Hey There Cthulhu: The Photomontage Video

[DoomCart88]

I'm gonna sound like a total noob, but what is this thing?

[XxNiNjAsHaDoWxX]

@DoomCart88 Google "Lovecraft" his work is sublime

[BioD42]

That laughter at the end was brilliant.

[ebenbrooks]

@BioD42 Thanks. :D

[slipknothim13]

If you wrote and sang this yourself, then you sir, are a musical genius.

[ebenbrooks]

@slipknothim13 I did, and thank you very much. :)

[Raithulu]

0:43 is both hilarious and disturbing.

[ebenbrooks]

@Raithulu It is, isn't it? :)

[kamuimusackie]

@Raithulu

Try 2:35.

[takashi746]

so you own if so can you please send me a message i have questions that i kinda wish to have answered or anyone with extensive knowledge of this subject

[speeedlimate]

I hate all the fags who act like they know what cthulhu is, just because they watched south park

[TaimouTheBest]

Oblivion+south park :)

[DuskLit5x0]

This video is amazing ^.^

People that have accepted the end are wonderful

[ebenbrooks]

@DuskLit5x0 Thanks. :)

[Voidmaster05]

This song taught me how to say Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. :)

[belzzekit]

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn

[TheNinjafrogs]

deamau5 brought me here

[TheRadioactivemutant]

@TheNinjafrogs Go away.

[TheNinjafrogs]

@TheRadioactivemutant lmao



[BunrakukenIII]

Suddenly, with these lyrics this track no longer sucks donkey cock

[0Xss0]

Too bad I already defended my Master thesis on Lovecraft last summer: if I had discovered this before, I would have played it non stop during the defense, haha! :D

[ebenbrooks]

@0Xss0 HAH! Though that could have backfired... ;-) Still, thanks.

[GothlenRot]

this is cute ^^

[ebenbrooks]

@GothlenRot Thank you.

[thanosofdeath]

(;,,,;) Approves.



[ebenbrooks]

@thanosofdeath Thanks. :)

[jjbussey]

godzilla killed this like godzilla kills everything else, well you know besides chuck norris

[videomasterXD]

Are you a serious cultist, cus i wanna know about them :P

[ebenbrooks]

@videomasterXD Nope, just a fan of the literature.

[tinachristianson]

If i See cthulu for real.... I WOULD JUST CALMLY.......COMMIT SUICIDE.

[Undeadguy95]

I wonder if Cthuhlu would give me a blowjob, how would that feel anyway?

[tinachristianson]

Pretty painful, I think... Judging by the teeth.

[derGhebbet]

@Undeadguy95

Take a wood chipper, fill it with squids, stick your dick in and turn it on... should come pretty close.

Tell me then how it went^^

[RingoStarrluva88]

I love cthulhus there just so cute!

[thanosofdeath]

@RingoStarrluva88 There is only one Cthulhu. Oh, and it's spelled "they're."

[gaozhi2007]

This is totally amazing. Very talented. I hope someone famous will tweet about this so you will get all the recognition you have coming.

[ebenbrooks]

@gaozhi2007 Heh. Thank you. Although that's a two-edged sword, because if Mr. Higgenson gets wind of it, I'm likely to get a "cease and desist". But I appreciate the thought and the kind words. :)

[FantasyWriter1991]

@ebenbrooks Actually, parodies are immune from copyright acts, you're safe ;)

[ebenbrooks]

@FantasyWriter1991 Actually, that only applies if it parodies the *original intent* of the song. So the parody that is the restraining order from Delilah in response to the singer of "Hey There Delilah" is covered, but my song, alas, is not. Copyright law is complicated, and believe me, I've looked up the statutes pertaining to this kind of thing, because I do a lot of it.

But thank you for the effort. :)

[CannonLongshot]

@ebenbrooks No chance, it'll come under parody and satire, right? You're only doing what Weird Al does, and he's been doing it for years :P

[ebenbrooks]

@CannonLongshot That is true, but Weird Al actually secures legal permission from each of the artists he parodies, with only a few "whoopses" (The Kinks and Coolio, for instance).

