I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog Sothoth, A Cthulhu video edited by CoastConFan

Several years ago I heard I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog Sothoth at a CoastCon science fiction convention, and got a big kick out the piece. I also have an interest in early record players and music, so it all fell together into a youtube video with a steampunk and lighthearted horror flare. The great Graphophone video came from InsulaBarataria and his FONOGRAFO THOMAS EDISON 1898. I recommend his channel for lovers of arcane record players and music. The song was sung by Lance J. Holt in association with the HP Lovecraft Historical Society.

Pretty cool. Once through was plenty, though. ^_^

Incremental repetition is a fact of life in music. If there were no repeats we would have very short songs. Two repetitions was plenty in this one, although I briefly considered three.

Alas, I had hoped you had made an acoustic home recording of that song....... (one can dream, though).......

Still, pretty funny!

Repetition simply wore out the songs welcome here. Especially when very little changed between the first play and the second play. It was just an unusual and intriguing-looking old music player. Even I kept it down to a single play when I did a full animation for the song. Because I KNEW it would get old after a while.
