[Intro – Dirty southern guitar crawls through distant thunder. Industrial bass pulses as fire crackles beneath the stage.]
[Devil – Low, amused]
Well…
Y’all miss me?
[Crowd]
YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!
[Devil]
Good.
’Cause Hell got mighty boring.
[Massive guitar hit.]
YODEL-AY-HEEEEEEE!!
⸻
[Verse 1 – Heavy southern groove. The Devil swaggers across the stage as the crowd stomps.]
Last year I came up raising Hell,
Thought I’d show these fools a thing,
Then some hairy mountain bastard
Made the whole damn valley sing!
Went back home with ringing ears,
Smoke still pouring from my coat,
Spent twelve months down there practicing—
NOW LISTEN TO THIS NOTE!
[Devil – Explosive yodel]
YOOOOODEL-AY-HEE-HI-HOOOOOO!!
[Crowd]
OH SHIT!!
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Industrial drums accelerate. Hellfire choir rises.]
He brought the fire!
[Crowd]
TURN IT UP!
He brought the brimstone!
NOT ENOUGH!
Devil grins and grabs the mic—
“ALRIGHT, YOU BASTARDS…
ROUND TWO TONIGHT!”
⸻
[Chorus – Crushing guitars and industrial EDM detonate beneath demonic rapid-fire yodeling.]
THE DEVIL CAME BACK YODELIN’!!
Hellfire burning, speakers smokin’!
YODEL-AY-HEE!
YODEL-AY-HOO!
OLD RED’S GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE!!
Stomp your boots!
Raise some Hell!
MAKE THAT DAMN CHURCH RING ITS BELL!
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!!
THE DEVIL CAME BACK—
AND HE’S YODELIN’ TOO!!
⸻
[Verse 2 – Faster southern-metal riff. The Devil points toward the mountains.]
I practiced underneath the flames,
Made demons learn the harmony,
Had hellhounds howling backup vocals,
Till they begged to let me be!
Now I’m standing on this mountain,
Got the whole damn crowd possessed,
But somewhere deep inside those woods…
I hear that hairy bastard’s chest.
[Bigfoot – Distant]
YOOOOODEL-AY-HOOOOOOOO!!
[Devil]
Oh…
YOU WANNA DO THIS AGAIN?!
⸻
[Yodel Duel – Guitars and industrial bass trade blows with increasingly impossible yodels.]
[Devil]
YO-DEL-YO-DEL-YO-DEL-AY-HEE!
[Bigfoot]
YO-LAY-HOO-YO-LAY-HOO-YO-LAY-HOO!
[Devil]
YODELAYHEE-YODELAYHOO-YODELAYHEE!!
[Bigfoot]
YOOOOO-LAY-HEE-HI-HOOOOOO!!
[Crowd]
FASTER!
FASTER!
FASTER!
[Devil – Machine-gun speed]
YO-DELAYHEE-YO-DELAYHOO-YO-DELAYHEE-YO-DELAYHOO!!
[Bigfoot answers with an enormous roar.]
YOOOOOOOOODEL-AY-HOOOOOO!!
[Devil]
…son of a bitch got better.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Hellfire choir, festival crowd and full band collide.]
THE DEVIL CAME BACK YODELIN’!!
Whole damn mountain’s overheating!
YODEL-AY-HEE!
YODEL-AY-HOO!
HELL ITSELF IS YODELIN’ TOO!!
Fire high!
Guitars scream!
THIS IS DUMBER THAN MY WILDEST DREAMS!
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!
[Crowd]
YODEL-AY-HEE-YODEL-AY-HOO!
[Devil]
I WAITED A WHOLE DAMN YEAR FOR THIS!!
[Everything detonates.]
⸻
[Outro – Fire settles. Bigfoot walks onto the stage. The Devil looks over.]
[Devil]
Well, big fella…
What’d you bring this year?
[Bigfoot points toward the forest.]
[Thousands of glowing eyes appear between the trees.]
[Devil]
…
Oh, hell.
[Bigfoot]
YODEL-AY-HOO.
