* Like Ooh-Aah by Twice
Twice is a K-pop girl group and this song is about finding love. The beginning of the song speaks of people being attracted to them in one way or another and not leaving them alone, which is comically portrayed with these zombies. The scenes with the zombies are my favorite because the girls are dancing so happily while these creatures would love to eat them. The ending has one being cured presumably by their music or maybe love. It's a light and fluffy portrayal of zombies.
* Last One by The Aces
The song starts out super sugary sweet, not only in their almost overstrained smiles but in the constant eating and presence of gummy bears. As the video goes on, the girls look worse and worse until they are zombies. As zombies, they lose that oversmiley facade and show how they really feel. The song itself is about being tired of an ex sneaking into their songs and promising over and over that this will be the last one, perhaps making the zombism represent obsession over the past relationship. The teddy bear was hilarious with its sign that says "You have 5 days to live."
* Big Zombie by Mekons
Despite the lively beat, this song seems a bit melancholy. The singer drives around town during the zombie apocalypse looking for dinner. He says several times that he's the big zombie and doesn't feel human tonight. I imagine that would be true if you were surrounded by zombies.
