about
“He isn’t just a happy face, he is a Deal Maker”
- Vaggie
TytoCat, the newfound duo, presents its first single, this time jazzing around the 1920’s creole evilspawn: Alastor, the Radio Demon! From Vivienne Medrano´s "Hazbin Hotel".
We hope that this electroswing, spiced with a couple (dozen) hidden and not so hidden details, will be entertaining. After all, the world is a stage. And a stage is a world of entertainment.
Now… stay tuned.
lyrics
Listen dear, and listen close,
If you want a show, I’ll be your host.
Hear me fella, you up for a jolly?
For I need some zing, and you’re on the trolley!
The longest while, I’ve held my breath
This hellish bushwa’s got me bored to death
Tired of the scent of burning flesh,
I crave inspiration, of something fresh!
Now form a line, and I’ll assign
A place and time for us to sign.
It’s dandy and fine, so don’t ya whine.
It was your choice, and now you’re mine.
Let’s seal our deal, ‘tis such a steal!
Let’s cut the spiel, and grab the kill!
Please take this quill, and feel the thrill…
Per this agreement, you’ll do my will.
Now you may ask why I showed up,
And I’d just say that you’re in luck.
I’ll make this place a tempting sight
For all the scum to spend the night.
So place a bet, to this Smokey Mayor
But raise a prayer, if you ain’t a fair player.
I’m he who lies, ‘mongst red skies,
A king of flies, in kind disguise.
Now form a line, and I’ll assign
A place and time for us to sign.
It’s dandy and fine, so don’t ya whine.
It was your choice, and now you’re mine.
Let’s seal our deal, ‘tis such a steal!
Let’s cut the spiel, and grab the kill!
Please take this quill, and feel the thrill…
Per this agreement, you’ll do my will.
The crimson shadow coats this town,
all tormented by the buzzing sound.
Eldritch powers long bygone,
from my sleeves will all be drawn.
Weak, old souls all shine so dim
As the show I staged turns to a “Hazbin”.
Serene mortals walk the earth,
Oblivious to their dire rebirth.
A brand new start, a newborn heart
to take, to twist, to rip apart.
Search for my voice, follow my beacon,
And soon you’ll run into the Radio Demon.
Now form a line, (and he’ll assign)
A place and time (for ya’ll to sign).
It’s dandy and fine, (so don’t you whine).
It was your choice, (it was your crime).
Let’s seal our deal, (‘tis such a steal!)
Let’s cut the spiel, (and grab the kill!)
Please take this quill, (and feel the thrill)
per this agreement, (you’ll do his will.)
