Forum postLove the story in these lyrics--probably my favorite lyrics of the round, and I’m glad you worked in the narrator’s “lousy high school Spanish,” which neatly eliminates any doubts over accent or grammar. I do think there are moments where you’re expecting to hear a rhyme and don’t, which is really not satisfying (each whole prechorus, basically), but otherwise memorable, cute, and quirky. Not sure if the weeping chupacabra was an intentional conflation with La Llorona, but it’s a vivid image either way. I didn’t find the music particularly notable--my favorite thing about this was definitely the lyrics. Vocals seemed mixed a bit loud and the doubles weren’t very tight, which was distracting.
