"The R'lyeh Connection" (Filk parody of "The Rainbow Connection") - VANITY
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 10/5/15 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 10/05/2015 11:50:37 AM PDT by Slings and Arrows

Yes, I parodied a beloved musical classic as a hymn to everyone's favorite eldritch abomination. No, I have no soul.

I write and record my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. (Make your own Ruth Bader Ginsburg joke if you absolutely must.)

For a free MP3 download of "The R'lyeh Connection," click either here or here.

Lost me at “first to be eaten”.
That’s all Pagan and stuff, and Lovecraft messing all around.

Otherwise.. pretty dang good!

Thank you, and when Great Cthulhu rises from his slumber I shall laugh at your agony.

Barky has been filking us for quite a while.

P.S. Filk music is, loosely speaking, science fiction and fantasy literature-related music, often parodies of other songs.

You say you have no soul, but I think somewhere Mr. Lovecraft will give you a thumbs up.

I never thought of him as a cat lover, but yes, I can see it now thanks to this thread.
