:!: :!: :!: More spooky Jason lovesong. Technical.

whistled hook is fun, drift into sinister chaos at the end is a nice touch, but there some moments in the vocal that really don't work for me (clashing with the harmonies in particular) and the novelty-jazz vibe of the song generally just... is not my cup of tea, sorry.

I feel if somebody had described this to me before I'd heard it I'd expect to like it. A Beatles-esque piano jaunt that segues into a Hit-the-road-Jack style middle section. But the truth is this is painful to listen to. It's like opera for toddlers or something. Everything about the melodies and the swing exudes cheese. From a technical perspective it's not too bad, which shows just how much my taste biases are coming into play here. So, sorry about that.

Beetles inspiration, Butthole Surfers verse lyrics, a killer chorus, and an unnecessary bridge. I understand you're trying to sell an idea here... On the one hand, you put a lot of effort into selling it. On the other hand, is it worth selling? Execution: B+, concept: C, hooks: B

Some pitch issues with the vocals and some of the notes are really quite piercing. The lyrics feel like a first draft and there are a few clunky rhymes that stick out. I think I'd prefer it if the rockier section at the end was the whole song, as I find the main bits too "musical theatre" for my tastes. But then it wouldn't be very upbeat, so whaddaya gonna do?

I couldn't get into this at all--the cheesiness of it kind of reminds me of Randy Newman (not a fan), and the vocals felt excessively shrill and overblown compared to what i think the rather easygoing style of the music would have called for (regardless of my feelings about the cheese). More suited for Ride of the Valkyries than this tune. The idea of all the different horror movie characters in a town together is a more inventive take than one of the completely straight Jason interpretations, but the "mystical, magical, miracle Friday" line just felt too cheesy for me and I wasn't entirely clear why the Friday was significant in the setting of the song. The distorted bridge felt baffling and didn't seem to fit. Didn't care for the laughing at the end, either, it just kind of oozed Theater Kid. This is probably exactly what you're going for, but musical theater type songs will run into severe genre bias on my part.
