Anne said the phrase one night, and I immediately got this idea. The idea has been done before, as I found out while researching it. Don't care. Gotta do it my way. There is a recording of this on the Buy Stuff page featuring The Great Luke Ski.
(The singers are Dagon and Abhoth)
Cthulhu Fthagn --
What a wonderful phrase!
Cthulhu Fthagn --
Say it and you're crazed!
It means "Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"
It's a prophecy,
We'll all soon see
Cthulhu Fthagn.
Ahhh, yes! Cthulhu Fthagn. It's our motto, our slogan, our credo!
Oh, I hate that!
What?
Han Solo clearly shot first!
Not "Greedo", "credo"!
When he was a Outer God --
When I was a Outer God!
Easy on the reverb, sport.
He found that his form lacked
a certain appeal,
All his glistening pseudopods made blood congeal.
I'm a sensitive soul!
At the end of the day,
It hurt that my friends' flesh all melted away.
|
Oh the shame! What a disgrace! Till I decided to blame The whole human race! |
The terrible shame! Falling from grace! Whose fault is it? Yeah! What the heck where they doing hanging around with an acidic mass of flesh-devouring polyps, anyway? |
Hey! Can I help it if I'm an "ick" magnet?
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Now we're in for strange days!
It screws up your noggin --
Turns planets into buffets!
And Great Cthulhu
Spares whoever obeys!
So get off of me,
You monstrosity!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
-- if we keep doing this, he's gonna show
up.
... Kewl!
It means "Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"
It's insanity,
For humanity --
Cthulhu Fthagn!
I say Cthulhu!
And I say Fthagn!
If I said Ithaqua,
We'd need a toboggan!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
