Story Behind the Song
This song was written to make fun of a seriously overhyped movie. The most fun part of recording it was adding cheesy sound effects and doo-wop vocals.
Lyrics
Blair Witch Blues
Words and music copyright 1999 by Steve Brooks
Well, I went into the forest, to see what I could see.
I went into the forest, to solve a mystery.
But the thing that I was hunting, has started hunting me.
I went into the forest, looking for a spook.
I went to make a movie, I didn’t have much loot.
Now, the movie I was shooting is making people puke.
CHORUS
I got the Blai-ee-ai-ee-air Wi-yi-i-yi-itch Blues
I went down to the river, I found me a log to cross.
Seven hours later, I’m back in the same damn spot.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think that I was lost.
I woke up this morning, I nearly shit a brick. (spit my grits)
‘Cause hanging all around me were figures made of sticks.
Somebody find a pay phone, and call the Exorcist.
CHORUS
Well, it’s no fun camping when you’re cold and wet and scared.
Got a week’s worth of laundry, and cooties in my hair,
And these screams all around me, make me stain my underwear.
This house on the hilltop, it fills my heart with dread.
My buddy’s in the corner with a rope around his head.
If my luck don’t get better, I bet I’ll end up…
He had the Blai-ee-ai-ee-air Wi-yi-i-yi-itch Blues.
