about

Thirty-five seconds of utterly frivolous, this. It exists because: [a] something else I was working on wasn't working; [b] while I was in rehab from my leg injury a couple of years ago, Anne made me watch the anime Death Note; [c] "Bad Horse Chorus" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is way, way too easy to parody. Not really spoilerish -- more of a summary of the series' premise. Many thanks to Moses Lei, whose MIDI file I adapted for this.

lyrics

Death Note, Death Note,
Death Note, Death Note.

A shinigami's notebook has fallen from the skies,
Picked up by Light Yagami, smarter than most guys,
Whoever's name is written within the notebook dies,
And now behind his good facade,
Light's killing crooks and playing God.

Death Note, Death Note,
Death Note, Death Note.

Now L, the great detective, is hot upon the case,
He knows the killer Kira needs a name and face,
L thinks it's Light Yagami, they're on a merry chase,
One will smite and one get smote,
It's either Light or L -- Death Note.

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 6 fans who also own “Bad Horse Death Note”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
