...WHAT'S UP WITH THAT 'SONG'?!


(I can't believe how small BlackBerry phone buttons are! Grrrrr!) ANYWAY! Sorry...
Look, it's not that I care to know, it's inspired by PURE boredom, I'm just confused--& also, mind you all, I don't expect to get a clear answer to make ANY sense, since the movie seldom does: but does anybody know what the hell those (hideous slimey, and downright STUPID-lookin') uhh..."Puppets" are singing? Is it gibberish? I can understand "run away, run-a run-a run away" and then--I can't tell if it's Middle-English or WHAT. "Fo-fo-fo-say ra say bolah! Fay ra!" Or whatever the hell it goes. I have been unable to get that rotten...yet somehow addictive tune out of my head, now softened to a mushy dead BRAIN, I found myself rewinding it on my DVR several times trying to figure out the "lyrics"--that is if there ARE any...
Again, just bored and brain-dead as one becomes after watching a movie like THAT! And I thought the SEQUAL was bad! At least it was funny-bad. Any ideas, my fellow movie geeks??? (my birthday's coming in a couple days, so please be nice. LoL) maybe I'm stupid, but I even tried Closed Captions--which weren't available as some of you may have known, since it was on the Chiller Channel recently. Hmmm...

lyrics

Time of Tempest
tu...

He hath heard of this
pierce of weary ache and pain
Time on!
Herba Way, herba herba, herba herba way
Tempest!

He hath heard of this
pierce of weary ache and pain
Joy!
Herba Way, herba herba, herba herba way!
Dream apart!

Time of Tempest will soon come

Ahhhhh

Tempest!

He hath heard of this
pierce of weary ache and pain
Ah!
Herba Way, herba herba, herba herba way!
Tempest!

He hath heard of this

pierce of weary ache and pain

Herba way, herba herba, herba herba way!

Harken hen, harken, harken, harken, hen!

Ahhhhh!

Oh sirrah save us save us

Wow I never even tried to make sense of that song. I just assumed it was gibberish. But it sure is addictive, no disagreement there.

reply

BUT THERE AINT NO CURE FOR THE SUMMERTIME BLUES!!!

Bad ass song. Now that I have the lyrics, I'm going to watch it again and sing along with the other, cute little trolls.

reply

Thank you!

I've been looking for the lyrics (and/or sheet music) ever since the movie came 15 years ago.

I found the lyrics a long time ago and wrote them down. It's a trippy tune.

reply

Oh man, is this legit?

No I have to find that song.

Straightedge means I'm better than you.

reply

Yes, this is legit.

reply

Wow, cool. Thanks for posting the lyrics. I'm trying to sing along with the song right now but it's so fast!

Be careful, that song might be a real chant, just sayin. Sometimes these movie guys take things too far...

reply

That might explain the strange noises coming from my basement.. In fact they started right after I finished the song! 😱

reply

Thanks for that. Because of these boards, I was able to find this song and now I enjoy it on my Ipod. Sorry to see these boards go. :(




"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Quite possibly the greatest bad movie song ever. It's like a commercial jingle that gets stuck in your head.

reply

It's really weird. The troll creates some new friends and they automatically know music, English and how to harmonize together?

reply

I think this movie is still worth watching today just for this scene. The song is so cool and I still remember the tune after more than a decade of not having seen the movie.




"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

that was the best part
