I think the song does a wonderful job of conveying the idea of a small scurrying supernatural creature that is mischievous rather than evil

[@cheesewizard3965]

Dreq Magikarp strangely enough, Gef seemed to do both good and bad things. Apparently, despite the fact he said things like “I could kill you all if I wanted,” and threw pebbles at the windows at night, he was also very helpful. He woke the family up when they overslept, and put out the stove when they forgot to. When they had mice, Gef took the role of a cat and became a mouser for them. It seems as if, in the unlikely event he’s real, that he wanted to scare people more so than seriously hurt anybody. To the point where, according to Wikipedia, when he hunted mice, “he preferred to scare them rather than kill them.“ First conclusion? Hoax. Second conclusion? Fairfolk. Third conclusion? Trickster god.

Gef actually has some wicked screwed up intentions. He ripped out the throats of other family's livestock, and also had thoughts about killing the family he was haunting

[@barbpaq]

@@XAtTheBusStopX it's possible. One of the investigators that came out to the house had a white cat jump in his lap that he started petting. Noone else could see it. Also, Jim saw a larger than Gef sized animal outside the house. When he went in to tell his wife about it, Gef said, 'Jim that was me.' So he could shape shift. So it's possible but not conclusive that the new neighbor killed Gef while under the form of another similar type critter.

The guy who moved into the house in 1947 after the Irvings left shot Gef dead. Even if he wasn't dead, it would still be another thirty-nine years until Neil was born, and then another twenty-three after that until Neil made this song. Besides that, Gef would still probably be in the Isle of Man to this day. Unless Neil could travel over there, find him, and bring him back to Massachusetts, I don't see how Gef could be there to sing this. Gef would've probably never let anyone record his voice anyway, so it's a moot point.

[@PocketDeerBoy]

I know this song is about a cryptid n shit but to me it feels almost like it’s about the pride of *being* a freak in the eyes of society, proclaiming your existence to the world, yet feeling small and alone in standing against it. Even though you’re learning to love yourself the way society treats you still colors the way you feel about yourself. Sometimes being a freak feels good and fun, sometimes it’s paralyzing. I.E. sometimes the chorus ends with “i am a freak” and sometimes it ends with “i am the eighth wonder” as these feelings fluctuate. All the weird shit about “i’m a mongoose and i have hands and feet” feel pretty aligned with gen z queer humour. Anyways this was my queer reading of Lemon Demon’s Eighth Wonder

Just found out this song was based off a ghost story. In England in the 1920s-1930s there was this family who heard scratching in there walls. They put mouse traps in it but the scratching continued. It also made noises. If the family said a name of an animal, it would imitate the call. Soon one of them taught it nursery rhymes and it soon spoke fluent English. The thing said it was a man who died in the 1850s. His name was Geff and he took the form of a mongoose. Don’t remember the rest of the story, just thought that was cool.

Actually it was in Delby Isle Of Man

This probably the weirdest concept for song I've heard of in a long time let's talk about a Immortal Mongoose that can talk and is egotistical enough to call itself the 8th Wonder and lives inside a walls

[@natacialallathin7774]

Gef the mongoose

[@themandownstairs4765]

the implication that Gef the mongoose turned into Neil at the end is both terrifying and also explains a lot about Neil

0:04. That. That bit right there is what got me into Two Trucks and subsequently all the albums that aren’t Spirit Phone. I may not like this song any more but it’s done wonders for me.

Forgot this song existed and suddenly remembered when someone was talking to me about a mongoose at his uncle's house. This song had me in a chokehold back in middle school. I remember downloading a rip of the KZbin video and saving it on an SD card to listen to on my Nintendo DSi because that was the only device i had that i could listen to music on lmao. I am feeling a little old right now remembering all this but I'm glad to revisit this song. I remember loving the video a lot too.

[@Sharion.Inuyatt]

This is one of my favorite music videos ever, it looks so simple and complex. And the fact that it's from 15 years ago also makes it... so different. And yes, I'm addicted to Lemon Demon.

[@liahansen6896]

whenever this starts playing on a playlist i think it's gonna be an ELO song at first

[@curiouslyhigh]

You know, when I first heard this, I was all, "Why does this remind me of my childhood?" and then I read the comments here, and it all became clear. I had a book that detailed Gef the talking mongoose's whole media sensation thing. Also, this sounds very TMBG inspired. I love all of it. If I could, I'd take it home to meet the folks.

[@taratbd]

[@sachsoup]

People keep saying that Lemon Demon's songs sound so modern despite being created a decade ago. So, I propose a theory that Neil is a time traveler that is highly likely living inside your walls.

[@diavolowifee]

1:55 this reminds me of the music of the evolution of the Pokémons lmao

Do a search on Gef the talking mongoose. The lyrics in this song all come from things Gef supposedly said

[@zintosion]

It's based on Gef the talking mongoose.

[@ethanriem9242]

When I first saw this I thought it was fan-made. Oddly enough, the second I saw it was made by Mr. Cicierega, I noticed how well made it was. Maybe I just worship Neil and instantly love anything he makes, wouldn't be too far of a stretch.

i have no clue why this song makes me feel so sad. sounds like gef really is just trapped, small. shouting but none can hear. he sounds unloved and unnoticed, says he's a freak and he knows he's right. doomed to the walls. sounds somehow like he's dying too? i dunno, it just really gets me.
