Medievel pac man fever ost1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() The vocal delivery is beyond histrionic, it’s laughably overdone – I always feel the urge to call in medical help for the singer. “I realized quickly when I knew I should / That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man / For whatever that means…” Weird use of a preposition aside, there’s just something about this song that feels completely inauthentic and staged. ![]() If they were able to write “ Fernando,” then Frank Farian could have come up with something a little less random. “Babe, don’t be shy / When you’re holding my hand / ‘Cause this time goes back / You got to understand it’s you…” Writing in a second language would be a possible excuse for the utter incoherence of this lyric, were it not for the counter-example of groups like Abba. “Baby Don’t Forget My Number” by Milli Vanilli This is probably the best song on this list. But any potential for interesting darkness is ruined by the utter insipidness of the melody and its delivery. I will admit that Blunt paints a terrifying portrait of delusion with few words. I surmise that they paid little attention to the actual lyrics of this excerpt from a stalker’s diary. When this song came out, I saw internet comments from young women who were just bowled over by Blunt’s romanticism. But I won’t lose no sleep on that, / ‘Cause I’ve got a plan.” Yeah, that’s not creepy at all. “She’s like the wind/through my tree.” Nothing that happens afterwards can possibly redeem this outlandishly awkward “metaphor.” It’s not just clunky, it’s creepy, and there’s a hilariously disturbing possibility that it’s actually a phallic reference. “Whoa, the seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin’?” This line expresses Anka’s view of reproduction, and it’s one that is shared by Medieval Europe and many traditional tribal societies – a woman’s body is a host for the man’s seed, with no agency or active contribution. It’s HIS baby? She’s going through pregnancy to say how much she loves him? Surely a card would have sufficed. Here are some personal examples of songs I wish I had never heard: Sometimes the reason is hard to identify, you just know that there’s something deeply wrong. Perhaps the lyric feels like an empty afterthought tacked on to a mechanical groove. Maybe it’s a feeling that the song was written by committee, and nothing about it is genuine. Sometimes it’s a repellent point of view in the lyric.