[CannonLongshot]

@ebenbrooks Oh, I was under the impression that he did that as a matter of courtesy, especially since Amish Paradise is still released, etc...

[ebenbrooks]

@CannonLongshot He eventually got it worked out with the original artists, but "Yoda"s release was delayed a long time because he performed it before getting permission from the Kinks.

[grakybaby]

omg cuthulu u sing

[dkkauwe]

fun!

[ebenbrooks]

@dkkauwe Thanks! :)

[AnaCthulhuFhtagn]

ben 10

[RamblingMaddGod]

@AnaCthulhuFhtagn what exactly is the point of this post?

[splooie02]

Thank you for teaching me how to pronounce Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

[ebenbrooks]

@splooie02 Thank you very much. :) Though it's only one possible pronunciation, since humans weren't supposed to be able to pronounce it in the first place. ;-)

[adebfils]

Beast sing bro

[GoldenGamingPhoenix]

This is great!

[ebenbrooks]

@GoldenGamingPhoenix Thank you. :)

[Nobynaga]

@ScoutAndMagicMusic "ph'nglui mglw'nafh cthulhu r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

[Claw1448]

1 of the old gods from WOW kek

[Triflez]

@Claw1448 please tell me your not serious...

[venrondua]

You make it too difficult to buy your MP3. Get into iTunes. Seriously that is an instabuy impulse buy for most people. No thought, no hassle. If you're not going to do that, stop making people sign up at your online store. You want my home address and phone number so I can use PayPal? I really want to support you but I don't want to do all this for one song. Others are just going to use a program to steal it from YouTube.

Seriously if you make it simple and quick, more people buy it.

[RamblingMaddGod]

@venrondua Yes, thats exactly what im thinking. just Itunes it.

[venrondua]

@RamblingMaddGod The same day I wrote that comment, I actually paid for and downloaded another artist's song from here. He didn't use iTunes either (grrr) but instead some site called cdbaby.  I still had to sign up but they only wanted an email and a name and they also used PayPal. It was easier with less information collecting.

[ebenbrooks]

@venrondua There are, unfortunately, very good reasons for me to not use iTunes for this song. However, I am working on a revamp of my shopping cart, so check back some time in the next couple of weeks.

[dynamiteproduction12]

song thould be cthulhu sleeps

[JEP1776AEP]

this is fucking amazing

[ebenbrooks]

@JEP1776AEP Thank you. :)

[ReefBear]

Jesus Christ, how horrifying

[matjacks100]

Cultists are so naive what would an all mighty evil being like him want with any human. What could they possibly offer him.

[NKA23]

Well, about 7 billion tasty meat snacks.

[Triflez]

@matjacks100 Voluntary lunch =)

[matjacks100]

@Triflez I was talking more about those who expect something in return, not those who already know they're nothing to him and surrender themselves in acceptance(They just lack a backbone or any will to at least try to rise against him. What would they have to lose, their fate would just end the same anyway?).

[Asurnasurpal]

Best pronunciation of the chant I've ever heard. Hilarious. I'm torn between jealousy and adoration. Ia! Ia!

[ebenbrooks]

@Asurnasurpal Heh. Thank you. :)

[TheSuperiorTurtle]

Where did you get so many pictures of my mom?

[MrMaud01]

I find this both amusing and inspiring... Thank you, guy who wrote this.

[ebenbrooks]

@MrMaud01 You're welcome. And thank you! I'm glad you like it. :)

[TheMasterLilNasty]

Can some1 explain 2 me hw I got here??

[dabomb1357]

@TheMasterLilNasty Well it sure as hell wasn't from spelling cthulhu

[AAAAAAAAAA42]

Haha, I love the ph'nglui mglw'nafh part.

[ebenbrooks]

@AAAAAAAAAA42 Thanks. :)

[CatastrophicMoggy]

Might not be new; but it's new to me. And bloody awesome!

[ebenbrooks]

@CatastrophicMoggy Thank you! :)

[nosdormu01]

why vote for a lesser evil lol

[ebenbrooks]

@nosdormu01 Heh. ;-)

[ebenbrooks]

@nosdormu01 Heh. ;-)

[TheSneakySeagull]

I wish that this was available on iTunes. I would love to buy it and support the artist.

