Attack!
That's what the headlines say
We're back!
Today is Zombie Day
Get back!
It's the police brigade
And I'm sorry Mr. Policeman,
But to live
I've gotta eat your brains

Invade!
That's what I'm made to do
Eat brains!
That's what I need for food
Get laid!
Oh, yeah, I'd like to dude,
But my girl's a rotting corpse
And that just won't do
No, it just won't do

It is not my fault
So don't freak out at me
You just look so delicious
When you start to bleed
And you know I can't control
What's happening to me
Cause it's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet I'm gonna feed

You're head!
Cracks open like an egg
You're dead!
And now for your right leg
It's sad!
But that's the way it's got to be
Because eatin' flesh
Is my destiny

Wow!
It is not my fault
So don't freak out at me
You just look so delicious
When you start to bleed
And you know I can't control
What's happening to me
Cause it's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet I'm gonna all the brains in your head
It's the Night of the Living Dead
And you can bet your fuckin' ass
That I am gonna feed

Brains!
More Brains!

    This is arguably the coolest BML song thus far. It's more about Return of the Living Dead than Night of the Living Dead, but Romero's awesome, and I love stealing material from the Misfits, hence the 'destiny' line, it's from Ghouls Night Out. The Brains More Brains part is outta Return.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
