R#12: DONT MESS WITH MAGNETMAN:

https://open.spotify.com/track/7pEz5vmnZAqwZnYQpDNDvL

Nominator: Shonen_Bat (12/27)
Source: History Repeating Blue (3/10)

Initial Score: 92.14 [R#9]
Revised Score: 94.05 [R#9]
Final Score: 91.00 [#12]

(First Thoughts: Sure my dad wants to rule the world, but can you let that get between us, girl?

Unrequited love parody song is funny and one of their best. While the quoted line above is the best, every verse has at least one good line and the song still makes me smile no matter how many times I listen to it.)

Im amused that Roll is so completely irrelevant to the series that the only time they even reference she exists is in this song and shes just an unobtainable object instead of even being a one-dimensional character. (Though she was nice enough to warn Magnetman that her brother was going to kill him, so I guess she does get a bit of characterization)

And original series Roll is indeed that completely pointless! I cant even fault The Megas for having her as an afterthought because this song alone makes her more relevant than she ever was in the classic series. Probably more relevant than her appearance in any spinoff either.

...like the closest she ever came to relevance was getting a unique moveset in Tatsunoko VS Capcom, but 1.Good luck finding anyone who still wants to play that, 2.Due to licensing issues that games probably not getting a re-release or sequel, so LOL if you actually enjoyed playing as anyone unique to that game, & 3.Shes still low tier and not really worth using (though, last I checked, shes at least more viable than Gold Lightarn and Alex).

At least you can play as her in Make a Good Mega Man Level 2! You should all go play that, like, right now. Its a Mega Man fangame with hundreds of levels and is just a general love letter to everything in the series. Its one of the greatest games of all time, seriously, go play it.

As for the song... look, you know how it is with The Megas comedy tracks. Youre either in for the humor of this song or you arent, theres not a lot to say about them.

[Final Thoughts: I regret not giving Magnet Mans theme more points at the Mega Man Song Ranking topics. I have many regrets about that topic, but wow, I really undervalued that song originally.]

R#10 [TIE]: SIMPSONS CHRISTMAS BOOGIE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAjXm7Oc5Xg

Nominator: @GavsEvans123 (15/15)

Initial Score: 64.82 [R#26]
Revised Score: 71.00 [R#21]
Final Score: 95.00 [R#10]

(First Thoughts: Ive had this song stuck in my head for so many years.)

This is one of those songs that just gets stuck in your head and stays with you your entire life, no matter how short and pointless it is. Its almost as infectious as this Aaahh!!! Real Monsters song that has been stuck in my head for an infinite number of years, Ickis and Fungus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALrIILEctps

No matter what Im doing, periodically this song will just pop into my head...

Ickis and Fungus
Hes not a virus
Dont call him pustule

So many, many years without freedom from that song. May it live forever in your head so that you may understand a fraction of what Ive gone through.

Aaaanywho...., Simpsons Christmas Boogie is a lot like that: Short, performed in character by characters that cant sing, repetitive enough that youll know all the lyrics after only hearing it once, and catchy to a point that youll never be free of it. Its actually pretty good though! The disco beat makes it strangely nostalgic and its both cute & funny enough to bypass my natural dislike towards Christmas music and dance music. The sleigh bells are a nice touch, giving it just a bit of the Christmas flair that the song needed. Its well done... but its less than a minute long and doesnt even manage to make full use of that minuscule amount of time, so this is as far as it can go, Im afraid.

[Final Thoughts: Whatever, Ill take a minute long comedy song and move it up to top tier status whenever I feel like it! Woo!]

R#10 [TIE]: .RHYTHM EMOTION:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WCh2i9cXIk

Nominator: handsomeboy2012 (15/15)

Initial Score: 90.23 [R#10]
Revised Score: 72.00 [R#17]
Final Score: 95.00 [R#10]

(First Thoughts: The song doesnt feel right without the beeping of the Zero System activating. Yeah, its still very nostalgic and great, but I miss the beeping.)

Rhythm Emotion with beeps:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPrk7JBFsWs

THATS BETTER.

...Though it only adds the beeps and now I miss all the other opening sound effects. Its still incomplete without the sounds of Wing Zero flying into battle. Also now I really want to replay SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays and replay the Gundam Wing storyline as a strategy RPG.

Though the solution to every battle in that game can be summed up as build two of the warship from the 00 movie and let them obliterate everything, with a side of build an infinite army of QAN[T] ELS if you really want a mobile suit to do some killing too.

That may not apply if you have access to DLC units, but if you dont, then theres a very clear tier-list best described as 00 movie >>>> everything else.

So, I have a lot of nostalgia for Gundam Wing and have listened to this song countless times over the years. This has been a regular fixture on every mp3 player I had, back when mp3 players were things people had. Its been so long and so frequent that my playcount for this song is probably in the thousands by now. I think this may actually have been the first Japanese song I ever obtained. Its been with me forever, but that means its even more familiar to me than The Megas albums... and that kinda limits how far I want to take the song, even in the R#s category. Im just a bit tired of it after listening to it for so long.

[Final Thoughts: And Im back to loving this song, even if it is something Ive listened to way too many times.]
