Hard Notes: Streams accented by clusters of three sixteenths thrown in 
 regularly.

Expert Notes: Many, many more sixteenths.  The synth sections are now 
 completely fleshed out with steps.  Also, mind the few mines.

EXP: 11     628      32       6      32       4

Play Notes: The song is almost entirely 166 except for the end, where it 
 gradually slows down to 88 in the last couple of measures.

Hard Notes: Streams with quite a few crossovers, a gallops section about 
 twenty seconds in, and a few sixteenths.

Expert Notes: This is *probably* the easiest 11.  Sure, the song is freakin' 
 hard, but the only truly difficult part is the long sixteenth stretch.  Well, 
 apart from that, there's a long section where it's just on one or two arrows, 
 and others where it's just the left and right arrows.  Take care on all the 
 holds that crop up, as well.

EXP: 12     764      68       5      58

Play Notes: The song goes at 250 for the majority.  Twice in the first 
 half of the song, it will slow down to 120 for a brief moment.  Soon after, 
 it will gradually slow down to a full stop.  Some time after that, it will 
 slow down to 112 for several seconds, then go back up to normal, but 
 gradually building in strength each measure until it gets up to 300, then 
 takes a big jump up to 600 for the rest of the song.

Hard Notes: Well, yeah, it's tough.  Not only speed-wise, but the mines'll 
 get ya, too.  The steps themselves aren't particularly complicated, though, 
 but you'll have more than your hands full just trying to keep up with the 
 song.

Expert Notes: Phew, is all.  Lots and lots of mines, and lots and lots of 
 steps.  Basically, it's a lot of long streams at high speeds.  Again, the 
 steps themselves never get too difficult, except for the sixteenths, which 
 may be faster than man is capable, but what do I know.  Soooo many mines, 
 though.

EXP:  9     551      25       9       3       4

Hard Notes: The only part that's not a simple stream is a pattern that 
 follows the rhythm and repeats itself many times.  You'll get quite used to 
 it.

Expert Notes: Tons of sixteenths, like you expected anything else?  It's 
 mostly made up of small clusters centered around the rhythm, as usual.

 on the percussion hits.  During the chorus, you'll follow the piano behind 
 the lyrics.

Lyrics: 

You got MC confusion?  I'm Frontalot!
If I were MC Frontalittle I'd be telling you only ever what I'm not
But I am the most frontingest
Carving off the obfuscation, little something just
To confuse you with, and like a villain
I got conundrums, your empty head they gonna fill in
Still in effect, the mock you made?
My dexterity ain't 20 when the skills are displayed
S'allright I took it for a compliment
Shows you know nerdcore's extent

Which MC was that? I can't recollect
Heard him on the Internet, it was MC Front-a-something
But, I didn't hit save
Which MC was that? I couldn't say.

Maybe it was MC Matter-of-Fact
Got the authenteezy easy riding his act
Always speaking the truth, never fronts one bit
He and DJ So-Sincere don't quit
But, I think for some reason that it wasn't him
Wait was it was MC Out-on-a-limb?
With the very risky rapping, don't know what'll happen
To the time, a verbal contortionist
Squeezing tongue portions, sublime
On the mic 'cept for when the bough's breaking
Picked him out the line-up, mistaked him
Yo, it was definitely MC Wrong
Rocking jam after jam of inaccurate songs
Then again it coulda been MC Insight
Striking suckers stone blind with the lyrical light
Must confess, I'm hard pressed to be certain
Was it MC Hides-Behind-the-Curtain
Calling "pay no attention to man on the mic"
Must be a wizard when he rhymes so tight
You're having difficulty dredging out your brain: the fact
Of which MC was that?

Which MC was that? I can't recollect
Heard him on the Internet, it was MC Front-a-something
But, I didn't hit save
which MC was that? I couldn't say.
(I couldn't say)

Step up poindexter, act smarter than you are
About to pull the MC Name out the jar
And whoever guessed closest wins a nine-sided die
And a gift certificate to Fry's
Yo, the moniker is MC Frontalot
I got a +1 bag of nerdcore hiphop
And my mail list busted a hundred so I'm famous
It's unbelievable nobody know what my name is

Hard Notes: Mostly simple streams.  Some jumps in the streams and a few 
 sixteenth clusters and off-beat steps.

Expert Notes: Watch for the hands and mines; they're all in easy-to-spot 
 points.  The entire chart is more sixteenth heavy, and also quite jump 
 heavy, particularly in the parts where you're matching the rhythm.  About 
 three-fourths in, the steps get quite complicated.

Hard Notes: All too easy.  Simple streams, and only a few off-beat steps.

Expert Notes: Still pretty simple, even for a 9.  Yeah, it's no cakewalk, but 
 the sixteenths are quite easy to spot, the mines are pretty easy to avoid, 
 and the slow tempo makes it quite relaxing.

Lyrics: 

Why me
Why me
Why me
Why did you do it to me?

Hey, hey

Why me
Why me
Why me
I know there's no guarantee

Hey, hey

Why me (me me me me)

Something's going wrong
You're much too close
You're much too close to my heart

When I dance with you
It's like makin' love
It's like a shock in the dark

When you touch me
I can hear the music
I'm fallin' into the sky

When you kiss me
I can feel the music
And there's a pulse driving high

Why me
Why me
Why me
Why did you do it to me?

Hey, hey

Why me
Why me
Why me
I know there's no guarantee

Hey, hey, hey

Babe, why did you do it to me?

Why me

Dancin' through the night
I feel your skin
To fall in love's not a crime

Take me on a ride
To liberty
But, baby, please take the time

Why me
Why me
Why me
Why did you do it to me?

Hey, hey

Why me

Babe, why did you do it to me?

Why me

Why meeeeee

Hard Notes: There are many long streams and a few sixteenths in this song, 
 but the slow speed makes them quite bearable.  Just stay sharp on the 
 mines.  They'll crawl ya.

Expert Notes: The beginning is easy enough, even with all the holds and 
 mines.  Once you get to the middle is when things start getting ugly.  
 First, you have to demonstrate being able to do twelfths with one foot and 
 eighths with the other.  After that, messy sixteenths all over the place, 
 then sixteenths and mines thrown together in a big mess.

 thirty-second notes.  More holds, more jumps.  Several mines, and a few 
 hands at relatively simple times.

Play Notes: There are four stops in this song after the halfway point, but 
 they don't last more than a second, except for the last one, which is a bit 
 longer.

Hard Notes: It's all streams.  They get pretty long, but none get very 
 difficult.

Expert Notes: Watch out for LOTS of mines.  Make sure you hold the stops in 
 the song, because they all have holds on them until after the music starts 
 up again.  There are also a whole mess of sixteenths that follow the nasty 
 rhythm.

Lyrics:

Don't promise me a world

That you can't cross alone
Don't promise me a light
That you cannot turn on

Happiness comes
Beautiful rhythm (beautiful rhythm)
I can feel it now

Happiness comes
Beautiful rhythm (beautiful rhythm)
I can feel it now

Don't promise me a fire
That's already burned out
Though it's not your fate
Don't promise me life
Don't promise me your love
If you don't love yourself (love yourself)

Hard Notes: The main melody follows the steps fairly well.  The rest is odd 
 steps on the off-melody sections and streams.

Expert Notes: A billion (well, 190) holds in this song, now.  Most of them 
 are on the main rhythm, but they're everywhere.  Not too many more steps, 
 though.
