"Hey There Cthulhu!" - Ouça e perca sua sanidade.

O you-tube está repleta de versões engraçadinhas de músicas sobre os Mitos Antigos.

A H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society até chegou a gravar alguns CDs com essas músicas, algumas bem legais, outras mais ou menos...

Mas nenhuma se compara a "Hey There Cthulhu!" de Eben Brooks (o maluco aí no alto) baseada em "Hey There Delillah" música da banda "Plain White T's"

Muito bem escrita e extremamente bem executada e com uma coleção de imagens muito bem escolhidas, ela é de longe a melhor das adaptações do gênero. O troço gruda na cabeça e não solta...

Mas sem mais delongas, eis aqui ela na versão karaokê:




Para conveniência de todos a letra está copiada abaixo também:

HEY THERE CHTHULHU
lyrics copyright © 2008 by Eben Brooks and Allison Lonsdale

Hey there Chthulhu down there in your sunken city
You're a billion light-years distant and the stars look very pretty
From R'lyeh
So close and yet so far away. Ia Iay.

Chthulhu fuh-TAH-gun, or is that Chthulhu fuh-TINE?
I can never quite remember 'cause I'm not in my right minds
Since I met you
No one corrupts the way you do. You know it's true

(Chorus)
Oh, it's what you'll do to me
Oh, and all humanity
Oh, you'll rise up from the sea
Oh, kill everyone slowly
Except the one's like me

Hey there Chthulhu, I've been studying your gospel
The Necronomicon, it gives me nightmares something awful
Where I see
The death of all reality. It fills me with glee

So when the stars are right, you'll come and do your worst
But that's okay because I know you'll eat the cultists like me first
When you get here
I know that day is drawing near. I have no fear

(Chorus)

A billion light-years seems so far
Below the sea, beyond the stars
Of these humans' putrid souls you'll drink your fill
The fools will all make fun of me
But I'll just laugh maniacally
'Cause no one's ever suffered like they will
Chthulhu, I can promise you
That by the time this cult gets through
The world will never ever be the same!
Praise your dark name!

Phn'glui mglw'nafh Chthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn
Boy, that's really quite a mouthful, can't quite cram it in my noggin
Not today
I try to say it anyway
I feel my soul being to fray
Still I await that frabjous day
Chthulhu calay!

(Chorus)
Oh, kill everyone but me
Everyone but me
