A Hybrid 10,959 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 The songs are here! I must say all of you did so much better than I expected you to do, of course none of these songs are specifically about this theme but they fit very well regardless! Let me remind you of a few things: - You shouldn't give any proportion of your score based on how much you liked the song, it should be mainly theme fitness. - Although these brief explanations should help people get an overview of other players' interpretations of the theme, you should still probably write a promo post to talk about how your song fits the theme as much as you want to. It'll help the game and the scores to be fair. - There is (for the first time in Arena history I assume) an artist that doesn't write songs in English in the game. Please read the translation of the song before giving a score, it is available on Genius lyrics. ALSO ATTENTION: Due to Christmas, the ceremony will take place on Friday, December 27th on 2 PM EST. You have time to vote until 2 hours before that. The following submissions aren't on Spotify. Listen to them here: Spoiler 1. @Mikolaj - Karma by MARINA ''You haven't been good recently. So good it would be no surprise if Karma hit you faster than the Rah rah bitch hitting the delete button on the original LG5. And when your beloved granny added you on Instagram where she posts gingerbread photos found on Google Graphics and tags you in embarrassing childhood photos, you knew your Karma has arrived and now the only way is downhill'' 2. @DiamondKing - breathin by Ariana Grande ‘’Don't throw your phone out of the window, don't change your name, don't leave the country... she's your grandma after all... just keep breathin and breathin and breathin...’’ 3. @Animal Claws - Leave Me Alone by Michael Jackson ‘’The song tells you about being bothered by the presence and comments of people about you that don't let you have a normal life. The song tells you about being bothered by the presence and comments of your grandma about you that don't let you have a normal life‘’ 4. @Marges – I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift ''It‘s about regreting that you accepted ha on instagram since imo everyone can relate how embarrassing it can be when family members comment on your photos'' 5. @dllcll – Good Years by ZAYN ''I’d rather be anywhere, anywhere but here. That’s how the song starts and it perfectly explains how I would feel in this situation.'' 6. @Mirages - Didn’t Mean To Turn You On by Mariah Carey ''I mean why else would your grandma comment on your bathing suit photo if it didn't turn her on?'' 7. @Jose P - I’m So Stupid by Madonna ‘’If this happened to me I’d feel stupid because I’m not used to posting this type of pics. Now that my grandma has seen it I feel mortified and regret having done this in the first place. I just wanted to be like the pretty people and have pretty pictures, like the song says, but now I’m just embarrassed’’ 8. @Davian - Mercy On Me by Christina Aguilera ‘’Having your grandma comment on your shirtless Instagram post would be one of the most awkward situations for. The only thing that would play in my head is a little prayer. Looorrd, haaaveeee, mercyyyy ooooooon my souuulllll’’ 9. @Nuggets - Unconditionally by Katy Perry ‘’I'll go with Unconditionally because even though i'm ugly as heck, i know she will always love me unconditionally no matter what and will write only good stuff about me’’ 10. @Florian - Proud by Todrick Hall My grandma liking my speedo thirst-traps would just remind me I need some Jesus in my life just like she used to told me. The voice in my head would keep singing about my grandma and wishing she was "proud of me". And finally I would thank her for her unconditional love, because "People like to let you know just how different they thought you were. They called me 'weird', 'punk', '*******', 'sissy'. But my mama just called me 'special'" And to all the contestant who still have the chance to have grandmas, remember to cherish them as much as you can. Especially in this period of xmas where you get time to spent some with them. (I only allowed this long because I had no chance to oppose -AH) 11. @Ryusei - Gramma by Lana Del Rey ‘’When I think about how I would react to this situation, I would think about my Grandma because I see her comment. And that thought brings up the word "grandma" or "gramma" which I associate with this song. So this song literally plays in my head when I think about my own grandma or whenever I hear the word.’’ 12. @Bloody Grammys - Ribs by Lorde “All your friends are laughing in a bar at your grandma's comment. But you aren't. You are spacing out. Thinking about how time has passed, about all the memories you have created when you were only having fun. Your grandma is right, you have grown a lot.“ 13. @Sechito - Dead To Me by Melanie Martinez ‘’If my grandma commented on a swimsuit post, knowing I wanted to show off my body, I'd be embarrassed. This results in my grandma being 'Dead To Me' because of commenting. The lyrics in the song apply too because they have the theme of being dead to me and wanting to kill them, also, she's old, she's gonna die soon.’’ 14. @Varys - Rock That Body by The Black Eyed Peas ‘’My song choice is Rock that body. Thats also the very thing she posted on my instagram pic.’’ 15. @loathereality - Lest We Forget (blood) by Esperanza Spalding ‘’Well in a moment of shame i feel the blood moving all through my system, and this song is pretty much about that. Also the title is mood!’’ 16. @SamanthaC - As Long As You Love Me by Backstreet Boys ''This song is about unconditional love and who doesn’t love you more unconditionally than your grandma? Especially when you may have unflattering pictures of yourself in a swimsuit on Instagram.'' 17. @HighRoad - Dinosaur by Kesha ‘’I chose this song because it sums up the theme pretty well, old people being creepy. Minus the old man part, it fits the theme grand I think.’’ 18. @Talenti - Sally I Can See You by Kimbra ‘’The lyrics mention Kimbra how she is changing physically and emotionally, which remind me of those introspective Instagram posts people write. The lyrics also sounds like a grandma is commenting on her granddaughters page talking about how she’s grown/changed.’’ 