Johnbobb 08/18/20 5:58:51 PM #49:	6. Kick It Up a Notch Source: Starship Villain: Pincer & the Mosquitos Nominator: BetrayedTangy Favorite lyric: Kick it up a notch / What's the point of less when there is more? / Have a cigar, a glass of scotch / When opportunity knocks at your door / You let him in and then ya settle the score https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VemdTfNyYWc Villainy: 9 Characterization: 8 Melody: 9 Total: 26/30 I was so glad to see a Starkid song nominated. There were plenty of options to choose from, and Kick It Up a Notch is easily one of the best, despite Starship not being their best musical (though it is still very good).Dylan Saunders has a fantastic voice, and (while this didn't factor into the ranking) I'm always impressed by how he manages to maintain the vocals so well while also puppeteering the giant crab head. This is definitely a song that takes advantage of its length, as we can follow the entire breakdown of Pincer enacting his plan. He offers Bug (the protagonist) a chance to become a human, then doubles down on pressuring him into it by convincing him it's his only chance to live his dream. And as Bug starts to give in, you quickly see Pincer's luring tone turn to one of aggression as he pushes Bug forward, before ultimately celebrating on the success of his plan to use Bug as bait so he and the mosquitos can devour the entire group of humans. It's essentially Moana's "Shiny" but with a little less dazzle and a lot more deception. Even the things I often dislike in some songs, like the break's from singing and the side characters chiming in, I don't mind here because 1. the side characters can actually sing worth a damn and 2. the talking never feels like a distraction, but instead a necessary part of the song. This is just a great example of everything being done very, very well. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:943542470] in Johnbobb r...
