A regular feature in which I attempt to share the mystifying, alarming process of digging through my unhelpfully named MP3s by uploading one of the files I found that way and not telling you what it is. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. In this case, while you can tell pretty quickly what it is, I still have no idea where I got it, who it’s by, or why I would have such a thing. I think I’ll try moving the logo to beneath the text to impair eye-drift to potential spoilers in the comments.

Half Loaf 2: I wouldn't have a clue even though it sounds reminiscent of Jethro Tull
Rafmunkur: I'm ashamed to admit that I recognise the tune as "fernando" by Abba. Gods damn you, 1970s!
Also, Cthulhu rules. nine: I googled "fernando cover cthulu" and found the source: http://www.khaoswork... ...pipes.html
Nice find! I recognised the tune before the lyrics started, and it took a few lines before I realised something had REALLY changed with the song. Quasar: Shamefully, it took me 'til the chorus to recognise the tune.
Even so, this is brilliant. I'll definitely be downloading the mp3. Smurfy: I recognised it just as soon as my eyes drifted onto Rafmunkur's comment, ruining the whole point of it for me. Thanks.
Zig13: Well it is clearly to the tune of Abba - Fernando, but the vast majority of the words have been changed. I presume their referring to a sci-fi/fantasy TV programme, film or book but it is one I am not aware of...
EGTF: Trust me with your mouse -
http://snipurl.com/n33lg Came up whilst searching for the source of this song before I looked at the comments and saw @Nine had tracked it down already. Just a shame that it's not Christmas. Roadrunner: And here I was pronouncing it in my head "Choo-loo."
Bret: Ah, the tender melodies of the all consuming terror that is Cthulhu.
Not quite as good as the time he met Bertie Wooster, but still solid. Ronin08: @Zig13, it's referring mainly to early 20th century horror writer H.P Lovecraft's most famous Eldritch horror, "Cthulhu," though I think I caught references to Dunwich Horror and other works of his in there.
Ludo: So THAT'S how you pronounce Cthulhu!
Discount Ninja: Fantastic! As an avid Lovecraftian and Mythos lover extrodinaire this was a delightful treat!
Oh yes, plenty of Mythos references - I think I caught some for Shadow Over Innsmouth and there were onew or two for Dagon as well =D Ronin08: @Ludo and Roadrunner, I don't think there's any one way to pronounce "Cthulhu," and I seem to recall reading that the actual pronunciation isn't physically possible by humans. Or something. Eldritch Horrors, you know, always with the confusing names.
Jason L: Not to mention Tom Smith's O Yog-Sothoth.
Zeno Cosini: Good old Cthulu. I've been watching a lot of children's TV show In the Night Garden with our one-year old son recently, and I reckon that there's something slightly Lovecraftian about the Hahoos. Check it out. Are those really smiles, or just the rictus gurnings of mindless slaves of Shub-Niggurath?
http://shatnerian.fi... ...den460.jpg Caleb: Eh, nothing beats Shoggoth on the Roof.
(A Cthulu-based parody of Fiddler on the Roof, of course). Especially good is the song "Tentacles!" Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.c... ...aJckcCZtBQ Bret: It's also cursed. Cursedness is always a plus.
