Lemon Demon - Ivanushka (2009)

[@MarioGenerations]

Whenever I hear this song I think “how the hell did a song about Jack Frost turn into a song about a conspiracy theorist trying to call a paranormal talk show?”

[@viiviketomaki7284]

Neil explained it a little in the commentary track, apparently he wasn't happy with having the track be so reliant on a reference to another piece of media.

@@jemjemjemjem Yeah I guess something changed between 2014 and 2016.

[@Dinomatrix21]

@@jemjemjemjem Maybe it's cause this Russian version of Jack Frost isn't as widely well known in America as, you know, Jaws? It's a pop culture icon. Course I could be wrong, but it's a possibility, right?

[@naito281]

jack frost??? why??

[@anonnico5475]

this is terrifying because it feels fundamentally wrong

[@tompeck5495]

So it's a perfect Lemon Demon song?

[@pop2art]

when i heard the part that sounds like ttt i was so unnerved

[@20072008ss]

neil talks about it in his spirit phone commentary i think

[@CounteredSnow]

the first time i heard this i almost screamed at that part, then proceeded to jam because it's TTT

[@precentvm8455]

I noticeably shuddered when I got to that pary

[@Connorses]

I read this comment and didn't think it could be that weird but damn you're right. you right.

[@halcyonherascarter7018]

this is bizarrely anxiety-inducing... i keep waiting for the chorus to be touch tone telephone

[@themenedic1425]

i guess they were right. this song has the curse of gay vibes, no matter how it's played

Is it just me or does Neil pronounce Ivanushka differently almost every time he says it?

[@khekin7805]

yes he does,but if he pronounced it right,the song wouldnt be the same. Proper pronounciation is ivAnushka

This was the last place I've expecred to find russian folklore... How did he even find this skazka in the first place? Time to make up some conspiracy theories about it...
