Day 1: My Favorite Hank Song

Hellooooo there friends!


So I'm not gonna lie - this one was legitimately difficult to decide on.  My first thought was that I should just figure out which one is stuck in my head all the time, and that one is my favorite.  That one would be DFTBA or This Isn't Hogwarts.  But then after thinking about it for a while, I realized that I would not consider either of those my favorites.  Then I thought that I should look at my itunes and figure which one has the most plays (tie between Accio Deathly Hallows and Nerdfighterlike) and although I could listen to the multitudinous versions of Accio Deathly Hallows for a very long time, and hearing Hank and Katherine sing Nerdfighterlike makes my heart melt, neither of those are my favorites either.  And then I thought about a few other songs that I just really like, such as Luck of my Life, WWCPD, Jesus Gets Nothing for Christmas, Dead Boy's Girlfriend, I Know, Crime Dramas Suck, A Song About an Anglerfish and many, many more.  Basically, I don't really have a favorite Hank song, but I guess if I absolutely had to pick, I would choose A Song About an Anglerfish.  I think that what really appeals to me about this song is it's multi-level interpretation scheme (ps I have no idea if that phrase makes sense in human life), which totally mirrors a ton of vlogbros videos and just a lot of stuff that they do - making something simple (like the reproduction method and life of an anglerfish) correlate to a much deeper and meaningful theme.  That strategy resonates really well with me and find that song to be a piece of sheer brilliance. 


That is my very long-winded answer to a very simple question.  Also, I realize that this is technically a day later that I said it would be, seeing as it is now October 10th, but I'm still counting it as the 9th because I haven't gone to sleep yet. Yes, I cheat. Deal with it :)