[ebenbrooks]

@TheSneakySeagull It's not on iTunes, but you can buy it straight from my website at music (dot) ebenbrooks (dot) com. And thank you. :)

[DesmondAkira]

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going...

[ballparkfrancis]

Finally got off my duff and bought the .mp3!  Still, I love this photo montage... ;)

[ebenbrooks]

@ballparkfrancis Thank you! :)

[Wharwulif]

I used to worship Cthulhu...but then I took an arrow in the knee.

And that made me into a Guard of Madness =D

[RAFOomph]

@MonkEbutz2 I bet it does my freind ;)

[RAFOomph]

never play this in church...

[ebenbrooks]

@RAFOomph Oh, nooooooooooooo... :)

[MonkEbutz2]

@RAFOomph My "church" loves this song



[cmau14]

this is actually better than the original, no joke

[ebenbrooks]

@cmau14 Heh. Thanks. :)

[luxaeterna101]

Song of the Summer all Summers.

[Fireheart0011]

[ebenbrooks]

[ThePatridiot]

[ebenbrooks]

@ThePatridiot Thank you, I will.

[Tnyjohnston]

As a huge Lovecraft fan I can honestly say that I couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end. Great work!

[ebenbrooks]

@Tnyjohnston Thanks. :)

[skellyhell2]

[crtomirni]

[ebenbrooks]

@crtomirni A Halloween costume contest website.

[cheesepuff51]

[ebenbrooks]

@cheesepuff51 Aww, thanks! :)

[Darthellawayc]

Better than the original.

[ebenbrooks]

@Darthellawayc Thanks! :)

[DemonLogos]

[presidentofawesome3]

I have long read h.p lovecraft and if he were here today he'd probably call you a unsophisticated maggot but that was just him. I love it though

[ebenbrooks]

@presidentofawesome3 Heh. Thank you. :D

[neodoc1976]

Ктулху зохавает твой мозк-а потом зохавает всек!

[DrDyslexia]

This is amazing...

[ebenbrooks]

@DrDyslexia Thank you! :)

[liralmogadi]

Just get narwhals to poke him :3

[MalevolentAnarchist]

I applaud your masterful execution of blending a tribute to our Lord, the Mighty Cthulhu, with a satire of what was frankly a poorly-made, cliche song appealing to a mass audience with little taste or knowledge of music. The Elder Gods shall remember this, and when they return, your death shall be as quick and painless as that of his faithful followers.

tl;dr: This song pwns man >:D

[ebenbrooks]

@MalevolentAnarchist Hee! Thanks. I'm glad you like it. :)

[ShadowParanoya]

@MalevolentAnarchist the thumbs up button is missing on your comment! D:

[MalevolentAnarchist]

@ShadowParanoya :O FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[ShadowParanoya]

@MalevolentAnarchist NNNNNOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!! DX

[Brisingr9898]

This is awesome xD

[ebenbrooks]

@Brisingr9898 Thanks! :)

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

Came home after a bad day at school and what do I hear when I walk in the door? My father singing this song while The original song is playing. Bless the gods I love my family!! ^^ thank you. @edenbrooks you have made my life alittle better each time I hear this song!!

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Thank you. That's pretty awesome. Thank your father for me. :)

[96andysolo]

cool but messed up

[ebenbrooks]

@96andysolo Indubitably. :)

[Dralunify]

Around a hundred of the views on this video is probably me. This song is just awesome.

[ebenbrooks]

@Dralunify Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it. :)

[BassXRocker]

I loved everything about this.

[ebenbrooks]

@BassXRocker Aww, thank you! :)

[TH3DUTC4FR3AK]

found this song in 2009 an im still listening it

its awesome :)

[ebenbrooks]

@TH3DUTC4FR3AK Thank you! :)

[TH3DUTC4FR3AK]

@ebenbrooks

thank you for making this

[ebenbrooks]

@TH3DUTC4FR3AK You're quite welcome. And thank you for listening to it. :) When I did this 3-1/2 years ago, I had no idea how big it was going to get. It still tickles me that people are coming back to this video so long after it was originally posted.

