No Memory - Frankie Big Face

Since everyone else is listing their computer sounds, I guess I should too...
*In order of appearance: 1) Fred from the Mac; 2) Sosumi - Mac alert sound; 3) Pac-man death sound.
I'm also using a bass tone called "8-bit crusher" and a synth called "Eight-bit synth".*

My couch is my home
These cushions are my catacombs
While you were judging me
Another bad guy bludgeoned me
Now please leave me alone

You think you’re pretty smug
All I'll give you is a glanceless shrug
I know you’re my wife
But I’m on my final life
I don’t have time to give you a hug
This first-person shooter
On my Macintosh computer
Is my illness, my cure, and my drug
Don’t pull that plug!

Chorus
1 2 3 4
Tell me what I’m fighting for
I’ve got no memory at all
5 6 7 8
Who do I annihilate
Please I got no memory
I got no memory at all

Stop wasting my time
I got a lot of zombies on my mind
Now don’t interrupt
‘Cause I have to level up
If I’m gonna save the whole mankind
Don’t worry ‘bout my sanity
I do it for humanity
No please do not open those blinds
No no no no!

Chorus

hehe, I considered using the Pac-Man death sound. Not crazy about this one, it didn't immediately get me on board like your Pump the Brakes and repeat listens haven't won me over as much as your Color Me song did. Not really sure why, the vibe of this one just doesn't quite work for me. Chiptune elements don't feel as well integrated as a lot of the other songs.

I love this song. It might be because I relate to it a little too much though. Your funny bits got a laugh when they were supposed to, the music was catchy, and you checked all the boxes with the challenge. I had 2 minor issues lyrically though. #1 Who plays a first person shooter on a Mac...from the couch? #2 Why doesn’t he have any memory? Was it because he was distracted by his wife trying to get his attention & he forgot what was going on in the game? The “No Memory” part isn’t laid out as clearly as I’d like. It’s used in the chorus & it’s catchy, so those are minor complaints. But after listening to Agony & BBS I’m going to be looking for things like that to make adjustments at the top of my rankings.
