I was reading Paizo's "Gods and Magic" the other day, and it really impressed me how much of the Cthulhu mythos is present in Pathfinder. Between that, Halloween, and actually playing a Call of Cthulhu game, I was really in the mood for kicking off some Cthulhu Christmas carols early.

That said, I'd like to present "We Three Priests (of Azathoth)". This song was created by the very talented Morte McAdaver, and is presented as part of Moon Pope Monday on my gaming blog Improved Initiative. Come on by, and sing along with the end of the world!

Very nice! I tried to get the youtube link by myself to link it more easily, but I couldn't; was that intentional?

I liked the South Park-themed Cthulhu verse I saw on TV Tropes:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TownWithADarkSecret


"Goin' down to Innsmouth, gonna have myself a time
Fishy faces everywhere, degenerate folk without ambitions
Goin' down to Innsmouth gonna leave my woes behind
Eldritch gibbering day and night, people shouting "Ia Cthulhu!"
Headin' on down to Innsmouth, gonna see if I can't unwind
N'gai, n'gha'ghaa, bugg-shoggog, y'hah: Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth!
So come on down to Innsmouth and meet some friends of mine!"

There's an entire album of these on Youtube. Just look for "A Very Scary Solstice" by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.

This one's my favourite. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_NYNuAdIv0&list=PLBEB4083BD7BAAC1A)

A little something from Full Frontal Nerdity :smallbiggrin:


'Twas the night before Christmas, and the stars had aligned,
The fair town of Arkham was in a bit of a bind,
Some cultists with hoods, chanting things best unspoken
Were opening seals that were best left unbroken!

The doom of mankind, great Cthulhu awoke,
But a trio of heroes emerged from the smoke:
Jolly old Santa, with his sack full of toys;
A steam-powered Scrooge was one of the boys;
And Frosty the Snowman, with ice armor thick,
Eagerly searching for posteriors to kick.

Will Christmas be saved, and the sun rise anew?
That's what you see--so what do you do?

Cthulhu Carols, you say?

What about these? (http://www.cthulhulives.org/solstice/)

Personal favorites include "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen", and "Do You Fear What I Fear?"

Aha, I see I've been anticipated.

Atilla, the link isn't from Youtube. It's a video that I uploaded specifically to that page on the Improved Initiative blog. However, if you want to follow Mr. McAdaver, he has a page on Sound Cloud which includes We Three Priests for free and easy listening.
