Ahhhh I could talk about this one for awhile. The banjo is so cute and catchy. I heard the lyrics about forearms and I was curious, and then I realized it was about Popeye. I'm a huge comic strip fan, and I thought this was so clever. Putting a more dramatic spin on a silly comic strip gag, I think it is a really inventive style of storytelling.

LOVE this take on the challenge, a Popeye diss track is one of those "that never would have occurred to me but I love it" ideas. The musical execution is good too, I always enjoy Frisbee's vocals and the banjo and mandolin sound great. There are just a couple of bits that bother me, where the melody of certain sections kinda seems to end weakly, like there should be an extra chord change or a different sung note to add some resolution, or something? "Sailor man" is the most obvious part where I notice this. But this is still one of my favourites.

Like a lot of people this round, the music doesn’t really set the mood for a diss track. I mean there’s a glockenspiel in this for crying out loud. ;p I actually really enjoy the concept, the music, the lyrics & the vocals. Yet together this just doesn’t seem to work for me. The mood is wrong, and the vocals (despite being good) don’t sound like Popeye or Brutus. I am so conflicted with this...I like so much about it...but it’s like peanut butter & pizza together.

What a fucking weird song. I loved it! One of my other favorites of this round. Musically lovely, I really liked the sounds of the banjo and mandolin together. The phrasing in the verses is super awkward (which I kind of figured was a deliberate choice? No rhymes in the first verse and then the Latin medical terms in the second?) but the rhythm of "one belly bump/and keep Olive Oyl warm at night" really pleased me, and "I can't takes no more" was great. I also like that you didn't put on weird novelty voices for this song--it made it far funnier to have these lyrics sung straight. And it's definitely a diss track.
