In this musical number, Myrr Thistletail gets bitten by one of the undeads around Hilsbury Manor and is transformed into a bat thanks to the vampirism curse. She promptly breaks out in a gothic pop parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad".
The song was written for the Raki News Halloween 2007 show.
Technical
Taking on the legendary Michael Jackson's "Bad" isn't an easy task. Originally, the number was supposed to be more in an 80's pop style, but it has already been done better than I could by Weird Al in "Fat". So I went for a gothic pop style, which also better fit the subject matter of the song, and the halloween theme of the Raki News show.
The organ and harpsichord are recorded one-take improvisations that turned out surprisingly well. I figured out the lines from the video and then played around until I could improvise them. The drums all cheesy and midi sequenced, just as intended.
Myrr's voice and the choir voices are all me, heavily post-processed and with exaggerated reverb to get the gothic pop feeling. The squeak nearly broke my ears the first time I had it on the head phones, not to mention doing it vocally. Memo to me: Don't do that again!
Release date: 2007
Lyrics
Your bite is fine
Gonna bleed all night
You bit my neck
In our last fight
I'm yelling now
My blood is ill
Gonna hurt you back
Gonna bite to kill
Bleed on
Bleed on
I'm not quite
Alright
My tendons snap
My muscles grow
And in my eyes
An eerie glow
Why am I here?
Why did I agree
To spend the night
In Hilsbury?
When I got inside the manor
Then the changes were complete
And now blood is on the banner
It's you I'm gonna eat!
Now I'm a bat, a bat, suck on
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
You know, a bat, a bat, you know it
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
That's right, a bat, a bat, you know, a bat
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
And the whole world
Lies beneath of my furl,
Can't you tell a Raki girl
Who's a bat?
Organ solo
My fangs are out
I've got razor claws
Gonna suck you up
Without a pause
You're on the ground
I'm in the air
And you can run
But it's not fair
I'll hunt you down
My echo's on
I can fly all night
From dusk til dawn
When they say the sky's the limit
Then they haven't seen me fly
And my friend, you will see nothing
So tell your life goodbye
Now I'm a bat, a bat, suck on
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
You know a bat, a bat, you know it
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
That's right, a bat, a bat, you know, a bat
(Bat, bat, she's really, really a bat)
A bat, a bat, you get the point
(Bat, bat, you get the point)
I said a bat, a bat, a bloody flying bat
(Bat, bat, a bloody flying bat)
You heard, a bat, a bat, SQUEAK
(Bat, bat, she's just a bleeping bat)
Again, a bat, a bat, let's stop this now
(Bat, bat, stop singing about bats)
And the whole world
Lies beneath of my furl,
Can't you tell a Raki girl
Who's a bat? ",
