August Folk Zombie Love Songs!

For August we focused on the under appreciated musical style, Post Zombie Apocalyptic Love Songs, to the tune of Folk Music.  Specific enough?  Jesus, that is a mouthful.  Okay!  So there are a good handful of songs and they are all a lot of fun.  Have a listen and vote for your favorite below!

Look at that shitty zombie drawing over there.  Don't you just fall right in love with him?  Forget the half face and the bloody fingers.  I mean look at HIM.  He's beautiful.  You can now relate to these songs.





Jack Eggleston - The Comedy
My comments: Jack wrote a real epic here.  It's just almost 6 and a half minutes long and has a pretty melancholy sound to it.  I really enjoy the sound and feel but like most times with Jack I have a hard time understanding the lyrics.

Danny Imig - I Think I'm Married to a Zombie
My comments: Danny's song is both great and hilarious.  The folk sty-lings come pretty well to him and the song has a great sound to it.  I especially love the "giddy up" feel of the chorus.  I love the lyrics and their potential double meaning.  Am I looking too much into it?  Maybe, either way.  Great job as always!

Brian Salapek - My Zombie Girlfriend
My comments: Not very folky on my part, but I really like the sound of it.  Add in a joke from Mr. Joe Ullo ("If I could write songs mine would have the title, "I used to go down on you but now you're the one who wants to eat me."") and WHAM-O!  I can't help but to feel that the main guitar lead part feels like a Jack Johnson song.  Oh well

Rene Zansman - Zombie Apocalypse Song
My comments: This is a two-part epic from Rene.  The first part is called "Talking Zombie Apocalypse Blues" and takes up the first minute or so.  It has a good sloppy folk feel with the harmonica and the vocals.  After that it flows really well into part 2, "Zombie Love Song."  This part is right along what I've come to expect from Rene.  It's a pretty poppy acoustic song and is really catchy at times.
