Nick Soma - Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a wonderful day
That is a fact because so I say
'Cause I'll return to the material world
For total chaos to be unfurled

I'm the spirit of misfortune
You're my toys and I wanna play
But I don't seek to kill or torture
Only to mess up your day

It's so boring hanging out with all the other ghosts
When the door to the world of the living is closed
But today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now

You'll stub your toe in the morning as you crawl out of bed
Leaping up you're gonna hit your head
Then trip over and fall, good morning, my friend
Are you already longing for this day to end?

I'm the ghost of misadventure
Having fun at your expense
You are my servant indentured
Just one day, to my defense

It's so boring watching you when I can't interfere
Dreaming up pranks while I'm trapped in here
But today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now

On the shore there's something lying around
A black cat, seems like he's drowned
Now he's no longer a corpse and I'm no longer a ghost
Thanks a lot, little kitty, for being my host

It was boring watching you, I couldn't interfere
You'd better watch out now, the cat of doom is here
And today I'll be having fun
Friday the 13th, the party's on
And I think I'll wreak some major havoc now
Yes I'm gonna wreak some major havoc now (meooowww!)
Yes I'm gonna wreak some major havoc now

I really like this for the most part, but those opening lines REALLY don't get things off on the right foot, that "That is a fact because so I say" line really needs an upgrade. Once that stumbling block has been cleared, this is fun, well performed and catchy.

"A fact because so I say" is not only a weak rhyme but among the worst bits of reasoning ever. However this is pop music so I'll try not to get too hung up on it. I also always hate when people use the world/unfurled rhyme, just a personal taste thing. On a more technical note, what the hell happened with that drum roll when the drums first kick in?! It takes a special kind of malcoordinate to use sequencers and mess up the timing. This falls into the common trap of letting the title prompt overwhelm the song with negative sentiment, and you've tried to spin it in a positive way, but I'm not really feeling the joy. Speaking of which, I wanted to say more positive things about your song, but I've run out of energy complaining. Sorry! I was actually going to rank this higher but after writing this review I felt I had to knock it down a couple of notches.

This is creatively absurd. You were really selling this until the exceptionally bored delivery of the exceptionally awkward line "I think I'll wreck some major havoc now". You kinda got stuck between sincere and hilarious. Execution: B+, concept: C+, hooks: A-

I think you might have got away with the clunky opening couplet a bit more if it was buried later in the song but hitting us with it right at the start really makes it stand out. The entrance of the drums is very clumsy but once we get going the storytelling is good and I love the subtlety of the miaow joke in the backing vocals near the end.

Some realllly awkward lyrics in here ("a fact because so I say," "chaos to be unfurled," "servant indentured" not to mention the way "servant" is delivered as "ser-VANT") but ultimately I still found this quite fun and endearing in the end. The cat of doom probably helped, and I also really liked the melody/chord progression/flow of the "major havoc" line.
