FIY, here are translated lyrics to the third song, Månen, so you can discern whether they fit the theme:

How beautiful and inexpressable everything which is dead is.
A dead leaf, a dead human
And the sickle of the moon.
And all flowers know a secret
And the forest keeps it,
It is that the cycle of the moon around our earth
Is the path of death.
And the moon spins its wonderful web
Which the flowers love.
And the moon spins its magical net
Around everything which lives.
And the sickle of the moon scythes the flowers
In late autumn nights,
And all flowers await the kiss of the moon
in endless longing.

Evanescence - Like You
Basic Evanescence fair about not necrophilia. 3/10.

Jacques Brel - Jojo
A decent folk tune with questionable topicality. 5/10.

Lill Lindfors - Månen
Soothing, belongs as background music for an art exhibit. 5/10.

Of Montreal - Chrissy Kiss the Corpse
Quite the catchy and fun track. 8/10.

Alice Cooper - Cold Ethyl
It's Alice Cooper and it's on topic. 7/10.

Gnarls Barkley - Necromancer
I especially dig the elevator music backing. 7/10.

T.S.O.L. - Code Blue
No questioning this one's place here. 8/10.

 

[CiG]

Doh. Forgot about this game.

 

[Krow]

Had no idea the list was posted. Will rate this weekend

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Doh. Forgot about this game.

Or maybe you were waiting until it was dead and rotting in the ground, just the way you like it.

Here we go

Evanescence - Like You
2/10. This isnt on theme and you made me listen to Evanescence. Fuck you.

Jacques Brel - Jojo
3/10. Lick my ballsack you pretentious baguette. Pretty sure just loving someone thats dead isnt on topic here either.

Lill Lindfors - Månen
?/10. The video for this one is unavailable. If someone wants to link me a way to listen I will, a quick google came up empty handed. Hate to say, but looks like it isnt on topic either though.

Of Montreal - Chrissy Kiss the Corpse
5/10. Comical but fucking obnoxious. At least its on topic.

Alice Cooper - Cold Ethyl
8/10. If I live till 97, You'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven.

Gnarls Barkley - Necromancer
7.5/10. Listening to this, I'm pretty sure this is actually about having sex with drugged girls, not really necrophilia. That being said, interesting song and very dark.

T.S.O.L. - Code Blue
7/10. This was alright. I feel like I cant differentiate punk rock very well sometimes though. Sounds the same as every other band.

Lill Lindfors - Månen

Looks like it has been taken down. Since I couldn't find another place where you can stream it for free, I'd suggest to simply ignore my submission in order to continue with this round.

Whoever is running the game, edit the playlist and put this in place of the removed link:

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Done. Now that saves me from having to remove it from the playlist.

Evanescence - Like You 2/10
So apparently this song was written by the singer in dedication to her sister passing away. Not sure whether whoever posted this song is an absolute retard or if they intended it to be interpreted as necrophilic incest...

Jacques Brel - Jojo 6/10
Nice sounding song, I like it a lot. Lyrics seem to be about the death of his friend and chauffeur. Probably not really thematic but love of the dead is close enough, given the way the lyrics depict his sorrow and the constant references to "Jojo" being in the ground but not dead etc.

Lill Lindfors - Månen 5/10
Thx Serj.

Of Montreal - Chrissy Kiss the Corpse 5.5/10
Some cops came by so we hid behind a tree,
I peeked out and they noticed me.
And said fondling the dead is a felony,
But you got nothing to fear 'cause we only came to see.

lmfao what the fuck!

Gnarls Barkley - Necromancer 4.5/10
Quite cinematic, pretty interesting, but not really for me for whatever reason.

Alice Cooper - Cold Ethyl 8/10
Total classic! Great choice man, I might need to dip into my Cooper collection after I'm done with Rush!

T.S.O.L. - Code Blue 8/10
Can never go wrong with old school T.S.O.L. man!

Pretty fucking lazy playlist.

Lill Lindfors - Månen 4.5/10
Are there even lyrics for this available anywhere? Unless someone can prove to me this is off-topic I'll go ahead and rate it as if it is.

I posted a translation under the playlist.

 

[CiG]

Derp. Edited.

Evanescence - Like You 2/10
?$%#

Jacques Brel - Jojo 8/10
Brel was really the complete package as a singer/songwriter, musically inventive and influential, stunning voice, and unrivalled lyricist. This is not one of his masterpieces, but it's not far off.

Lill Lindfors - Manen 7/10
Delicate and beautiful. Wouldn't be out of place on Twin Peaks Season 3.

Chrissy Kiss the Corpse - Of Montreal 4/10
Like eating a bowl of sugar.

Necromancer - Gnarls Barkley 6/10
Great lyrics, I guess objectively it should rate higher but like most rap it sounds musically thin to me.

Alice Cooper - Cold Ethyl 6/10
Not my favourite Alice track.

TSOL - Code Blue 6/10
A band that never really clicked with me. I really like the slower, bass-heavy intro section, but the fast part sounds very Sex Pistols.

Lol where did you get the chauffeur part from?

Wiki.

A bad thing?

I'll get rating on this probably tomorrow - but just wanted to share some all time measurables of the game for anyone interested. This includes all data from this game and the Metal Themed Mixtape Game. I have to clean up a data point or two but it's some interesting information that's mainly accurate. If anyone is interested in seeing the raw data at any time to play with or just view (which does show all past themes and winners with dates) I'm happy to forward the Excel file.
