About the University of Florida student who said too much, too tactlessly to John Kerry, and got tased for his efforts.

Cool. Gotta check out the You Tube video. I liked the sound effects.
Might as well review my own...
Idea: 8 - Original idea, nice title sub. Timely.
Lyrics/humor: 5 - There's not much going on lyrics-wise, and if you haven't seen the video of this taser incident, well, it's not going to be that funny.
Singing: 2 - As Yoda might say, "Robert Plant, you are not". Vocals are occasionally off time with the music and this sounds like it was recorded in one take.
Backing track: 9 - Sounds really close to TOS. Cutting out the long solo probably upset Zeppelin fans (if your voice didn't already), but I consider it a plus.
Production/mixing: 7 - The vocals are completely flat, but otherwise a good job.
Sound effects/bites: 9 - Excellent. Having that dude actually sing the title line was great. You might have gotten carried away at the end a bit, but I can't get enough of that taser sound.
Video: n/a, though this song and the YouTube video are roughly the same length - you could possibly do something with that.
Overall: 5 - The vocals need a LOT of work, and since this was based on a news story it will be dated extremely quickly. A year from now no one is going to know what the hell this is about.
Thanks, Adam!

Had a marvellously paranoid feel to it... sure, you're no Robert Plant, but hell, who is? The actual "don't tase me bro" line worked very well.
POTM- Love the addition of taser dude, albeit a little too much at the end. The music was really good, but the singing was not that good. But kudos for tackling Plant's vocals. That guy is almost as tough as trying to do freakin' Rob Zombie.
This song still creeps me out, but I liked the way you used kept the sound effects from the video in the song. I don't think this is your best song vocally though....
Ditto Your Own Review:)
Great timing, obviously, you should have gotten a ton of hits just for that. The vocals...just okay, but the lyrics were great.
Thanks Phil, Mikey, Matthias, Dave and Jeff!
