Full of brooding: Song “Dracula’s Lament”
A friend of mine (non-vampire) sent me the following clip because he said it reminded him of me.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked the link. (Well, other than the fact that it would surely feature blood-sucking creatures that is.) I never expected this:
You just had the pleasure of witnessing Jason Segal’s rendition of “Dracula’s Lament.” I watched this clip having no background information about the film, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” in which it was featured. Understandably then I had no clue what went on to lead up to this spectacular number.
At first I was completely boggled and couldn’t understand what he saying with his pseudo-Transylvanian accent. Maybe I was just in awe of the accent… maybe it was sheer horror… I don’t really know.
During the following verses, I really started feeling Dracula’s plight:
“And if I see Van Helsing, I swear to the Lord I will slay him! A-ha-ha-haa!
Take it from me I swear I will let it be so! A-ha-ha-haa!!
Blood will run down his face when he is decapitated…aah!
His head on my mantle is how I will let this world know:
How much I love you…”
His girl seemed to like it. That’s all that matters.
I believe “Dracula’s Lament“ needs to fall along the lines of this more:
(Love the song. Hate the video.)
…”Tainted Love” by Marilyn Manson.
