Wow, even though my placement here (9th) is almost guaranteed to be my peak, and even though I’m already confused (but impressed) by the scoring, I’m loving this reveal already! Master is a master.
Looking forward to the slaughter

Parody of what?
Glad you like it. “Night Witches” is of their 2014 album “Heroes” which is full of great songs and imo contender for metal album of the decade. Their two subsequent albums are a bit meh. 2005’s Primo Victoria is also very good and the title track is their most popular song.
Parody of metal bands who have a growling voice in place of singing, melodramatic cartoony lyrics (from the depths of hell…prepare to meet your fate, indeed) and a crass take on the over-used Saint Saens as an intro.
On the other hand it’s good of them to put every nihilistic metal cliche into one song for us.

So I will be honest, this category was a major dud for me. The winner is going to be fairly odd I think. Im still deciding placement, but I’ve got a song that missed the category, some stuff that doesn’t get me moving even a little bit, and one of the most inexplicable “songs” I have ever heard.
Needless to say, its gonna be fun.
Note: This is not the full reveal, but I’ve decided to reveal the last place entry and then take a bit of a break. You will probably understand why.
Category 2: A cover song.
What would I have chosen?
Well, if this wasn’t the upbeat Walrus, it would easily be this.
Or maybe this
I like Chris Cornell, can you tell?
But it is, so thats not it.
You know what is though?
That’s right, Natalie Imbruglia’s 1997 hit Torn is a cover song. And its goddamn fantastic even all these years later.
On with the show!

I would’ve chosen this if I had got my entry in on time.
I lied, I’m gonna reveal two songs here.
Let me just paste my stream of consciousness notes for 15th place.
“holy fuck, what is this? Why are my ears bleeding. Why does it sound like a middle age woman is trying to sing like a 5 year old? What is happening?”
In 15th place, scoring 1. Pyantinski - Surfin USA by Melt Banana
“Enjoy”?
Yep, somehow somebody scored lower than a person who missed the category entirely.
In 14th place, scoring 2. 6ix with Seven Nation Army (Glitch Mob Remix) by The White Stripes.
A remix does not a cover make, so while I like the song and I can groove to it of course, this is just Seven Nation Army with a filter on it. No Points for You! (Ok, 2 points for you.)

This is pretty good. It would have scored pretty high.

At least it isn’t 20 minutes long.

As a late teen my bro drove 12 hours from the Canadian prairies to San Francisco (I think?) to see Melt Banana and then drove home.
