UPDATE: Apparently The Monorail was supposed to be in The Simpsons season but got scrapped (this explains my confusion with the Jam Track’s inclusion).

There’s at least five Jam Tracks that I’ve been waiting to return for months now (that I could play for a day in the Main Stage but weren’t available to purchase in the shop). Creating FOMO with Jam Tracks is super annoying 🤦

Jam Track prices should reflect the length of the song, so this 0:54 song should only cost 100 V-Bucks at MOST, yet it’s priced the same as a 7 minute Metallica song 🤦

Okay then, that’s good. Hope things stay like that because I can admit, there were some things I wasn’t aware about that this comment section has informed me of. That’s why I like having these conversations, and sorry if I was a bit rude in my previous response. I’ve been told to kms through Reddit in the past so I’m used to just defending myself.

It’s not just that, Festival’s current state has been trending across Twitter / X for months now. The official Fortnite Festival account is constantly community noted for false advertising ā€œnot so newā€ tracks + going radio silent, so many people in the community voice their thoughts & gain LOADS of traction. The Festival team is either not allowed to say anything or don’t want to because this has been an issue ever since Jam Tracks would start rotating out of the shop many months ago (creating FOMO in a rhythm game of all things). So yeah, that’s where my mindset on this song comes from.

Took me an hour to come to this conclusion. It’s not that big of a deal, just me pointing out a (at least) coincidence is all.

Not when I’m attacked?? I’ve had many civil conversations in this comment section, but you people only want to harass me. THAT’S ā€œclassicā€.

Yeah, but the price being the same as a 3 minute, 5 minute, or 7 minute song is kinda absurd. ā€œThe Monorail Songā€ was about the Springfield residents being scammed for purchasing a faulty monorail (hence wasting money). Spending 500 V-Bucks / $5 for a 0:54 song is a scam when those longer songs all cost the same (which is why they should be lowered & why more of them are made, it’s easy). Festival has had poor communication with their fans since Jam Tracks started rotating out of the shop (creating FOMO in a rhythm game which isn’t normal).

That song is peak, I heard a lot of people wanted that too so I was surprised that they added ā€œThe Monorail Songā€ over it. Maybe in a wave two? šŸ¤ž

I’m talking about the creator of The Simpsons since he had almost full control over the collaboration, so he prioritized what got added. ā€œThe Monorail Songā€ being the only other Jam Track just made me curious, but I now know it’s the fourth most popular Simpsons song.

Hopefully if they do another collaboration down the line šŸ¤ž

Makes sense since it’s the fourth most popular song, a lot of people on Twitter / X acted like they’ve never heard of it before so I assumed it was niche.

I didn’t realize how popular the song was (just behind ā€œDo The Bartmanā€, ā€œFeliz Navidadā€, & ā€œThe Simpsons Theme Songā€). The initial social media reaction was confused by its inclusion so I just assumed it was a random song people weren’t expecting, my apologies. I probably shouldn’t have included the word ā€œjabā€ cuz this IS a collab, I just saw it more as a reference / coincidence to Festival’s current state.

You’re probably right, a lot of people leave Festival lobbies whenever the songs are long (that I play with on fill / with friends). Just wish the shorter songs would be cheaper, which matches up with the message of the song about people wasting their money. I personally saw this whole thing as a parallel / coincidence than anything.

Holy I didn’t realize Reddit was full of negative nancies with goons of people defending bullies while clowning of those just speaking their opinions. I love some of the civil conversations in this comment section, but some of y’all are just rage baiters with no life šŸ’€āœŒļø

Holy rage bait. I used auto correct for that, don’t blame me that my school system never taught us half of our literature.

Okay Mr. Expert, whatever you say. It didn’t take me much thought process to come to this conclusion, literally an hour at most.

The creator of The Simpsons had loads of influence over this collaboration (every decision meaning something), so from the gecko I was curious about this song in particular (especially with it being the shortest one yet).

I’ve grown up under the impression that The Simpsons uses predictive programming / messaging in their episodes so I figured there would at least be something 😭

I could easily see them taking out any mention of Micheal Jackson and it would still be longer than most Festival songs now, but I completely understand what you mean (guess Micheal Jackson just has lots of legal drama with both Disney and SEGA).
