Lungbarrow

[evilbeej]

I'm entirely sure I'm the only person in the world who sees the word 'Lungbarrow' and automatically starts filking Moonshadow.

Never fails.

I'm being haunted by a Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow.
Rotting and a-sulking in a Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow.

And if it ever gets my soul, or my will, but mostly soul,
Oh, if it ever gets my soul, ohhhh ohhhh
I won't have to fight no more.

And if it ever eats my friends, my companions (to the end),
Oh if it ever eats my friends, ohhhh ohhhh
I won't have to love no more.

And if it ever steals my hat, or my brolly, fancy that
If it ever steals my hat, ohhhh ohhhh
I won't tip it any more.

I'm being haunted by a Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow.
Rotting and a-sulking in a Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow, Lungbarrow.

Etc etc ad nauseam.

Yeesh.

Nifty filk, that. :)

The weird thing was that when you mentioned that you couldn't help filking it to "Moonshadow", I thought at first you meant the song by Mike Oldfied, not Cat Stevens! I suspect that the Cat one works better than the Oldfield one! :)

Hee! Oh boy, I don't even *know* the one by Mike Oldfied. (I don't know from Mike Oldfied!) And thanks, though I am mightily ashamed. *sheepish look*

(Er. Oldfield. Yes.) Mighty Google.

Yes, Google is our friend. Trust the great Google. :)

Ah, don't be ashamed, Gina, it's all part of the life thing. There are lots of musicians out there that tons of folks don't know, but Oldfield is remembered for his music from the original Exorcist movie, "Tubular Bells". Some really good stuff there. Mind you, with over 25+ albums to his credit, there's a lot of Mike Oldfield music out there to appreciate. :)
