More Watchmen thoughts...
A song parody too!
As most of Fanboy Nation knows, the comic book and movie endings of Watchmen are somewhat different--specifically in that the movie version does not feature the gigantic Lovecraftian squid leviathan-thing that lands on Noo Yawk in the comic book. Pictured below...
As a man who likes seeing his big stupid special effects I've had enough with this clear anti-squid bias in Hollywood these days. So I present, for your singing pleasure, a song parody, sung to the Mamas and the Papas' California Dreaming.
Feel free to arrange your own four-part harmonies.
Calimari Dreaming,
a song parody, based on California Dreaming by John Philips.
All I want is squid,
on the silver screen
something big and scary
that ll make me scream
I'd be a happy fanboy
if the squid were a-seen
Calimari dreaming
on the silver screen
Cut out of Harry Potter
and left out of Sphere
Meet the Robinsons' butler
Was not a squid to fear
Left in Lord of the Rings
which made the fanboys cheer
Calimari dreaming
As all the fanboys cheer!
They're tasty tossed with lemon
Sautéed or deep fried
Good beer drinking food (Beer drinking food)
When I go out and get pied (go out and get pied)
Try them dipped in marinara
Little cup on the side
Calimari dreaming
Best when they are friiiied!
See you on Squid Row
