[@aideniridescence1437]

I'm no music expert but I knew there was something weird about the beat or notes. I only listen to regular music and feels like this one is ever so slightly off but ends up actually alright. I find it hard to explain how I felt when I listened to this song accidentally a few times. Chorus baseline feels really weird. It's like the notes of the lyrics are "weirdly" matched up to the base. I also feel like the way the lyrics are sung are from a different song super imposed to a different music... but it weirdly works.

[@hanabi8698]

[@spaghettiking653]

If anyone is wondering, the "se se se~" part of the song is referring to a nursery rhyme that goes "せっせっせーのよいよいよい", sessessee no yoiyoiyoi, which may imitate the rhythm the players sound out when playing a round of rock-paper-scissors. Possibly also related to いっせーの, isseeno, sorta like a "heave-ho" interjection. Thought its exact origin is unknown.
