[INTRO — SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] [Dark carnival ambience, distant drums, mysterious yodel echo] SNIP SNIP... WACKSIDE... You hear that? [YODEL — DISTANT, MYSTERIOUS] YODEL-AY-EE-OH... [SNIPPETS] There it is. [WACKSIDE] Where? [SNIPPETS] I don't know... [SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] But we're gonna find it. [BEAT DROPS] SNIP SNIP! WACK GORILLA! ON THE TRACK! [VERSE 1 — SNIPPETS] I was walking through the carnival, lights going dead, Heard a strange little melody creeping in my head. Not a singer, not a speaker, not a voice on a track, Something huge in the darkness going yodel and back. I followed the echo past the tents and the rides, Past the broken old mirrors and the shadows outside. Then I heard that sound and my smile got wide, Something big was yodeling somewhere deep inside. I said, "Wackside, get your ass over here, I think I found something we should probably fear." He said, "What kind of monster makes a sound like that?" I said, "I don't know, but we're gonna find where it's at." [PRE-CHORUS — SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] Every time we get close, that sound disappears, Then it comes back louder and it fills our ears. Something's watching from the darkness tonight, And whatever it is... It's ready to bite. [CHORUS — SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] SNIP SNIP! WACK WACK! WHERE THE HELL'S THAT YODELING AT?! GORILLA! CLOWN! SHAKE THAT WHOLE DAMN TOWN! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! COMING THROUGH THE NIGHT! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT! SNIP SNIP! WACKSIDE! WE'RE GONNA FIND THAT THING TONIGHT! [YODEL — DISTANT] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOH! [VERSE 2 — WACKSIDE] I got my boots on, stepping into the fog, Big-ass footsteps looking like something from a bog. I hear a branch crack, hear a tree come down, Then a yodel echoes from the other side of town. I said, "Snippets, I ain't gonna lie, Whatever that is, it's probably twice my size." She said, "That's exactly why we gotta go," I said, "You always say that right before shit goes wrong." We climb up the hill, hear a rumble below, Something's beating on its chest in a rhythmical flow. Then the moonlight hits and I finally see— A massive clown gorilla staring straight at me! Red nose shining, face painted white, Huge-ass shoulders underneath the moonlight. He tilts his head and gives one little grin, Then takes a deep breath... And starts again! [YODEL — MYSTERIOUS GORILLA] YOOOOO-DEL-AY-EE-OH! [WACKSIDE] OH, HELL NO! [SNIPPETS] Oh, hell YES! [PRE-CHORUS — WACKSIDE + SNIPPETS] He yodels once and the whole mountain shakes, He yodels twice and the damn ground quakes. We came looking for a voice in the night, Now there's a gorilla clown giving us a fright! [CHORUS — SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] SNIP SNIP! WACK WACK! THERE'S A YODELING GORILLA ON THE TRACK! GORILLA! CLOWN! SHAKE THAT WHOLE DAMN TOWN! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! COMING THROUGH THE NIGHT! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT! SNIP SNIP! WACKSIDE! WE'RE GONNA COPY THAT SOUND TONIGHT! [BREAKDOWN — BEAT STRIPS DOWN] [SNIPPETS] Yodel! [WACKSIDE] Yodel! [SNIPPETS] Higher! [WACKSIDE] Higher! [SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] YODEL-AY-EE-OH! [YODELING GORILLA RESPONDS] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOOH! [SNIPPETS] Oh... [WACKSIDE] He just went higher than us. [SNIPPETS] Again. [WACKSIDE] Why?! [BRIDGE — DARK / COMEDIC] [SNIPPETS] We came for the secret, We came for the sound, We thought we were hunters, Now we're being hunted down. [WACKSIDE] That thing's got rhythm, That thing's got power, That thing's been yodeling For at least three hours! [SNIPPETS] We need to learn it. [WACKSIDE] You wanna learn THAT?! [SNIPPETS] Absolutely. [YODELING GORILLA — DISTANT] YODEL-AY-EE-OH... [SNIPPETS] I think he's calling us. [WACKSIDE] I think he's challenging us. [SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] Then let's answer! [FINAL CHORUS — FULL BEAT] SNIP SNIP! WACK WACK! GORILLA GOT THE YODEL AND HE'S NOT GIVING IT BACK! CLOWN FACE! BIG FRAME! YODEL SO LOUD THAT THE MOUNTAINS KNOW HIS NAME! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! LET THE WHOLE WORLD HEAR! YODEL-AY-EE-OH! THE GORILLA'S HERE! SNIP SNIP! WACKSIDE! WE CAME TO CATCH HIM— NOW WE'RE ON HIS SIDE! [YODELING GORILLA — HUGE] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOOOH! [SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOOOH! [YODELING GORILLA] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOOOOOH! [OUTRO — BEAT FADES] [SNIPPETS — WHISPER] Snip snip... [WACKSIDE — WHISPER] Wackside... [SNIPPETS + WACKSIDE] Gorilla... On the track. [YODELING GORILLA — DISTANT] Yodel... [PAUSE] [YODELING GORILLA — VERY LOUD] YODEL-AY-EE-OOOOOOOOH! [SNIPPETS — LAUGHING] We found him. [WACKSIDE] Yeah... But I don't think we're leaving. [FINAL YODEL — ECHOING] YODEL-AY-EE-OH... [END]
