The Walking Dead: It’s all about Rick’s face

Do you ever find yourself trying to explain to a friend what your favorite show, The Walking Dead, is all about? We have all been there.

It’s about the people more than the zombies.

It’s a survival story.

It’s about trying to maintain your humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.

It’s about family.

I’m guessing you’ve heard them all! But stop and think for a moment. How do you track the different seasons? What sets the tone for each story arc? What did Tobin mention in season 6 episode 7 “Heads Up”??

That’s right! Rick’s beard — whether it be short, long, or non-existent. We can all mark time and the story line of The Walking Dead according to the amount of facial hair on Rick Grimes!!

So, while I truly do NOT have too much time on my hands, I did take the time to compose lyrics for a parody version of  Meghan Trainor‘s popular song “All About That Bass”.

Without further ado, I give you “All About Rick’s Face” and a poll to vote for your favorite Rick look. Enjoy!

I have to say it’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face…face face face face.

No matter what you hear, he’s that guy who
Might not shave it, shave it, like you’re supposed to
But with those baby blue eyes he will persuade us,
He’s got all the right stubble in all the right places.

I see the pantry room, with all its canned crops,
But ain’t no razors there! They’re always out of stock.
If they have shaving cream it must be locked up.
Every shelf has just canned soup from the bottom to the top.

My best friend, she told me, don’t worry about who dies.
The girls, they just want to see Rick and his baby blue eyes.
You know he won’t be like Shane with his head all shaven and bald.
‘Cause he’ll have that stubble and hair oh so curly and long!

I have to say it’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face.

He brought bearded back.
Go tell those Alexandrians that.
And if they say they think that’s bad,
I’m here to tell you, every whisker is perfection from his chin up to his chops!

My best friend, she told me, don’t worry about who dies.
The girls, they just want to see Rick and his baby blue eyes.
You know he won’t be like Shane with his head all shaven and bald.
‘Cause he’ll have that stubble and hair oh so curly and long!

I have to say it’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face,
That stubble!
It’s all about Rick’s face, ’bout Rick’s face!
