Death's Favourite Things

Whenever he's feeling blue, Death likes to think about some of history's scary and horrible bits to cheer him up.

PARODY OF

My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music feat. Thriller-style zombie chorus

MUSIC BY

Richie Webb

FROM

Series 4 Episode 15: Scary Special

LYRICS:

Fairy cakes, baby ducks, warm winter mittens
Snowflakes on puppies and cute cuddly kittens
One of these might be your favourite thing
But not me - its scary that makes me go zing!

Smallpox and scurvy and fatal diseases,
Lesions and lurgy, I like to hear wheezes.
Of bogies and poo, I just can’t get enough
Yes, that’s just a bit of my favourite stuff.

Scary, hairy
Things that go bump in the night.
Slimy, grimy
I love that stuff that gives you a fright.

Emperor Vitellius being dumped in Rome's sewers
Branding's with iron for Tudor wrongdoers
Aztecs with thousands of skulls on a rack
Amateur executions - hack, hack, hack, hack!

Pharaohs all buried with their bottom wiper
Roman deodorant made from a viper
Burke and Hare stealing from Edinburgh's graves
Yes, these are a few of my personal faves.

Creepy, weepy
Do I prefer pustules or boils? Hmm...
Spooky, kooky
Some of my best friends look like gargoyles.

William the Conqueror's exploding body
A gutsy performance, a funeral most oddy.
Ivan the Terrible stealing a bishop's togs
Sowed him in bear skins and let out the dogs...

When I'm feeling just a bit mis
Standing at death's door
I simply remember what makes people barf, and then I just laugh
Loads more!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!
