I'll Eat Yer Brain

If I ran a game store I would play the song I'll Eat Yer Brain by Bill Mills.

Bill Mills, showing that his finger is on the pulse of pop culture, released a zombie song that's a parody of a nearly 100-year-old song at the height of the zombie craze in 2011. A move like that takes guts. This song has guts, the kind of guts that ooze through the abdomen and onto the floor. I'll Eat Yer Brain is a filk song based upon the early 20th century folk standard "Little Liza Jane". Mr. Mills's version is told from the perspective of a zombie singing to its prey. It's a twangy song that is very near bluegrass in style. He keeps the lyrics of the verses quiet (not sure if that's on purpose or not) and brings it up for the chorus, with the effect being that it's easy to overlook this being a zombie song at first. It's not until you find yourself singing along, "Oooh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain," that you really get a taste for I'll Eat Yer Brain.

I'll Eat Yer Brain was released on the FuMP in 2011.

I'll Eat Yer Brain lyrics

I was once a normal guy
I'll eat yer brain
But now I'm not and you know why
I'll eat yer brain

You're alive and I have died
I'll eat yer brain
And somehow I got Zombiefied
I'll eat yer brain

I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain

I've been dead for a week or more
I'll eat yer brain
I'd say there's lots of gore in store
I'll eat yer brain

See my mouth just drooling slime
I'll eat yer brain
That's because it's my lunch time
I'll eat yer brain

I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain

This has to be some mistake
I'll eat yer brain
I should be eating steak or cake
I'll eat yer brain

No restaurant or fast food chains
I'll eat yer brain
Can offer better grub than brains
I'll eat yer brain

I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
Oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
Oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
I'll eat yer, oh, I'll eat yer, I'll eat yer brain
