Sam Baguley terrible concept, perfect execution. Favorite track: Aliens Exist 2 (Swackhammer's Lament).

Naomi Meyer I'd never have thought that a folk punk concept album would become one of my favorite albums of 2015, but here we are. Hilarious, catchy, and strangely poignant, Come on and Slam takes what could have been a one note joke and creates something wonderful Favorite track: Take It From Me, Michael Jordan.

Metro Catpiss There's literally nothing bad you can say about this album. Unless you're one of those people who gets off on telling everyone all about how terrible you think everything is. In that case, go listen to some math rock. Favorite track: The Big Game (Movements 1 & 2).

What am I gonna do for the rest of my days? I just quit Basketball, I must be insane Gotta find a new sport for me to pick Just make the ball smaller and give me a stick make the ball smaller and give me a stick Trade in my shorts for polyester pants Give me a bat and give me a chance Used to be in the NBA All-Star Team Now my team is kinda lame and so are my dreams Now my team is kinda lame and so are my dreams I’m the tallest man on the team this year I’m a baseball player, this feels kinda weird This isn’t even fiction even though it seems My name is Michael Jordan, don’t question my dreams

I can’t believe this My life is pointless I have a theme park It’s unsuccessful Sometimes I feel like I’m just an alien living in space, man Because I am one And this not how I expected my life to turn out I’m overweight and lonely there’s no doubt And maybe if the Looney Tunes were here I could stop living my every single day in fear And so I’ll send my only friends to the Looney Tune world. I guess I’ll see you In a few days, you know I’ll miss you You better come back with Bugs Bunny, too And this not how I expected my life to turn out I’m overweight and lonely there’s no doubt And maybe if the Looney Tunes were here I could stop living my every single day in fear

I’m sorry Bill Murray but you’ll never be The star of my NBA all-star team I’m sorry Bill Murray but you’ll never see A minute of play, unless it’s on TV I’m sorry Bill Murray I wish you wouldn’t cry You’re an actor and a millionaire and a pretty good guy I’m sorry Bill Murray it’s just not in the cards You’re too short, and awkward, and basketball’s hard I’m sorry Bill Murray I wish I could say Something to make you feel better make everything go away I’m sorry Bill Murray maybe you’re right Maybe an alien spaceship will come in the middle of the night I’m sorry Bill Murray if it’s possible at all That maybe all the aliens will just want to challenge me in basketball I’m sorry Bill Murray but that could never happen Unless we were in a cartoon world, oh man, could you even imagine? I wish I could believe in you I wish I could believe in you I wish I could believe in anything I wish I could believe in you I’m sorry Bill Murray but you’ll never be The star of my NBA all-star team

What should we do What should we do These tiny aliens want to turn us into space slaves We only have chance We only have chance To beat them in a competition of our choice We should challenge them in a game of Basketball I don’t know much, yeah I don’t know much at all But I know short people have trouble playing Basketball Besides Mugsey Bogues, the exception that proves the rule This plan is foolproof Oh, it’s a full proof plan I guess we’re assuming that these aliens don’t have undisclosed powers Cause that would suck, man That would really bust my gourd If they could do something crazy like harness NBA player’s skills

It doesn’t feel the same It doesn’t feel the same I feel like an alien Took everything I’ve got It doesn’t feel the same I don’t know what’s going on in my brain I feel like I’m goin’ insane But I know I’m not And I need you more than ever but you’re gone Yeah I need you more than ever but you’re gone

This would be so much easier as a training montage, a cool eighties song in the background, please. Speed through this, we’ve got a bunch of other stuff to do, now. [SHRED] Now we’re good at basketball

The game begins, hopes are high We need to win, we need to try our hardest The game is tough, we’re already losing We’re taking some hits, we’re taking a bruising Everybody get up its time slam now, we got a real jam going now welcome to the space jam here’s your chance do your dance at the space jam Know what are we gonna do? Everybody is falling apart We need you, Bill Murray We need you to play It’s your time to shine It’s time to save the day We need you, Bill Murray We need to play We just need a warm body And I guess you’ll do today [spoken] So, miraculously, after an eloquent motivational locker room speech by bugs bunny and some questionable “performance enhancing substances,” the Looney Tunes have managed to orchestrate an insane comeback. Time-wise, I’m not really sure how it all worked, but the important part is that Bill Murray is there and they’re only down one point with just a few seconds left. Now, Michael Jordan has the ball and he’s honestly about half way across the court with mere moments left on the clock. NOW CONVENTIONAL KNOWLEDGE would dictate that this is an impossible situation. There’s no WAY he can make it, the Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan are going to be Space Slaves at an amusement park, YOU GET IT. But Michael doesn’t play by your rules, and he understands something that none of us do. So he jumps, and he stretches, and his arm starts stretching, and it stretches and it stretches and the clock is counting down and he’s stretching and he’s stretching and you know what? he makes it. he makes the shot. Everybody get up its time slam now, we got a real jam going now welcome to the space jam here’s your chance do your dance at the space jam
