Bending baby watches with Its beady eyes of prey Hoping and imploring to Get its fill that day its gaping maw and dripping teeth Are always on the ready Why! Just the other day, He took a finger tip from Neddy for: He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy! He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy! He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy! Little Tommy's known for his Clatter and his clamor A leg that's made of magnets And an arm that is a hammer When he's not attracting bits He's pounding them to pieces Words cannot describe the things Found within his feces for: He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy! He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy! He's A Wiggly Worm of A Boy!

A sunken heart And a gilded cage A drunken blade And a healthy arm Swords clash in the night-time Knights hang out at the round (Ground Round) For a: Cry of the Valkyrie! And the Nights of the round! Into the depths of your heart! Orcs are everywhere Green blood on the ground The glistening bear is snatching the crown (the green blood tastes of warrrrrrr!) Cry of the Valkyrie! And the Nights of the round! Into the depths of your heart! (let there be valkyries) UPWARDS AND INTO THE MOON CHARIOT ON WARD AND THROUGH THE CITY OF CLOUD DARKNESS THAT PURITY MUST THWART IN WISDOM AND STRENGTH THERE IS NO SHROUD

about

"The Big Squid" is the first and only recorded record of the ancient and ever-changing order known as The Cthulhu Ragtime Band. It is widely assumed that the aforementioned band is and ever has been a division of the erstwhile and long-sought Cthulhu Ragtime Concern.

Discerning listeners will note this album as something of a "progenitor" to the strange rock and roll band, Uncle Monsterface (a division of Monsterface Industries), featuring 2/3 of the same founding members(Marty and Jimmy, we found Dan living in a tree).

This album was originally recorded longer ago than we can accurately recall, and was never properly released due to a very serious bowling accident and an altercation with some bears.

Now here it is.

Listen up and get down.
