I personally didn't like it too much... sorry Rebecca, just not my kind of music.

He also insults men a lot, and the gaming world as a whole in general. My point is, who exactly has he insulted that specifically got under her skin? I've watched literally all of his videos from start to finish (not recently, admittedly, but over the course of time) and not once do I recall her name ever coming up.

Also, no, I just about never find Movie Bob amusing, nor do I agree with his taste in movies more than once every Pixar flick, and his insights are just... well not very insightful, if he even ever offers one.

I've watched six "series" on this site, and in order from best to worst I'd rank them: Unskippable, Doraleous, ENN, Zero Punctuation, Muses, and then Movie Bob. I do still watch Bob, if for no other reason than because I'm always curious as to why so many people love him and want to give him a fair shot... over and over again. Maybe one day I'll get it.

It's really astonishing how little you understand about the song. The last few lines give a lot of insight to the meaning; did you just skip them?

I think the song is great; I usually ignored Rebbecca till now, but she has made a fan out of me. C:

I loved it, but I cannot work out what the end bit meant (also, she seemed genuinely hostile towards him at the end. I'm guessing "It's Ironic", but any explanations, anyone?)

So what's you're opinion on the song?

I loved it! I honestly want it on my MP3 player.

EDIT:I accidentally hit the enter button before I finished, and it won't let me add the rest of the options. How do I fix this?
Just go to your post and hit "Edit" Then you can put them in.

Meh it seemed like a whine-fest to me. I've listen to a couple of her songs/videos, but she's way to goddamn whiney for my tastes. I don't really get it, it seemed more like she is just trying to latch on to his popularity rather than actually write a song about him.

When I first saw the note about her writing a song about him, I assumed it would be one about him as if she liked him or whatever, but this just comes across like her whining about him saying something mean to/about her, which is a tad childish to be honest.

Also I refuse to vote in the poll above, because it is unbalanced. I vote for it sucking arse.

Rebecca Mayes is the second worst person on this site (first being Movie Bob)
Movie Bob actually has a pretty large following on The Escapist, lost of people like him.

As for the song, I liked it.

Rebeca should keep doing her thing, and people just need to accept that.

I watched it the first day it came out and again today. Its pretty meh, but what gets at my tits is that she's dick riding Yhatzee for views. When Doraleous did it, it was satirical and not the main plot point of the show. When Unskippable did it, it was just for fun. Neither of them really made a big fuss about it.

Either way, I tried a couple of her songs. Don't think I'll ever venture to that part of the site again.

I really don't like 95% of what Rebecca puts out which is why I stopped listening to her.
Which is why I wasn't too happy about half of the ZP video being her song.

I found the lyrics to be nonsensical at times and the chorus is very repetitive. Her music just seems to have no force or energy behind it. Not even that it's slow or anything, I like slow music - I like telepopmusik for instance and their stuff is really downtempo - but it has FORCE to it. I can't explain it.

But hey, it's just not my thing. I'm sure she puts a lot of work into her songs and videos.

I'm really, really surprised. People seem to have been unaware of this song before today, despite the fact Miss Mayes posted it on this very site less than a week ago.

It's sad, really, that people are so ignorant to the other great content available on the Escapist.

Community, I am disappoint.
It's not that I in particular wasn't aware of it, it's just that I'm not the biggest fan of the RMM videos. I tend toward LRR, ZP, D&A... Videos meant to fit a broader range of tastes and interests rather than the thoughts/"musings" of a single individual.

I'm rather suprised by Yahtzee putting that on the end of his show, especially since i don't think the girl can sing anyways, or by this case, draw either.

Gyah, I did watch it, and I don't get it. That's the whole point of me asking what she's talking about. How about less "you shoul knows", and more "this is whys", if you understand what her deal is. I can't really tell when she's trying to keep it somewhat friendly, what's her legitimate beef, and what her point is.

And in response to someone else who said Bob has a large following. I know. I just don't know why. I just saw his Eclipse review and he managed to make a video insulting Twilight suck.

She seems like a raging psychopath. If she wrote a song like that for/about me I think I'd take out a restraining order.

Oh, right we're talking about the song. Yeah, I'd like to take out a restraining order on that as well. The song is not allowed to be played within a half mile of me.
I am sorry but you have no taste in women...ok sorry couldn't resist that comment. After all my friend dated "normal" girls all seemed nice then turned crazy, I mean psycho killer crazy (we are on number 3 or 4).

Oh righ the music, um I saw this on her show and I thought it was interesting. With me all her work is hit or miss. But it all has a spark of creativity to it. I am glad her music doesn't change to please the masses as that generally causes more problems than it is worth to gain a few new fans. I may not like all art but I at least try to respect the artist.
