pathology_docFirst of all, here is the original tune. If you're wondering why I've heard this theme song often enough to filk it, I need only point to my two children and to the Treehouse TV cable channel.
This is HPL out on Leng's windswept plain
Causing grief to your brain
Inhuman races with fiendish faces
We'll scream ourselves ra-aw*
with HPL.
* Credit for this phrasing is due to SF writer Peter F. Hamilton, a lead character of whose Night's Dawn trilogy does so at a specific point in the series. For non-Lovecraftians, Leng is one of the creepier places on Earth in the Mythos universe and the 'inhuman races' are literally that - monstrous (and extremely inimical) extraterrestrials.
