Ooh, I'd love to see what could come out of Woman King or Nobody Likes You When You're Dead. I also love Janelle Monae, but I'm only familiar with her Metropolis suite and I feel like those songs work better together than individually?

I've definitely nominated Woman King because I'd read that story in a hot minute, and I'm waffling over the Zombina one (mostly because I want to see if I can choose a potentially happier song or something, because a lot of the ones I've nominated already have a crazy-post-apocolypse/event/disaster vibe, oops.)

I can see that, but I think some of the songs are a little less dependent on place and setting. Still, there are so many other things to nom. I think I'm less likely to nominate Monae and also the Phenomenauts, whose stage presence is heavily tied into their musical ventures, yet is probably mostly-inexplicable to the uninitiated without some other kind of reference. (Which I'd be happy to provide if it was more in keeping with the challenge, but I don't think it is.)
