STRONG opinion incoming: zombie by the cranberries doesn't belong on halloween playlists. it's a protest song about the children who were victims of a 1993 bombing during the troubles. it's not about the living dead!! stop putting songs on halloween playlists just based on the title please!!!

Question: Can I still listen to Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz on Halloween? (the rapping parts are sung by Del The Funky Homosapien, though in the Gorillaz lore, he's a ghost who lives inside the drummer)

Yeah. Not surprising the Guy Who Didn't Even Begin To Understand Superman doesn't listen to the lyrics. It's like What's-His-Face (there have been several of them), putting on "Born in the USA" misunderstanding that the Boss was CRITIQUING America, not lauding it.

Kinda like seeing those videos of schools playing Pumped Up Kicks, a song about school shooting, at school parties And it's not like that song is subtle about what it is about?

I agree. And, honestly, I'd use their cover of 'Iron Man' in my Hallowe'en playlist! It's a smooth and cool version of it but I love it and I think it'd fit the mood. Maybe that's just me.😁

Rebecca Holcomb @rebeccaholcomb.bsky.social

Recently told my boyfriend the song gives me chills because of the meaning behind it and he literally had no idea. After explaining it, he was shocked. This is why music doesn’t hit the same anymore! No one puts the meaning behind it. It’s all about the beat, not the words. A beautifully tragic song

It blew my mind when watching Zack Snyder's zombie heist movie and that song started playing! As a "subtle" hint that the character has been bitten, to boot! Judging by that and his Watchmen adaptation the man must have the media literacy of a five-year-old.
