Hey Weirdos
Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time for terror,
The crypt of dark secrets penetrates beyond the darkness
Where the dead do return to live again,
The twisted nightmares of those who have gone beyond the grave,
And return possessing inoccent young bodies,
In an unspeakable whirlpool of demonic madness
And sexual possession!
And from behind the tombstone maybe you will see...
The monsters crash the pyjama party,
She was beautiful, Desirable and not altogether human.
See Frankenstein, in person, go into the audience
And carry screaming girls from their seats,
See The the heads of spectators chopped off
And thrown into the audience,
See vampire people!
A new dimension in shock like spending a night in a grave,
In horror vision and colour,
You paid for the whole seat but you'll only use the edge!
In the event of a coronary, insanity or death suffered due to the program
The producers or theatre cannot be held liable in any way.
We warn you... Horror Vision is not 3D!
Not 3D!
Not 3D!
Not 3D!
The song "Hey Weirdos" by Zombina and the Skeletones is an ode to horror and the macabre. The lyrics describe a world where the dead return to life, possessing innocent young bodies and creating a whirlpool of demonic madness and sexual possession. The singer implores the listeners to come and witness this horror, where monsters crash pyjama parties and beautiful, desirable but not altogether human women roam. The lyrics paint a picture of a horrific world where even the spectators are at risk of having their heads chopped off and thrown into the audience.
The song is a commentary on our fascination with death and the unknown. The singer warns of the dangers of participating in this program and absolves the producers and theatre of any liability in the event of coronary, insanity or death suffered due to the horror on display. The repetition of "not 3D" at the end of the song seems to be a nod to the gimmicks used in horror films to enhance the viewing experience, such as 3D glasses.
Overall, "Hey Weirdos" is a fun, tongue-in-cheek homage to horror and the supernatural. By blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, the song allows listeners to immerse themselves in a world of horror and revel in the thrill of the unknown.