19. @Gimme More - I'm A Slave 4 U by Britney Spears ''Grandma needs to understand I may be young but I need to do what I feel like doing. I’m a Slave 4 for the hotties on Instagram Grandma needs to embrace the new me.'' 20. @Musicisfreedom - Miss Subway Of 1952 by Cher ‘’Even though it is a different take than I think most would instantly assume, how embarrassed would you be if your grandma was a fabulous diva back in the day? Maybe her comments could even be flattering to you.’’ 21. @Ally Campana - Castle by Halsey ‘’Well I hate people sneaking their snide comments especially a family member so this is my message to them. ‘Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised‘’’ 22. @Antonio - Did It Again by Kylie Minogue *Grandma_4352 commented on your post: ...* "You did it again", grandma. Asking you to stop has no use anymore, your inner urge to embarrass your grandson in front of his 241 followers is evergrowing, and you must be stopped before you take over the entire galaxy. "Won't you listen to me when I'm telling you it's no good for you?" You never listen, you never care about anyone but yourself, and so I must take this business into my own hands. I'm sorry, but it's the only choice I have left. 23. @BLACKPINK - Goodbye by 2NE1 ‘’The lyrics of the songs are about memories and betrayal. Like how the ****ing grandma comments on the post, it's like a betrayal which soon leads to the Thanksgiving table.’’ Short List: Spoiler Mikolaj - Karma by MARINA DiamondKing - breathin by Ariana Grande Animal Claws - Leave Me Alone by Michael Jackson Marges - I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift dllcll - Good Years - ZAYN Mirages - Didn’t Mean To Turn You On by Mariah Carey Jose P - I’m So Stupid by Madonna Davian - Mercy On Me by Christina Aguilera Nuggets - Unconditionally by Katy Perry Florian - Proud by Todrick Hall Ryusei - Gramma by Lana Del Rey Bloody Grammys - Ribs by Lorde Sechito - Dead To Me by Melanie Martinez Varys - Rock That Body by The Black Eyed Peas loathereality - Lest We Forget by Esperanza Spalding SamanthaC - As Long As You Love Me by Backstreet Boys HighRoad - Dinosaur by Kesha Talenti - Sally I Can See You by Kimbra Gimme More - I’m A Slave 4 U by Britney Spears Musicisfreedom - Miss Subway Of 1952 by Cher Ally Campana - Castle by Halsey Antonio - Did It Again by Kylie Minogue BLACKPINK - Goodbye by 2NE1 Spotify Playlist: No family’s safe when I sashay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 60,798 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Round 1 Promo - Gramma by Lana Del Rey My explanation is already there so here's some fun trivia: This song is from Lana's first ever album which was only on iTunes for about 3 months in 2010 when barely anyone knew her. They pulled it off iTunes after that period. A shame really because it's a good album that fact also means this isn't an unreleased song just a more little known song due to the album's rarity. ’When I think about how I would react to this situation, I would think about my Grandma because I see her comment. And that thought brings up the word "grandma" or "gramma" which I associate with this song. So this song literally plays in my head when I think about my own grandma or whenever I hear the word.’’ it's pretty self-explanatory. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The verses fit in perfectly for this type of situation and I would think if this happened to me. Cause I used to live In a fuzzy dream And I wanted to be Like all the pretty people I'm so stupid 'Cause I used to live In a fuzzy dream And I used to believe In the pretty pictures That were all around me But now I know for sure That I was stupid I feel stupid for deciding to post a shirtless pic on insta when it’s not even my thing anyways. And now my grandma commented on it? I feel extremely embarrassed and stupid. I just wanted to be like the pretty insta people Further emphasizing on my emotions in this situation: Stupider than stupid Stupider than stupid Stupider than stupid Many lines don’t fit in entirely in this context, but most do, especially the verses and the constant repetition of the line “I’m so stupid”.

Animal Claws 18,659 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Round 1 Promo - Leave Me Alone by Michael Jackson You post a picture on Instagram, everything is going well until you see your grandma just commented ... How would you feel? I would be embarrassed to know that my friends would mock me in such a situation like this She needs to leave me alone and let me have a normal life like the other people on Instagram! So just leave me alone Leave me alone (Leave me alone) (Leave me alone) Leave me alone (Leave me alone) (Leave me alone) (Leave me alone) Leave me alone-stop it!

gagaxsebert 5,804 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Round 1 Promo - Dino$aur “D-I-N-O-S-A, -U-R a dinosaur” That’s right ladies Kesha is letting Grandma know how she’s being an old creep stalking your insta pics. Embodies the very “different” theme and I can’t see why you wouldn’t give this a 10. @Mikolaj @DiamondKing @Animal Claws @Marges @dllcll @Mirages @Jose P @Davian @Nuggets @Florian @Ryusei @Bloody Grammys @Sechito @Varys @Juanlittlem @loathereality @SamanthaC @Talenti @Gimme More @Musicisfreedom@Ally Campana @Antonio @BLACKPINK Used to be HighRoad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dllcll 2,101 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Round 1 Promo - Good Years by Zayn Well, in my mini explanation I was talking about the opening lines of the song, but the bridge also suits the theme: “Need a chance just to breathe, feel alive And when the day meets the night, show me the light Feel the wind and the fire hold the pain deep inside It's in my eyes In my eyes” And a special reenact of the events: (the ig post) Later that day Zayn is casually checking his ig... When suddenly he sees the reply... ... “I’d rather be anywhere, anywhere but here” And scene! Spoiler @A Hybrid III Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sechito 490 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 ROUND 1 PROMO - DEAD TO ME - MELANIE MARTINEZ So, grandma's commented on your pic. You want to look cool and she's made a fool of you. "I need to kill you That's the only way to get you out of my head Oh, I need to kill you" The rational answer, of course, is death! She's old anyway it's not like she matters to you! "To silence all the sweet little things you said I really want to kill you Wipe you off the face of my earth And bury your bracelet Bury your bracelet Six feet under the dirt" EXTRA: HER REACTION TO THE COMMENT: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
