Oh yeah, it’s coming. We all knew that eventually the dead would rise from their graves to shuffle awkwardly about in search of human brains, or as the zombies prefer to call it, “brrrraaaaaaiiiins.”
All the signs were there: The bottomless Resident Evil series, a crappy sequel to “28 Days Later,” Jane Austen, Woody Harrelson … The zombies are coming, make no bones about it. Make sure your iPod is properly cued when they do.
Top 5 songs for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse
1. “Re: Your Brains,” Jonathan Coulton
You always knew that your coworkers were zombies. Now finally, the cards are on the table. All they very reasonably want is to simply gnaw on your grey matter.
2. “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Queen
While the eponymous character and his friends in “Shaun of the Dead” need to bring the pain, they bring the Queen … somewhat accidently.
3. “Sleepwalker,” Jim’s Big Ego
Jim Infantino describes the life of a real-life zombie in everything but name.
I like to think of this song as being song by a zombie, which accounts for the shrieking and gutturals of The Cranberries’ singer Dolores O’Riordan.
5. “Le Moribond,” Jacques Brel
Known in English as “Seasons In The Sun,” made famous in English by artists like The Kingston Trio and Terry Jacks, and made good by Nirvana. Think back fondly to the world that was, for it is now overcome by hungry, hungry zombies.
1. “Business Time,” Flight of the Conchords
