Richie Beretta - Zombie Prom Night

Humans have always been fascinated with the idea of zombies. The reanimated dead have been rising in popularity ever since the 1960s' when George A. Romero took it upon himself to create some of the greatest zombie films of all time. Hearken back to nowadays and we've got films and books popping up everywhere like "28 Days Later" or "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War." Hell, zombies have mindlessly marched their way into the musical scene too, what with songs such as Designer Drugs' single "ZOMBIES!" Here to bring you more of the flesh-hungry undead with his new single "Zombie Prom Night" is Richie Beretta, an up-and-coming New York City electro/indie producer. This song is dominating my ears right now and with good reason: full of infectious melodies and loads of that "NYC Goes Hard" energy, there's nothing else I want to do but dance when I hear it. "Feel-good" doesn't begin to describe this song, and I can't help but grin widely whenever that drop hits; it's almost too fun, too enjoyable. Beretta borrows the use of an acoustic guitar to create a short break in the music and it takes you away from his world full of filtered builds and ravey stabs, only to bring you back within a moment's notice and hit you with a tsunami of overdriven, crackling synth-pop. With the release of this unusual, yet super fun, club banger, I'm all too excited to hear what's to come from Beretta in the future, hopefully in the same vein.

Here's the description of the song by Richie Beretta himself.

"If Zombies had the privilege of going to High School this would be their Prom theme song. Imagine if you will: It is 1997 and Stanley the quiet polite zombie is asking Daisy the hot popular zombie to the prom. And Daisy, that scornful bitch, she declines because she’s going to the prom with Lumbar Jones the quarter back of the football team, the Howard Beach Brain Eaters.

Fastforward to Prom night, and our hero, Stanely, is alone at the table in his aqaumarine tuxedo his mother bought for him at a second hand store. He sees Daisy disappear from the dancefloor with Lumbar Jones out into the parking lot and his heart sinks. Meanwhile in the parking lot Lumbar Jones is being a bit too forceful with Daisy – and Daisy tries to explain to Lumbar that even though she shakes her ass on the dancefloor like a huge zombie whore and wears overly revealing clothes to Home Ec. that she’s waiting for marriage to have sex. Lumbar Jones says “come on baby it’s prom” Just then Daisy realizes that Lumbar is only interested in her rad Zombie bod and that she passed up the man of her dreams, sweet sweet Stanley. Just then she rushes back into Russo’s on the Zombie Bay and shouts “Stanely!” Stanley looks up in disbelief as Daisy rushes over and says “wanna get outta here?” They hop in the limo and go to Sound Factory for the after prom party and eat a bunch of humans."

HOW BADLY DO I WANT TO SEE A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS!?
