A singing taco

Taco wants revenge: an outstanding musical number (IMO) from one of the latest episodes of Inanimate Insanity, which is the 2nd most popular Object Show, second only to Battle For Dream Island, created in 2010 by Cary and Michael Huang (previously)
Man, object shows are the best.
I've been planning to make a post about them for the past 5 years or so.

I find them utterly baffling, but I have kids who are SOOOO into it.

Your (previously) sent me back to The Scale Of The Universe, which is still amazing.
I thought "Hmm, the other Solar System bodies are photorealistic but Pluto looks inaccurate..." and then I remembered it was made before New Horizons got there.
Anyway, not to derail, I listened to the taco song. It was fine. A lot of post-Sondheim musical numbers seem to delight in singing hugeamountsoftextreallyfast. The singer did well with it, the text had lots of clever internal rhymes, but it... bounced off me, a bit. For me, it just didn't have the proper swash for a villain number, and I didn't connect with it emotionally. But I still admire the craftsmanship.
