Fwahahahaha! I loved it!

Oh great stuff transported me... back to a very weird time.

They're before my time but I love weird 60s novelty nonsense and B-movies. It really was a truly strange time, in a great way. There's a lot to be said for an entertainment industry that is still figuring out what its customers want and are accordingly willing to try anything. Compare / contrast against the RIAA-of-today's sadly conservative approach...

This right here - this is is exactly why I'm glad you didn't drop out. Loves it. :D

Between mixing this really fast and experimenting with a couple techniques trying to come closer to the lo-fi sound of early 60s surf / novelty records, the lyrics are not as audible as I'd like. They're terrible, but that's 100% on purpose, so here they are.

A sea monster is comin' ashore
He's been sleepin', now he's sleepin' no more
You're hangin' ten while he's on the attack
He's awfully hungry for a surfer snack.

Leviathan.

He's big and scary and he's looking for food.
You can't escape from this radical dude.
Everyone in sight's gettin' eaten or stomped.
Guess you can thank Gary for his LJI prompt.

Leviathan.

Go, Gary, go!

Only one thing can stop this terror of the coasts...

Also, ten brownie points to the first person who gets the "Nite Donkeys" reference.

I didn't have time to comment earlier, but now that I'm not rushing to finish reading before work, I just wanted to say that I liked this poem-lyrics-thing. :)
