…he pleased me, but drove me to insanity.

Ich wusste gar nicht das Lovecraft und seine Schöpfungen auch so viele Musiker ansprechen. The FuMP hat ein schönes Kinderlied umgedichtet (gefunden bei den Blutschwertern):

Another children’s song, of the repeating-and-building-chorus variety. To be specific, a parody of the traditional song “I Had A Cat/I Bought Me A Cat”. Just… the songs you usually have, with kitties and duckies and puppies, simply aren’t up to the task of raising our kids. Don’t read the lyrics before listening to it, mmkay? Spoilery and all that. I was originally planning this for last week, but the banjo reminded me of “Stony Peak”, which is why both of them have banjo all over the place.
