lyrics

You play as a strong female lead
That's what nintendo proposed
Except her gender's indeterminable
until she takes off her clothes
Appealing to horny kids,
Now what do you suppose
that says about a company trying to promote
progressive gender roles?

You see, you're given an incentive
For beating the game fast
And I'll admit it was inventive
if kind of crass
If you had the skills, and were sufficiently badass
You were rewarded with an image of Samus bikini-clad

So you practice a bunch
it becomes a choreographed dance
Your anticipation builds
as you unwaveringly advance
The enemies won't know what hit them
'cause you're winning every scuffle
As you perform those practiced moves
Known as the zebes shuffle!

Jump! Shoot! Tuck and roll!
Gotta go fast to see Samus disrobed
What's wrong with you?
Are you twelve you years old?
Come on, kid, have better goals

Charge shot! Don't get lost
You'll reach the end
at any cost
Take damage
Just shake it off
Gotta move
No time to stop

Ominus Spiritus
by Headless Nameless

supported by 5 fans who also own “Zebes Shuffle”

à première vue, on a l'impression d'avoir affaire à du pur gothic rock, mais en fait... Pas tout à fait. Il y a dans ce Ominus spiritus quelque chose de très progressif, voire shoegaze parfois, presque post-rock ; en tout cas, c'est sûr : il y a un petit quelque chose en plus qui fait la différence.
