Haha, I knew from the moment I read the title that it was a play on that movie title. Cool 60's/70's psych rock vibes. And fuck the haters, rhyming words against themselves is a power move.

Diggin the 60s feels with the vocal harmonies and fuzz guitars.  A fun lyrical journey throughout as always

I really enjoyed this, loved the harmonies in the chorus!

Cool tune man.  I love the solo and bridge around 1:40.  What a wonderfully weird world you've created.  I can visualize every absurd lyric.  It's also to think about 2 prisoners arguing about which one is guilty, as if that's how prison works, lol

Had to think of a children’s book I was reading to my kids, when they were small. It was about two gangsters, Spobrockel und der Linke. So I already had a picture in my head, when the music started. And I was not disappointed.

you WHAT?! UNACCEPTABLE!!
...actually, it still feels like two different words: "checked-out" could be one hyphenated word, so it makes sense.
got a nice microcosm of adventure and uplift here

I usually don't pay much attention to the lyrics but I really enjoyed the writing in your track. The whole arrangement worked for this. The chorus with the vocal harmonies was a really nice touch, especially the "shabah shabah", and the little piano notes. A lot of beautiful little touchs that contribute to a great track.

Thanks!  I normally try to avoid the whole rhyming a word with itself thing, but what's the big deal, really?  Maybe I'll lean into it and do it even more! 

Thanks!  I had fun coming up with the story for this one. 

Thanks!  Tasty melodies are the best kind of melodies in my opinion.

Thanks!  Those harmonies are probably my favorite part as well.

It would be funny if prison worked that way.  I think I may have been subtly influenced by that prisoner's dilemma game where you have to choose whether to cooperate or flip on each other.

That sounds like a fun book and a good mental picture for the song.

Yeah, it's a very different usage/meaning for the word "out".  I think that's why I didn't notice for a long time that I did that.

Thanks!  My other main creative outlet is fiction writing, and while I often feel like it uses a different part of my brain than songwriting (lyrics are often more abstract and touch on moods and feelings more than literal sense), sometimes I like to try to bring that storytelling aspect to songs, such as in this case.

I could actually see the muppets enacting the story to this song.

Ha, I knew that title reminded me of something. Great story and lyrics! You are a wonderful imaginative story teller, I appreciate them! The distorted guitar sounds good, just the right crunch. Nice little do woppy sha la la background vox, ha, loved that. Yeah no rules for for rhyming, no rules for anything anymore right?

Cool movie and fun track with a nice grindy guitar tone. I like the fantasy lyrics and story as well.  And some well placed sha la la... la las! Can't go wrong!  Btw, if you like Let the Right One In, you may like another independent vampire film called A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.

Yeah, I figure there are more suggestions than rules, and even if there are rules, then why not break them sometimes?  Who's enforcing these rules anyway?  The song police?  They can get bent!   

Couldn't resist the sha la la's.  They were too much fun to do.  I haven't seen that movie, but I'll have to add it to my ever growing list of stuff to check out.

This is a neat story, and a neat song.
