about

The first track in what may perhaps become a Cloverfield musical rock opera. Obviously it's basically I Hate Vampires with different vocals, but maybe we could record original songs for it, too? Might be super fun... :D

lyrics

NARRATOR:
Robert Hawkins has just earned a promotion and is about to fly out to work in Japan. His friends have decided to throw him one more surprise party on the eve of his departure. But Rob's real adventure will begin without any provocation, for before the dawn comes, New York will be the site of Project Designation: Cloverfield.

ROB:
Beth McIntyre! Beth McIntyre!
Don't you know to me
She's the Mc- entire world?

PARTY GUEST:
Hey Rob! Knock 'em dead at your job, you dog!

ROB:
I'll tell her tonight!
Maybe I'm right and that fateful weekend
Meant more than some fun between friends
I must explain before I'm boarding the plane
I'll tell her tonight!!

HUD:
So here we go! I guess I got a camera, so
I'm taping messages for Rob, like at a wedding, you know?
I got Antonio and Lily and Marlena and Joe
The night is young, let's see who's at the door!

ROB:
Beth and Travis?! In my head...
She sets my heart on fire, I aspire to McIntyre
(OH MY GAWD!!)

JASON:
(Alright, Rob, out on the porch, we gotta talk)
Let her go! Take it from me, bro
Beth is totally out of this world
But she's also out of your league, man
There'll be more girls like her in Japan

ROB:
No, I don't think that's so
I've slept with other girls, Beth was special
It might have been love!

JASON: It was just one night!

ROB:
It was NOT just one night!
It meant the WORLD to me
I've liked this girl since the beginning of HISTORY
I wanted her to be my wife and bear my PROGENY
Leave me alone! Just let me be...

Beth and Travis, in her bed...
She sets my heart on fire, I aspire to McIntyre
(I hate you, Travis)

BETH: Look, Rob... I guess we're gonna go. Good luck in Japan, alright?

ROB: Yeah, good luck TONIGHT, Travis.

JASON: Whoa, what was that on the roof?

REPORTER:
We are getting reports that New York is under attack by a creature of unknown origin. It's ravaging through the city. The military has been dispatched but at this point it's impossible to tell if they're doing any good. If you're in New York: god help you.

ROB: We've gotta get to Beth!

JASON: Are you crazy?!
HUD: We don't even know where she is, man!

ROB: We've gotta find her. I'll save you, Beth.

You set my heart on fire, I aspire to McIntyre
You set my heart on fire

EVERYONE: Get - to - Beth - ALIVE!
