Ivanushka is a song by Lemon Demon created in 2009 but released on Neil's Patreon on Jan 8, 2018.
The lyrics are based on the film Jack Frost; a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. The description on the Patreon page reads: "Here's a circa 2009 demo that never saw daylight until now. At some point I decided to get less referential with my lyrics and parts of this song transformed into Touch-Tone Telephone. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!"
Lyrics[]
Mushroom man, mushroom man, shrouded in mystique
Mushroom man, mushroom man, playin' hide and seek
Someday I will capture you, you fungal little freak, oh, oh
Mushroom man, mushroom man, playin' hide and seek, all right
Nastenka, Nastenka, with a prilly pear
Nastenka, Nastenka, I really dig your hair
It will never work 'cause you're a girl and I'm a bear, oh-oh-oh
Nastenka, Nastenka, gotta wonder where went that
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh, oh
These days nothing is what it seems
His head, my paws, they haunt my dreams
My reflection tells me whether I should learn to fear the feather
And to not forget my mother
Mushroom man, mushroom man, where the hell'd you go?
Mushroom man, mushroom man, I would like to know
Tell me why my lady friend is freezing in the snow, oh, oh
Mushroom man, mushroom man, I'd like to know, I would
Nastenka, Nastenka, cudgels have been tossed
Nastenka, Nastenka, here comes Father Frost
Now you are an otter pop and I'm completely lost, oh-oh-oh
Nastenka, Nastenka, I am a hostage of
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh, oh
I'm glad you did not have to see
Hunchback Fairy seducing me
I was only thinking of you all I know is that I love you
Now I'll have to microwave you
Just to save you from the grave to
Walk with you and hold your hand, hand
Through this most enchanted land
But if we find the mushroom man
Don't mind me if I tear his head off
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Father Mushroom
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
Ivanushka, -ushka oh-oh-oh
