the song dropping so far down the list mirrors my own reaction to it, even though we took wildly different paths to get there.
