The Mighty Boosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Satan's evil in a nylon gown
Evil cakes
Fiery Lakes
Nanageddon's coming with a demon in a wig
Evil cakes
Fiery Lakes
Nanageddon's coming with a demon in a wig
The Thames is red, the moon is dead
Little Jimmy crying got a needle in his head
This is an outrage!
Night time creatures
Aged beasters
Chasin' you down
Huntin' you down
Draggin' you down
Like an aged demon
Wrinkled evil
Sucking the life from the youthfull faces
The moon is scared, can't compare
Wrinkled evil in an aged night mare
Blood on the walls of London Town
Satan's evil in a nylon gown
Evil cakes
Fiery Lakes
Nanageddon's coming bringing demons in her wake
Evil cakes, Fiery lakes
Nanageddon's coming bringing demons in her wake
The lyrics to The Mighty Boosh's Nanageddon are a surreal and humorous representation of an apocalyptic event. The song begins by describing blood on the walls of London Town and Satan's evil in a nylon gown. The imagery used here paints a vivid picture of a dark and foreboding atmosphere. The second set of lyrics talks about evil cakes and fiery lakes, which adds to the surreal nature of the song. The repetition of the phrase "Nanageddon's coming with a demon in a wig" emphasizes the impending doom that is to come.
The third set of lyrics talks about the Thames turning red and the moon being dead. The mention of Little Jimmy crying with a needle in his head adds to the feeling of chaos and destruction. The use of the word "outrage" in between these lines gives a sense of alarm and urgency. The fourth set of lyrics paints a picture of night time creatures and aged beasts, chasing and hunting down their prey. The idea of aged demons sucking the life out of youthful faces creates a juxtaposition between youth and death.
Overall, the lyrics to Nanageddon are a satirical take on an apocalypse, using surreal and absurd imagery. The repetition of certain phrases, such as "evil cakes" and "fiery lakes," adds to the nonsensical nature of the song. The use of humor and wit makes this song a beloved favorite among fans of The Mighty Boosh.

@Nik Jones You could always do a cover of Ape of Death or Nanageddon. They already got a heavy feel to them to begin with.
