First post! It's a bit of a gravedig though =/, but I was considering making my own topic about this until I noticed this 'un peeking out of the bottom of the page. (And profuse apologies if someone's already posted this one, I did skim down the topic to check...)

Marble Hornets has managed to ruin improve the following song for me:

Pointer Sisters - Automatic



"But this is a really upbeat song from the 80s! How the &^#$# does it remind you of MH?" I hear half a person say. Well, let's have a look at the lyrics (emphasis and attempts to explain my madness here added)...

Frank Black's "Men in Black". It especially reminds me a Alex's situation in the really early entries, and Jay's in the current videos.



Another good one is "Where You're Eyes Don't Go" by They Might Be Giants. This is a pretty freaky song:

[AbuDabu]

This is the song that initially introduced me to the series. I was looking for this specific song on YouTube and the first video was a montage of Marble Hornets/totheark clips. In my opinion it was a perfect fit, and I got hooked.

THREAD REVIVAL

This song always makes me think of Marble Hornets.
Interestingly enough, it was featured in a horror movie, 1993's "Amityville: A New Generation."

The name of the song is "Attention," which as we all know is the name of a A TTA video.
But that isn't the only thing that reminds me of MH in this song.
Look at these lyrics. Look at them.

Lyrics:
Hey!
Now that you have my attention,
What are you gonna do?
You might have good intentions
But they're not coming through
You're very pleased with yourself I see,
It's like a walk in the park
You aren't enlightened by anybody else, cause
You can see in the dark

Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains

I tried a subtle suggestion
A more direct approach
A can't make a connection
You're beyond reproach
No need for petty excuses
No need for thumbing around
I don't know what the use is
or what you're throwing down

Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains

Mixed voices:

Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like the attention?
Do you like the attention you get from me?
Hey! Yeah! Hey! Hey!

Now that you have my attention...

Got some kind of vice-like grip on me

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey... (etc.)

Got a lock,
Got a key.

Mostly because of the drumwhirl (kinda sounds like sparkling like the distortion we hear in some entries) and the synth, but the repetition on the word "hunter" makes me relate to TO or possibly Jay in his "hunt" for truth

[Black Sand]

Someone ACTUALLY made a band based off Totheark.

[ShadowCross]

I can just see totheark listening to this while stalking people.

The video and the subtle creepiness of this song remind me so much of MH.
Nothing about the lyrics or anything in particular about the video, just the mood it sets.
