Theme From Space Squid (Patreon)

Written for the 24 Hour Project in 2004, and completely rerecorded for the album Kid Safe, this is the theme to an imaginary badly animated Japanese adventure cartoon from the late 1950s/early 1960s, very much in the Astro Boy mode. If anyone decides they'd like to do that, PLEASE contact me.

From the other side of the galaxy,Came a U.F.O. as big as could be,Out came a giant cephalapod,Wearing blue spandex on his bod.

He said, "All your hostilities, cease!I'm not an enemy, I come in peace,I am here to save you fromThe deadly menaces yet to come."

He can fight, he can fly,He always says "do or die",He's... Space Squid, and he's come here to save the world.

So our hero, the Mollusk of Might,The Cosmic Calimari, is ready to fightAgainst the forces that evil sendsAnd for his Japanese child friends.

This one's Ken, and that's his sister,She had a name, but we musta missed 'er,And together, this exciting threeBattles against Doctor Sashimi.

He can swim, he can squirt,You can hit him and he won't get hurt,He's... Space Squid, friend to every boy and girl.He's... Space Squid, and he's come here to save the world.
