about

As written by Tom Smith at the FuMP .com, 06/23/2009,

It may SAY Tom Smith up there, but in reality it's Tom Smith AND The Great Luke Ski! Here's the skinny: Tom wrote this parody back in 2002...yes, he knows that "fhtagn" is misspelled, it's much easier to sing this way... and he and Luke have sung it a lot. We figured that, in the best Disney marketing tradition, it was time for a Special Platinum Commemorative 7-1/3rd Anniversary Limited Remastered High-Definition Audiophile Edition With Ice Cream And Sprinkles On Top. But, since we haven't been able to successfully digitize ice cream and sprinkles, this is all we got. First thing was to ACTUALLY PLAY IT IN THE CORRECT KEY WITH THE CORRECT CHORDS. Radical, we know, but, hey, we stop at nothing to make you nice folks happy. We also threw in a few new jokes, including Luke's marvelous shtick at the end -- everything after the last chord hit is all his idea. The end result is a classic of something or other, we're sure. And it allows Luke to keep his streak alive -- he's had a FuMP song every single month The FuMP has existed!

lyrics

Cthulhu Fthagn --
What a wonderful phrase!
Cthulhu Fthagn --
Say it and you're crazed!

It means "Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"
It's a prophecy,
We'll all soon see
Cthulhu Fthagn.

Ahhh, yes! Cthulhu Fthagn. It's our motto, our slogan, our credo!

Oh, I hate that!

What?

Han Solo clearly shot first!

Not "Greedo", "credo"!

When he was a Outer God --
When I was a Outer God!
Easy on the reverb, sport.

He found that his form lacked a certain appeal,
All his glistening pseudopods made blood congeal.

I'm a sensitive soul!
At the end of the day,
It hurt that my friends' flesh all melted away.

Oh the shame!
Oh, the terrible shame!
What a disgrace!
Falling from grace!
Till I decided to blame --
Whose fault was it?
The whole human race!

Yeah! What the heck where they doing hanging around with an acidic mass of flesh-devouring polyps, anyway?
Hey! Can I help it if I'm an "ick" magnet?

Cthulhu Fthagn!
Now we're in for strange days!
It screws up your noggin --
Turns planets into buffets!

And Great Cthulhu
Spares whoever obeys!
So get off of me,
You monstrosity!
Cthulhu Fthagn!

Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
-- Wait wait WAIT! If we keep doing this, he's gonna show up!
... COOL!

It means Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"
It's insanity,
For humanity --
Cthulhu Fthagn!

I say Cthulhu!
And I say Fthagn!
If I said Ithaqua,
We'd need a toboggan!

Cthulhu Fthagn!
