"he's wild, intense, HE'LL MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND" HP LOVECRAFT: very poor choice of words

1 Byakhee, Byakhee, fly me through space take me away, far from this place Byakhee, Byakhee, what must I do to go for a ride with you? 2 Byakhee, Byakhee, now heed my call I've done the spells, I've done them all Out of Tartarean darkness appear and fly me away from here 1 The boys we meet are so dreary 2 So boring and we both want a thrill B We're really terribly weary at least that's the theory, we're virgins still As for real dating, we're both quite repressed; boys here in town don't pass the test We want to go on a dangerous spree, yes we want to try Byakhee... [spoken] 1 Jill, I had no idea you were so interested in boys 2 Well sure, I'm about to graduate high school; it's 1926, I'm a modern girl. But I don't want just any boy; I'm looking for someone... special. 1 Sure. Aren't we all? [sung] 2 Sister, dear sister, the boy that I want to find is wild! Intense! he'll make me lose my mind but still a nice man, a good man. Yes? Sure! I want a man who's thrilling, who's deeper than the sea, who's loyal and fulfilling - who's thrilled with me. 1 Sister, dear sister, your goals are bit too high. men, my dear, are monsters; but please don't ask me why. There is no nice man, no good man; it's - true. So if I must have monsters, I'm damned if I'll despair; I'll summon up a real one - and go from there. 2 Wait, I hear a flapping sound... 1 Jill, there's something going on. Well, now, who would have guessed that my little black book is the book of I-bon? [windy sounds] Byakhee, Byakhee, I hear your wings 2 I smell - smell? 1 What are those... things? B Byakhee, Byakhee, what have we done? This suddenly isn't fun. 1 I don't know how to describe you; 2 To see you is a mind-blowing thing. B Not moles, crows, nor ants are quite like you, nor partially decomposed human beings [Byakhee cry] B Byakhee, Byakhee, now that you're here I've changed my mind; I'm filled with fear People who go with you don't reappear So leave me alone, I'll stay at home I will forget we ever met I must not and won't recall.

Reminds me of when one of my best friends first encountered this in a game, and pronounced it as 'Bukake'. I believe he was playing the young asian female martial artist investigator at the time as well. And as his friend, it is my solemn duty to never let him forget it.

I love how this song makes 100% sense by lore standards. " Byakhee can fly through space and carry a rider each, though such riders need protection from the vacuum and cold by suitable spells or potions. Byakhee do not have bases on Earth, but maybe summoned to preform deeds or to serve as steeds."

Hmm... so if i cant find a girl, I should look for a Shoggoth?

"That is not a Byakhee." Hate to disagree, but: Song Lyrics: "Not moles, crows, nor ants are quite like you, nor partially decomposed human beings... I must not and won't recall!" HP Lovecraft, "The Festival": "...not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor decomposed human beings, but something I cannot and must not recall." Sounds like a Byakhee to me.

This feels like a Disney song.

You say you want a boy that can "drive you mad" and "lives deeper than the sea" you are just asking for trouble

Im so sad to discover this 14 years too late i love this so much

Up to this morning I had no idea all these wonderful song existed. Thank you youtube, thank you.

the fact i found this song playing after waking up from drinking a bunch of wine makes me feel very strange but also kinda happy, good song

I've been listening to the soundtrack from Fiddler, which naturally led me back to this song. Somewhere the wires got crossed and now I keep singing "Byakhee Byakhee I'll bring the veil, you bring the groom, slender and pale".

This deserves trillions of upvotes. This is so brilliantly written and acted.

This is an adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof’s Matchmaker! It took me too many weeks of on-again-off-again searching to figure this out.

Yes, you learned summon/Bind, but did you learn Dismiss Byakhee?

...well what IS your type? I like a man with tentacles coming out of his face. I know someone who doesn't shave very often (or well) will he do? No, it's tentacles or nothing.

Byakhee was so nice, they even waited for him. too bad he was too much a wuss to ride the byakhee.

Remember children, you must never, EVER disembark on a Byakhee unless you are 100% sure you are in control, failure to control one will result in aimless hyperspace flight until you eventually just fall off somewhere.

They are the production of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, graciously uploaded by our host here.

The younger one sounds a lot like Taylor Pelto (AKA Penny from RWBY). Very fun~!

I imagined the Byakhee song more like Numa Numa, except instead of singing "baiyaheeee" etc, he just shouts "Byakhee" over and over.

I imagine the Byakhee looks kind of like the Lethrblaka. So a four-legged Pterosaur.

Okay.. I don’t know how I got here, but I was listening to disney songs 8 minutes ago.

Bitches be like: Please byakhee, come here to fly me through space :3 Then byakhee arrives and they suddenly are like: Hell nah, go away

Okay...who else clicked on this thinking it was going to to be a Lovecraftian version of Numa Numa?

if i'm ever asked to sign a christmas carol i have a feeling i'm going to accidentally jumble one of these parodies into the lyrics at parts. though that could be hilarious. for me anyway.

