Behind The Tracks: Pulpit Vomit - Turkey Annihilation (Single) (2022)

'Turkey Annihilation' is about a mad scientist who synthesized turkey's in his lab and they ended up becoming sentient. They have grown massively and are now attempting to destroy mankind for revenge against all the turkey's we eat during the holidays.

I do eat turkey on Thanksgiving, but the song is sort of an homage to Tourniquet's Ted Kirkpatrick (RIP). I chatted with him once about Tofurkeys. As you all probably know, Ted was a vegan. I have actually cut way back on my animal products over the years, but still do enjoy a good steak and burger, and yes, turkey. I told him I tried a tofurkey once and it wasn't too bad. Anyway, we joked about turkey's getting revenge one day, and since he was a huge Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft fan, I thought it might be fun to do a Lovecraft-type story in a song about that.

Another working title was, 'You Eat Us, We Eat You.' Haha. What's the point of any of this if you're not having a little fun."

Lyrics:

Altered in a lab
Genetic fusion
Enormous Poultry
Flee for your lives

You breed us, we breed you
You kill us, we kill you
You cook us, we cook you
You eat us, we eat you

Dissecting pieces
Gnawing on your legs
Extra gravy
We're coming for you

Leftovers

You breed us, we breed you
You kill us, we kill you
You cook us, we cook you
You eat us, we eat you
You breed us, we breed you
You kill us, we kill you
You cook us, we cook you
You eat us, we eat you
