Eldritch Miscellany So, you're all familiar with the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, yes?  Good.  Today I went caroling with some fellow-travelers in the MIT Campus Crusade for Cthulhu, and we sang a number of the lovely mythos-themed tunes from their "A Very Scary Solstice" songbook.  "Carol of the Old Ones" and "Awake Ye Scary Great Old Ones" in sumptuous four-part harmony:  mmm, eldritch! At practice, I decided I wanted to sing "Demon Sultan Azathoth" (to the tune of "Good King Wenceslas") as a round.  But since the songbook only had a single verse, I needed to write some more.  Here's what I came up with: ( Cthulhu carols, with footnotes. ) Thanks to goddess32585 for organizing, photocopying, and cider afterwards, and to seborn for the word "squamosa," and to photonsrain for a lovely WAC T-shirt. In the bad news department, I'm sick.  Feels coldlike.  After caroling, my voice was nothing but a whispery croak. Tags: caroling, cthulhu, footnotes, lovecraft (1 comment | Leave a comment)
