Friday the 13th
By Lunkhead

Challenge: happy lyrics, upbeat music

Notes: Friday the 13th movies originally centered around Camp Crystal Lake. In the first movie, Jason's mom was the killer. Jason's weapon of choice is primarily a machete but he also often uses spears or spear-like implements. Originally he was just hard to kill then in the sixth movie he was explicitly turned into a supernatural immortal. Jason often picks off people who are on their own, either just as a one-off, or, whittling a group down one by one. In the 7th movie Jason is pitted against a telekinetic woman, a la Carrie. The 8th movie is "Jason Takes Manhattan". In the 10th movie, "Jason X", Jason is cryogenically frozen, only to be thawed out 100s of years later on a spaceship. Jason would frequently murder young people when they were having sex. This was often interpreted as judgment of sinners, although the writers claimed they just used that occasion as one where the victims would be very distracted and easy to sneak up on. In a later movie Jason spares a child who is praying.

Oh it's almost summer time
I just cannot wait
For the campers to return
Man it's gonna be great

I'm sharpening my blade
And I'm whittling my spear
Cause I'm gonna have a bloody
Good time this year

Oh I love to kill
and I'm good at it
No I cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

I like to start off slow
With a teen who's all alone
Or a cop or a hobo
Then a group one by one oh

You say you’re telekinetic
Then I say come and get it
Cause even if you beat me
Some fool will come and set me free

And I love to kill
Cause I'm good at it
And I cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

I’ve got big dreams
Of big city screams
Slashing with grace
In the future in outer space

And if you're fornicating
Then I'll be right there waiting
Cause I'm not just a monster from hell
I'm a righteous incel

And I love to kill
And I'm good at it
No i cannot die
So get used to it
On Friday the 13th
I'll come and find you
Just like my momma taught me to

really fun track, one of my favourites this round. I particularly like the telekinetic / come and get it line, the rhythm of the chorus and the energetic lead guitar.

This is a decent slice of technically proficient power pop. It does a far better job of meeting the upbeat music part of the challenge than most entries purely on the strength that I can imagine a room of drunk people going bonkers to it. Happy lyrics, not so much, but there is a fair amount of humour and that's worth something.

This is fun, some great guitar stuff. Pretty dumb take, but it's hilarious. Musically, it's a little templatey and definitely unsophisticated (but clearly by choice). Execution: A, concept: C+, hooks: C

My favourite of the Jason songs and one of the strongest lyrically of all of the entries. The face melting solos fit the pop-punk feel perfectly and those snare rolls are so tight. The middle 8 mixes it up nicely and stops the track becoming too samey. So basically what a middle 8 is meant to do!

This was just a fun listen, kinda poppy horror-punk in the vein of the Misfits, I really enjoyed the crunchy guitars and the bouncy vocal melody--the pauses on the "good at it" and "get used to it" parts work really well with the overall flow. The lyrics are goofy and light, again not as original as some takes (although who would have known that before submitting?) but it works, and the "fornicating"/"waiting" rhyme made me laugh. Your voice sounds good where it dips down into that deeper register. Meets the challenge nicely.
