It's also cursed. Cursedness is always a plus.

Eh, nothing beats Shoggoth on the Roof.
(A Cthulu-based parody of Fiddler on the Roof, of course).

Especially good is the song "Tentacles!"

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?

Not to mention Tom Smith's O Yog-Sothoth.

@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.

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

So THAT'S how you pronounce Cthulhu!

@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.

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.

And here I was pronouncing it in my head "Choo-loo."

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.

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...

I recognised it just as soon as my eyes drifted onto Rafmunkur's comment, ruining the whole point of it for me. Thanks.

Shamefully, it took me 'til the chorus to recognise the tune.

Even so, this is brilliant. I'll definitely be downloading the mp3.

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.

I'm ashamed to admit that I recognise the tune as "fernando" by Abba. Gods damn you, 1970s!

Also, Cthulhu rules.

I wouldn't have a clue even though it sounds reminiscent of Jethro Tull
