This ultra lo-fi vampire rock song segues into a Bauhaus parody with delusions of Star Wars.

Artist picture
English Major is Grahm Eberhardt (of Mayhem Lettuce fame). Electronic indie rock. Pop Will Eat Moldy Peaches.
English Major is a one-man armada of rad. Using cutting edge loop samples, innovative (read: incompetent) guitar work and deadly subterfuge, I craft my songs of sad comedy.

Story behind the song
I recorded this song naked in my parents' living room about 6 years ago. The music was made with a few cheesy computer programs, including Hammerhead and assembled in Goldwave. I then played it very loudly while singing and scraping a ballpoint pen on a banjo, recording the whole deal directly into a cassette recorder. You can hear my mom's clocks in the background. The song idea came about upon seeing Smashing Pumpkins' video for "Ava Adore". Billy's skulking about with his shaved head and scary vampire outfit and the name Nosferöcktu happened. The second half of the song actually came first. I was at Wal-Mart with Steve looking for Star Wars action figures when we somehow started singing "Governor Tarkin's dead... undead undead undead". So later I wrote it all down and BLAMMO! Here it is.
Lyrics
Nosferöcktu - living dead Has a rhythm in his head Nourished by the blood of the damned Nosferöcktu joins my band With me on guitar and Renfield on bass Nosferöcktu rocks the place Women scream to see him smile With his bald head he sets the style Nosferöcktu - living dead Has a rhythm in his head With his cloak of black and fangs of white Nosferöcktu rocks all night Pointed ears and teeth so long Nosferöcktu sings his song With power over wolf and rat Changes shape into a bat and fly, Nosferöcktu, fl Nosferöcktu Nosferöcktu - living dead Has a rhythm in his head Sexy German vampire 100 groupies call him Sire Sings his songs of blood and lust Sunshine turns him into dust Zombies shuffling their feet to Nosferöcktu's disco beat Nosferöcktu - living dead Has a rhythm in his head In his coffin he'll be found While he travels to your town Keep your garlic and your cross Cuz Nosferöcktu is the boss He'll rock his way right outta the crypt Buy your tickets you won't get gypped By Nosferöcktu Grey on grey Red, gold and blue pips adorn his breast Governor Tarkin's dead Vader has left the Death Star Han Solo has come back Luke used the Force to guide his shot Governor Tarkin's dead Governor Tarkin's dead Undead undead undead Undead undead undead Emperor Palpatine made him Grand Moff Oversector Outer is held within his grasp Enthroned in a darkened room He broods Governor Tarkin's dead Governor Tarkin's dead Governor Tarkin's dead Undead undead undead Moff Tarkin Tarkin's undead Moff Tarkin Tarkin's undead
