Ok. So this isn’t a regular type of song I’d review except that this song and this game is just pure genius. It’s not on the same level as “Still Alive” in terms of epic-ness but on a cute and awesome scale, this song raises the bar.
I won’t bother talking about the game other than it’s awesome and click the link to check it out on the Steam store. My friend, Sei from Sekushii Island, told me to watch the Plants Vs. Zombies Music Video from the Steam Product Page. At first, there was a bit of a facepalm. ~Oh wow. The marketing on this game is crazy.~ Then the lyrics kick in, and from there, it’s just… infectious? Maybe? Not quite on the Gee level though. After getting a heads up on Destructoid about there being a Japanese version to this song, and there being links to the Composer/Performer, Laura Shigihara’s blog, I had to investigate. There’s a really cute back story to how “Zombies On Your Lawn” came to be so give ‘er a read!
So anyway, what can I really say about this track other than it’s got everything that it needs to be as cute and viral as it already is. The instrumental is simple, yet fun and playful, and doesn’t take away from or drown out the main focus – the lyrics. These lyrics are just so adorable. They totally fit the theme and flavor of the game and get the point of zombie-hatred and kick-assy-ness of the plants across while retaining it’s light, playful nature. Ok, so I said a bit. Just give this song a listen. Then go and support and play the game. It’s only $10.
