It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men (tune: It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas)

I stumbled upon this link on the HERO Games forum.  It's to the A Very Scary Solstice website, featuring the opportunity buy a CD full of Cthulhu-esque music.  (These are the same people who did a musical CD of a Cthulhu-esque version of Fiddler on the Roof, called--not surprisingly, Shoggoth on the Roof.

It's very funny.  And this one is too (and surprisingly well sung).

It's beginning to look a lot like fish-men
Everywhere I go;
From the minute I got to town
And started to look around
I thought these ill-bred people's gillslits showed.
I'm beginning to hear a lot of fish-men
Right outside my door,
As I try to escape in fright
To the moonlit Innsmouth night
I can hear some more.

They speak with guttural croaks and to hear them provokes
A profound desire to flee
Their eyes never blink and quite frankly they stink
Like a carcass washed up from the sea.

I wish I'd paid attention to that crazy drunken man.
He tried to warn me all about old Marsh's Deep One clan.

It's beginning to look a lot like Fish-men
Everywhere I go;
They can dynamite Devil Reef,
but that'll bring no relief,
Y'ha N'thlei is deeper than they know.
I'll continue to see a lot of fish-men
That I guarantee.
For the fish-man I really fear
is the one who's in the mirror
And he looks like me.
He looks just like me.

*Giggles.* Man I wonder if I should mention that over at SPONGE (http://s-p-o-n-g-e.com/index.php3). Can I pass that along to my fellow Historians?

Sure! That's why I posted it. This is too entertaining to keep to myself.

Done! Thanks for passing it along. *bg*
