Non-music track contained within a compilation album--how to handle?

MusicBrainz Style

So I got this compilation cd and ripped it, and luckily it had CD_TEXT data for entering all the track titles (since there’s no tracklist posted anywhere)

The final track of this is as such:

// Track 17
CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE 0 {
    TITLE "I tell him this same joke every"
    PERFORMER "jordan1morris"
  }
}

This is just unedited audio from this tiktok. How do I handle entering this? It’s not part of misc. data–it’s labeled as a track. Leave it out? Theatre? Just add “jordan1morris” as an artist and this as a release?

The closest precedent I could find on the forums for this was regarding some sketch radio broadcasts. Would this also apply here?

Best,
yosh

On second thought, it took writing this entire post out and ruminating over it until I realized that… this is just a recording. It’s part of this release. I was overcomplicating it in my head.

I’ve done this so many times, lol… welcome to the wonderful world of MusicBrainz~

that said, there’s a ton of non-music in MusicBrainz (despite the name), from behind-the-scenes bonus content on a CD or bonus DVD, to audiobooks and podcasts, to [third example]

I’m not familiar with CD TEXT, is PERFORMER equivalent to a typical Artist tag? if so, I’d probably set the artist as jordan1morris (especially if it’s not listed on the track listing, which it looks like it’s not from that Bandcamp page)

It’s basically the track artist (or album artist if track 0).
Wikipedia has compiled some nice info and links about CD-TEXT format.

With the softwares I use for editing MB, this PERFORMER is labelled as just “Artist”.
