Four: I know everyone is going to hate me for this, but shouting "Killing us dead, Black lives don't matter" kinda negates any hypothetical good feelings of the song. It's like "don't worry about all the problems of the world, everything's fine... BLACK PEOPLE ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED BY THE POLICE AND YOU AREN'T HELPING... seriously though everything's fine, tee hee!" ; is the song supposed to be ironic? One of those that makes you think it's a happy song, then you finally notice the lyrics and realize how incredibly soul-crushing it actually was?
I do support the movement, I acknowledge that this is a problem that needs to be discussed, and I'm horrified by all the attempts on the right to portray "stop murdering black people" as a controversial stance. I can even kinda see the point of adding it to this sort of song (you wanted to be happy and have fun without worrying about the reality of police brutality? Yeah, about that...), but it renders it unable to function as a Feel Good song.
Five: This is just way too serious of a topic to deal with in this topic. I...don't know if I'd call it more serious than all the songs about suicide that was nominated (seriously, I'm now worried about some of you), but my write-ups tend to be goofy and weird. I can't really do that with this sort of topic..."
She looks around at the bizarre environment and sighs
"At least, I wasn't supposed to... that's not to say there are no serious songs that I like, but it's rather arbitrary which ones I connect with and I don't have time in this write-up to get into it, considering how wildly off-track this has already gotten.
Six: Bill & Ted are awesome and references to Bill & Ted are also awesome.
So... yeah. Like I said in "Coming Down"'s miniscule write-up, I'm very hard-pressed to enjoy any song that just endlessly repeats itself. And I don't want to have these type of serious discussions. And frankly, I'm pretty sure you don't want me to have these discussions either. Has anything in this write-up given you the impression that I'm normal enough to have an opinion worth considering on this topic?
Well, whatever. It's a song I would have never heard without this topic, so I appreciate the chance to listen to it. Enjoy the rest of your day!"
You find yourself returning to the real world, safe from all this stupidity.
"Oh, by the way... don't click the other option! It doesn't end well..."

As clouds roll in to cover the moon, the bunny's appearance quickly shifts into that of the Reaper. You don't have enough time to process what's happening before meeting an untimely end.
[FINAL NOTES: The original version of this was actually much longer, but since I can only use two blocks of text hidden by quotes per post, the remaining options had to be trimmed.]
[FINAL-ER NOTES: Especially since this had to go into two posts as it was. I don't really want to know how long the full version would have gone on for.] ---