Matchmaker, from Fiddler on the Roof. They do an amazing job with these...

i searched byakhee cuz i didnt know what to do and i found this masterpiece at the first nice

> "im sickof all this silly songs related to lovecraft!!!!!!!!" The don't click any links leading to silly songs related to Lovecraft.

Poor Byakhee...nobody loves him :(

i wonder what Lovecraft would think about those songs.

Actually, the name "Byakhee" was created by Derleth. Lovecraft did write about them, though, just without name. Just check out "The Festival."

By far the best HPL mythos music I've heard Bravo!

The monsterfucker rep we've all been wanting

Yithian actually, Shoggoth though 'friendly' have a tendency to get domineering and pushy. Demanding you sacrifice to them or be consumed yourself

Parody of Fiddler on the Roof's Matchmaker

The original "would you rather encounter a bear or a man?"

Still, a better love story, then Twilight.

I was repeating some old summons a while ago. Now these strange music appears every now and then, next day more frequent than the other. I had to cover the window to my balcony, what did go wrong?

Ladies, you cannot summon an eldritch terror and then change your mind at the last minute and tell it to bug off. Once youve woken them up, youre in for the long haul!

The original's Matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof. There's a Lovecraft parody of the entire musical called A Shoggath on the Roof where this is from

This song absolutely said Weird Girl Rights

There is an rpg based off of the cuthulhu mythos called, "Call of Cuthulhu." It's kind of old but you should be able to find a core rulebook somewhere. It's really fun.

You should put the lyrics into the descriptions of these.

What can be better than angelic voices singing of maddening realities beyond the ken of man

if they didn't I wouldn't have been born.

In soviet Russia the Byakhee summons YOU! it would be weird to date a byakhee, do they have males and females, or are they asexual?

This is driving me crazy - what's the original song this is parodying? (also this is freaking hilarious; discovering all these HPL parody songs made my week)

WOO love this song and i love Lovecraft!! ^__^

Some people with great voices had some time on their hands and are HP lovecraft fans I see.

A masterpiece!

Did this come from a play? well I just love it..

wonderful!

Necronomicon! I love it!

I’ve watched the original and I’ve come to the conclusion that the matchmaker is scarier than a Byakhee.

What a good song!

"People who go with you don't reappear" So, the Byakhee just want to serve Man?

Not sure the actual title. But the lyrics do include "matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match". Some musical or another.

wooh another HPLS song, great job!

There is a ritual to do it. It requires the use of a wistle made of iron/silver from a metior. Were you wanting to summon one so you can get around???

The only way to travel in style betwixt the stars.

Yes, and I love it

There is one. Its called Call of Cthulhu and its really fun.

Yeah, it's just Matchmaker. I looked it up a few days later. Thanks.

I would like to summon one, every one would think I was cool if I rode around on a Byakhee

Good.

Just a few more days till The Sinking City comes out...

If you want to see how other Mythos creatures look try playing Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth

is she....is she talking about how she wants to date the eldritch horror?

Yep, looks like a Star Spawn to me. :)

What are those "things"?!! XD

Check HPLHS (H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society) if you want to buy these songs on cd ;)

Best game EVAR

hey, aabeeceed, cuold i ask you for Miskatonic? I love that one. and, of course, thank you very much for this uploadings!!!

Oh, we have much worse to fear here, my good man....

Good point and when you land in your drive way your nabors go insane at the sight of it. Well you can only do it in the month of October till I dont know when. I can tell you more through pm.

They are in "the festival", but the name came out after.

@rikoy11 Bahahahaha. Lol at "it's from the necronomicon".

:3 yay!

I wonder where the creator of this is in life now

wow this song is hard to google if you forget how to spell byahkee

so how do you summon a byakhee?

Ya you spelt it right, heres a cookie : )

Twilight Sparkle!

And by the way, when you are buying the songs on cd, get and read the damn books! ;-)

are these your songs? if so these are genius! subbed

certainly not as dangerous as night gaunts (I hope I spelled that right)

just two teenage girls doing teenage girl things

byakhee bukkakee

It's kind of like a bat like harpy. Human sized, large wings, vicious. You know, the typical creature that will help cause insanity in all who see it.

More like bukkake

@ClueLou *snort* Hah!

this does sound like tara strong.

OH NOES!! Twilight will kill us faster than Bieber's singing! Oh, well. If Azathoth awakens, it will all be over.

@FacetiousE Oh yes it is. What else are we supposed to use as Old One Repellant? Of course, it is arguable which is worse; having your soul flayed apart by the sight of Things Man Was Not Meant To Know or witnessing the return of Cthulhu...

no it cans erve the one who asks for it as a steed any where

if you like skinny girls like some celebrities you could go for a Nightgaunt. also google Shoggoth Hentai, you should come across a weird little comic at some point.

@MrDevonlewis a musical

quelle est la chanson originelle? merci
