I mean, there are flat earthers and that kind of things but still, it's hard to believe.

also I enjoy that the riff, simple as it may be, is played with a stop-start rythm similar to WWS or DTE; it makes the song funkier than it would otherwise be if they were going ham on every beat

This will likely settle as a 2.5 star song to me. Might go up to a 3 once I can properly gauge its place on the album, but could also go down.

What are some other PJ songs you'd rank a 2.5?
Hmmm, maybe something like Mankind? Gonna See My Friend? MFC?

:facepalm: But thanks for answering all the same.
You put me on the spot!

All three of the songs I mentioned move between 2-3 stars based on how I'm feeling at the moment. All three hold the same type of energy/place on their respective albums.

This song is a comfortable 3 to me, however I reckon it's built for a live show and will be a good 3.5-4 on tour.

I honestly think they'll butcher this one live.

And being a 1 star song for me, I mean...

I have some AI song credits. Should I use one to make Homer sing Running?
