New Songs!

[mneme]

I've usually quietly posted songs into the place I have in my webspace when I got around to it, but I've noticed that "the cool kids" these days post songs onto their LJs. So...here they go (in addition to going up into the archive, since, hey, archive).

First: first posted in Alarums and Excurions, the theme song for a show kids were NOT MEANT TO WATCH!

Mythos Babies

L'il Cthulhu sleeps amid rubber sheep in the waters of his bath.
Yog Soggoth draws doors on the walls and floors, though he ain't so god at math
Little Hastur writes through the summer nights of the times when all will die.
Then Itaquq tears through the frigedarre 'til he goes outside to fly.

Mythos Babies, waiting to get big and buff
Mythos Babies, when they're cranky, they get rough.
Nyarly's faces are so sweet,
Niggurath can stamp a beat,
Mythos Babies,
They'll Eat You!

I did do an ABC of the tune, but it's probably buggy, ah, whatthehell

I should get an ABC player for the zaurus.


Next, a parody that I'm not happy with; specifically, not enough to actually sing anywhere. But I'll put it here anyways; maybe it will garner comments.

Yet Another Food Song...

My Kourma Broke Down
ttto My Karma Broke Down, by Mike Cross


My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
My kourma broke down, aint that a shame.
My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
And I can't get a vindaloo to put me in pain.

Now, curries are my faavorite food of all,
But my doc says they're bad for my cholesterol.
And that if spice passes my aseophagus
I'll spend my last days with acid reflux

My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
My kourma broke down, ain't that a shame.
My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
And I can't get a vindaloo to put me in pain.

I can't have lassi 'cause it's got milk in it,
And dosa wll make me fat within a minute.
My rabbi thinks that Asian food's a sin,
And my girlfriend just went vegetarian.

My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
My kourma broke down, ain't that a shame.
My kourma broke down on the road to gourmet
And I can't get a vindaloo to put me in pain.



Finally, a Frankenstein's Monster of a song whose reasons for existence should be pretty obvious to anyone who knows the original.

Monster in the Master's Lab
by Joshua Kronengold, with help from Lisa Padol ttto Bully in the Alley (trad)

Oh, help me Frank,
the monsters's getting testy,
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
I'm afraid, this thing is geting messy,
Monster in the master's lab.

Well, Sally is the girl that I love dearly,
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
Sally is the girl that I sliced nearly,
Monster in the master's lab.

chorus...creepy
Can we try a shot to make her sleepy,
Monster in the master's lab.

I picked up Sally and brougt her to the lab-o
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
Cut away her clothes and put her on the slab-o
Monster in the master's lab.

chorus...cranky.
I don't think she's gon'na wan'na thank me.
Monster in the master's lab.

I sewed up Sally with parts that fit her form-o
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
Wired her up and waited for a storm-o
Monster in the master's lab.

chorus...getting up fast, ...
and a mob has shown up here from Belfast
Monster in the master's lab.

I brought Sally back, but something now was wrong-o
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
She'd lost her speach but gotten rather strong-o
Monster in the master's lab.

So, help me Frank, the monster's getting madder,
Way, hey, monster in the lab-o
And I think the mob has found a ladder.
Monster in the master's lab.

(ttto Help me Rhonda -- The Beach Boys)
Help me Franky, help-help me Franky
Help me Franky, help!

Hey, Josh! What's Lisa's LJ name (if she has one)? I've just comment-blogged her over at mine
http://ellen-kushner.livejournal.com/97349.html
and might need her to check in.

It was really great to meet you! You have a great voice and I really would like to spend some time warbling in your direction again some con soon!

HARP?

[mneme]

Hey -- it was lovely to meet you, listen to you, etc!

Yeah, I do play harp (if mediocrely), but since I don't have a hard case for Calliope (the harp in the icon), she stays at home and local (East Coast) cons that I can take train or car to.

[pondside.livejournal.com]

Well, I say offering blandishments... we have a lovely nylon strung Thormalen harp here just waiting to be introduced to you.

So -- since the West Coast is just around the corner from the East Coast...

[mneme]

Heh. We'll see -- I've got good odds of making Conflikt, at least.