[ZyioScalebane]

@ebenbrooks I post this on my facebook constantly lol

[Janovjev]

@ebenbrooks i remember when it only had a few ten thousand views...still loving it :) thank you for making this...again!*i think you replied to my thanks before,a year ago or so:D

[ebenbrooks]

@Janovjev Heh. When I first posted this in 2008, I had no idea how big it was going to get. I figured I'd probably max out at around 10,000 views. Now I'm approaching a million! It makes me very happy. :)

[m82sniper99]

@ebenbrooks You deserve every one of them, this song is amazing :p

[ebenbrooks]

@m82sniper99 Thank you! :)

[godsmackfan1]

really catchy :)

[ebenbrooks]

@godsmackfan1 I hope that's a good thing. ;-) Thanks.

[godsmackfan1]

@ebenbrooks haha i creeped out my teacher this morning singing this XD

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

Was in math class and was playin this song during a test. First A i've ever gotten in that class!!

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Oh, dear! I hope you had headphones? Or was the fact that it entertained the professor so much that he/she give you an A for amusement?

[SpecialSoldier109]

i swear this sounds exactly like weird al yankovic

[ebenbrooks]

@SpecialSoldier109 Heh. Well, I'll take that as a compliment. :)

[TassioBrify]

The eye is more stronger than the monster.....Only in terraria

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

@edenbrooks of course!! She keeps singing it. I think my job is done with this one!! :D

[halltraveler]

I have read a few posts from those that probably have never heard of this kind of music. The music style is called FILK. Filk is folk music with a sci-fi and fantasy based theme to them. This song is an example of such music. We all know that Cthulhu and the Necromicon was created by a writer named H.P. Lovecraft.

[BoristheOxman]

Hehehe, loving the Jabberwocky reference.

[ebenbrooks]

@BoristheOxman Cool! :) Glad you like it.

[81lain]

hoffentlich kommt er bald..........

[DannyStonez]

I find the picture at 0:46 kinda hot. not because of the tentacles, but I have a thing for cult chicks

[bongowongowongo]

@DannyStonez fgt.

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

My 8yr old sister is singing with the song now!!

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Heh. Gotta corrupt 'em young! :)

[themodmancarl]

much better than the origional song

[ebenbrooks]

@themodmancarl Thank you. :)

[klingon13524]

@themodmancarl Hey there Deilah has better audio quality, and is also as catchy. But I agree, this is much more nerdy.

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

My sister bought me the cultist shirt. I would love for it to be signed by you @edenbrooks

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Well, if I ever make it out to Orlando (or you ever make it out to San Diego), let's see about making that happen. :) Thank you. I'm quite touched.

[pariskotsaros]

you should had put the song "The Call Of Cthulhu" by Metallica :D

[skrtchy]

fln'bg gbnr t'chupng.

[ShadowParanoya]

@skrtchy um, what? that's not r'lyehian (or cthuvian, whatever), what did you say?

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

@edenbrooks. If you are ever in Orlando Florida email me!! I love to come and bounce ideas off of you and even get a hug!! My email is deathskiss@live.com

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly I will certainly do so. :) Thanks!

[rubberchickenzilla]

jabberwocky quote :D oh frabjous day cthulu calay!

[ebenbrooks]

@rubberchickenzilla Indeed! :)

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

I love you!!!! You are a god at this!!! I wish I could hug you....

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Awww. Thanks. :) (And, hey, maybe some day you'll have the chance.)

[Darkrainbowbutterfly]

Hey! I love this song!! It's totally amazing!!! So are you really a cultist?

[ebenbrooks]

@Darkrainbowbutterfly Thank you, glad you like it. Nope, not a cultist, just a fan of the literature. :)

[ShadowParanoya]

@ebenbrooks i thought you were one D:, oh well, still love the song :)

[clockworkhearts]

This is the most amazing piece of lyrical genius I have ever heard. You sir, deserve a medal.

[ebenbrooks]

@clockworkhearts Awww, thanks. :)

[Farore36]

This song cracks me up!

[ebenbrooks]

@Farore36 Thanks. :)
