"Huggin' and a-kissin', dancin' and a-lovin' / Wearin' next to nothin' 'cause it's hot as an oven"

Well this one was a challenge.

I love Neil Cicierega, and I've tried to do mashups before as a fun little side-hobby that I never quite got good at, and it's largely inspired by his ability to make something hilarious out of something that was never intended to be. It's very weird to hear such incredibly different songs fit together so well, but they do. Is it something I'd listen to regularly? Not really, but I definitely enjoy it in the moment.

But as a villain song? I mean, I just have no idea what to do with it. It's not even a cover, just a song about consensual sex in the love shack, made eerily sinisted by swapping the instrumentals for the theme from Psycho. So what does it tell you about the singer? That he wants to have sex, in a shack. And that's extremely villainous if this is like a "take someone to a shack and lock them in there" kind of scenario. But is that what it is? It's very slightly implied to be, but only because the instrumentals are sinister in tone and the lyrics were weird to begin with. Then again, nobody is ever going to listen to Love Shack and think "wow this guy is evil." So it's either very villainous, or not at all, and on this one I'm leaning a little lower on the split-the-difference side.
