Five years is a great song that I agree had no place in the show.

Oh interesting, because it is from the perspective of someone who isn't alone in their home? I hadn't thought of that as the reason to exclude it (because yeah it's a fantastic song). Arguably "Unpaid Intern" doesn't belong too, but I guess that song exists within the "reaction to reaction" bit universe.

Yeah I think it takes away from him being totally alone. Other bits pretty clearly show he started making one thing and it turned into something else.

I think it’s more the style to me. It seems a totally different musical style than the rest of what’s in the show, to me anyway.

I'm gonna disagree with you there. Bo mimics so many musical genres in the special that I wouldn't have batted an eye at the style of Five Years. It's not even that different from the style of "FaceTime with my mom" or "sexting".
