This song was written and recorded for Masters of Song Fu 5, round 1. The challenge was to write a song based upon one of the 700 Mole-Men in John Hodgeman's new book "More Information Than You Require". This is a new mix of the tune.
lyrics
#381. Cpt. Dane Frostline, (a dirtonaut who is haunted by what he’s seen)
written by Godz Poodlz (Rhod Durre and Russ Rogers)
Captain Dane Frostline thought the mission would be routine
Captain Dane Frostline, he is haunted by what he’s seen
Captain Dane Frostline the news reports tell
Stepped into his capsule and bid us farewell
Ground Control to Captain Dane, “Your drill spins right and true
The message from Capt. Icecurtain, “The Great Toad be with you”
Captan Dane Frostline, Stone Philips wants toknow
Just what might turn up when we dig deep below
The Heretics lament, it is not the intent of the Great Century Toad
For Mole-men to Dig Down this Deep on this Dirty, Deep Down, Dirt Road
Captain Dane Frostline thought the mission would be routine
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he’s seen
Captain Dane Frostline there’s a ghost in your digging machine
And he’s, he is haunted by what he’s seen
Dig! Dig it! Dig! Dig it!
Captain Dane! These signs are erratic
There’s nothing but static
Has there been a landslide?
Ooooh! Please tell my mole-wife
She’s been my whole life
But I’m stepping outside
Captain Dane! Luminescence is fading
Your life sign’s degrading
We can’t tell where you are!
Ooooh! This doesn’t make sense
Great Toad, it’s immense
And it’s full of stars!
Capt. Dane Frostline was thought dead and lost
Declarationsts declare, “Science has a cost!”
But seven weeks later, picked up by a merchant dirt freighter marine
Was Captain Dane Frostline, a dirtonaut, haunted by what he has seen
Captain Dane Frostline thought the mission would be routine
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he has seen
Captain Dane Frostline, his eyes have a distant sheen
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he has seen
Captain Dane Frostline, was it all just a crazy scheme
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he’s seen
Captain Dane Frostline, there’s a ghost in your digging machine
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he has seen
And he’s haunted, he is haunted by what he’s seen
