Alright, three songs tonight because some rabbit decided to threaten to incinerate Fluttershy for having the audacity to want her opinion counted and I think we all need a little time to calm down.

5MIINUST x Puuluup | (Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (kll) midagi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htPAhtVgKsI
Nominator: @ZaziGuado [14 songs remaining]
Initial Score: 58.96
Final Score: 56.90
(First Reaction: A reasonably catchy song, but the lyrics about not doing drugs are... just okay.
I don't know drugs, I know soda and cider
I couldn't tell the difference between vitamin and speed
Like "good for you! But also, I'm not that interested in your sobriety*"? I don't know. It's not quite funny enough for me to take it as a comedy song--though the line about people in the front row being able to see through their pretending was humorous. I don't know; this may work better on a second listen where I don't bother with the lyrics and treat it as just a catchy dance song.
*I suppose you could read it as the opposite, in which they're denying drug use so heavily because they're just pretending to not be on drugs. But I'm honestly not into that reading either, so I don't think it would matter.)
I do like that the song is in Estonian, I don't think we've heard a song in this language before. And I really want to like this, but I just can't quite get into this song, no matter what angle I approach it from. I kinda like it, but I think that's all i can say in its favor.

jaboukie - Goner (2:53)
https://youtu.be/bHJTSi_u_AY?si=0m254PRDOSHK3p3c
Nominator: @mcflubbin [9 songs remaining]
Initial Score: 59.13
Final Score: 56.16
(First Reaction: I actually kinda like this. The lyrics just keep repeating and the music doesn't do a lot apart from the instrumental break and yet... there's a deeper tone to the music that I find appealing, it's slightly static-y which is always a plus, and the extra lyrics in the outro:
Ain't no getting better
I'm trying
Isn't that enough?
are pretty good. I'm surprised how enjoyable this track is, since it doesn't seem like something I'd be into.)
Sorry, I'm having a harder time getting past the sheer repetition of "I'm a goner, ain't no getting better". That's basically on an infinite loop for most of the track; what's sad is that the song does get pretty damn good towards the end. Once the instruments ramp up their intensity & the vocals change, I start to get into the song a fair amount! But the song is already close to over by the time it gets good and the combination of "long section that i dislike" and "short section that I do like" feels... like something that ends around here in the Kinda Like tier.

ClownC0re | Earth (2:04)
Nominator: @Murphiroth [8 songs remaining]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR_rPd_ufK4
Initial Score: 53.27
Final Score: 56.50
(First Reaction: This is one of those songs where I really don't know what it was or how to react to it. It's fine, I guess? I don't dislike it, but... I don't know. My reaction is more "this song is a thing that happened" than anything specific or any real desire to listen to it again. I'm feeling like this one is probably below the 55 point mark, but I'll obviously listen to it again on another day and see what happens.)
I kinda like the sax playing at the end of the song and "The Earth is flat cause you are fat" is a pretty good line", but I don't think even those two high points combined are enough to get this song into the "Kinda Like" tier because I'm.... really not into whatever the rest of this is supposed to be.Also, it bothers me that this song feels so familiar; I know I've seen this video before, but I can't find any trace of this having been mentioned at even the standard Post Ranking Rankings, so I really don't know why I know this. Which just adds to the strangeness.
