New Song: "Snoopy vs. Cthulhu" (Patreon)

I wish I could say this song has a vast, rich history, encompassing several volumes of eldritch horror... but most of my stuff these days is way less esoteric than that. In this case, The Great Luke Ski sent me a sketch of Snoopy, in full Red-Baron-fighting gear, taking on Cthulhu, and specifically saying he wanted a song based on it. Okay...

(Luke's original is attached to this post. But Lar DeSouza also did a pic, which is freakin' fantastic, so I included it as well. I love that the evil being wearing the Cthulhu mask is obviously Charlie Gree- er, Brown.)

After the turn of the century,In the bay near Miskatonic University,Came a roar and a thunder made the whole place shake,Like a sleeping Great Old One coming awake.

Not of our world, from far out in space,A huge winged thing with tentacles on his face.So many men tried, so many men died,Or got locked up in asylum when their brains were fried.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty thousand or more,The dread Cthulhu was running up the score.Adventurers died very stupidly,You can't play Call of Cthulhu like D&D.

In the nick of time, a scholar arose,A funny looking dog with a big black nose.He flew around the world, he couldn't relaxSeeking mind-crippling manuscripts and artifacts.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty thousand or more,The dread Cthulhu was running up the score.Adventurers died very stupidly,You can't play Call of Cthulhu like D&D.

Now Snoopy swore he’d defeat that god,So he researched this giant slimy hexapod.He met Cthulhu at the Arkham city line,And while the Old One was laughing, he got out an Elder Sign.

Cthulhu was helpless, he flailed his claws,But he’d been bound in accordance with the ancient laws.Snoopy cast a spell, and opened up a gate,And Cthulhu got sucked through to meet his fate.

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty thousand or more,The dread Cthulhu was running up the score.Adventurers died very stupidly,You can't play Call of Cthulhu like D&D.
