Mi-Go and Yog-Sothoth Christmas carols

December 25, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society have a knack of putting together earworms of clips. They tunnel into your brain and plant songs. The track above is “I saw mommy kissing Yog-Sothoth” which isn’t your usual Christmas carol and yet feels oddly familiar. What about “Freddy the red brained Mi-Go”? could that be a Christmas carol […]
