Vasa Diga Eelohai
Some of you guys liked the transcriptions I did of other songs from The Book of Mormon demo (found HERE), so I’ve done another one! The original Hasa Diga Eebowai! :D
Vasa Diga Eelohai – demo version
This is all sung by Trey Parker, except for the end with Bobby Lopez, and, like, 2 lines by Matt Stone. Unless specified, it’s Trey Parker.
MAFALA
Here in Somalia, we have a saying – whenever something bad happens, we just throw our hands up to the sky and say “Vasa Diga Eelohai!”
ELDER CUNNINGHAM
Vasa Diga Eelohai?
MAFALA
It’s the only way to get through all these troubled times. With the wars and poverty and famine…all we can do is say “Vasa Diga Eelohai!”
There isn’t enough food to eat
Vasa Diga Eelohai!
People are starving in the street
Vasa Diga Eelohai!
Vasa Diga Eelohai!
Vasa Diga Eelohai!
I don’t know if this has been posted on tumblr yet, but I found it while perusing bww. I personally love listening to demos for musicals. They’re almost always very different from the finished product, but the ideas they were trying to get across are the same. This specifically is interesting because Trey Parker and Matt Stone sing a lot, and I just see all of the South Park characters in my mind singing these things. Hahaha. Anyways, enjoy.
IKR??? I love the demo! I like seeing how much they kept and how much they changed - like H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks! I’ve typed up a lot of the lyrics, here, FYI.
Throwing Shade is almost one year old! So Bryan and Erin get nostalgic as they reminisce on how they first met and how that led to a friendship without any benefits. They also throw some shade at gay hate on Twitter, the insanity that is Joe Walsh, and also play a game of Shade/No Shade that involves professional walking-out-of-the-ocean model Hugh Jackman. Woop’em Gangnam style!

Fall is finally here! Which means Erin got lost in a corn maze. But she managed to escape and is ready to throw some shade at pink-washing during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a homophobic home-schooled New Zealand teen, and hypocrisy in People Magazine. They also welcome their first guest - comedian Guy Branum! They’ve had the time of their lives - and they owe it all to you!

Not only all those things, but they ALSO mention that THEY’RE SEEING THE BOOK OF MORMON soon!!! And also, they talk about a character, Small Mouth, Normal-Sized teeth, but little do they know I already OWN smallmouth.co.uk, which is exactly that. lol.
So, for any of you out there who have listened to the Book of Mormon demo songs, there’s a version of “Tomorrow is a Latter Day” where Trey opens it with a slow version of, “I am a latter day saint - I know not what the future holds, and I still have yet to truly find my way” and in the background (as a different character) he yells out, “Hey! That’s Hymn 27!” So…I looked it up and put it to the track and sure enough! It works fairly well, lol. The first half with with the melody line from the hymn, and the second half is just the backing music of the hymn. Enjoy!
So that’s what he says! I always thought he said, “That’s him, 27!” Ahh, yes, everything is far less peculiar now.
lololol! I guess he does technicallysay that as well, but spelled “hymn” instead, lol. Yay! I’ll have to do a lyrics post of this.

Eeeheee, I made YOU ALL a South Park version of the demo for “Making Things Up Again” sung by Trey Parker, or now sung by Stan (with some Clive, etc). You can REALLY hear it at 2:12.
YOU’RE WELCOME. Heh.
The Bible, Part 3
^embedded player
I’ve done another of my Book of Mormon Demo transcriptions! This time it’s “The Bible, Part 3” a.k.a. “All-American Prophet, the Prequel” lol. The other transcriptions I’ve done.
I love this version, and the final version. Watching the two bootlegs and comparing this and the final versions with each other, you can tell what parts were really important to them to keep based on how long they clung to it before getting rid of it. This video helps explain that, and explains “I have maggots in my scrotum”, lol:“Once we came up with that ‘I have maggots in my scrotum’ would replace ‘I thought the third Matrix was the worst one’ – which really is the same thing…” lol.
- Trey Parker: Elder Price (default), Joseph Smith, God, Nabulungi & Gotswana
- Bobby Lopez: Elder Cunningham
Trey:
(as Elder Price) The Old Testament was written
Thousands of years ago
But it was only Part One
Of the greatest story ever told
Many, many years later
The Bible’s sequel came about
It was called The New Testament
And made lots of people shout
But what if I were to tell you
That there’s more of the story to hear?
What if there’s more Bible to read?
*chuckle* Now I’ve got your ear…
Trey & Bobby:
Just like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars
The Bible is a trilogy too!
And if you don’t read or see Part Three
It’ll all be confusing to you.
H-E-Double Hockey-Sticks (Spooky Mormon Hell Dream demo)
^ embedded player
Hey! I hope you guys like these lyric posts I keep making, lol, since I keep making them. This is such an awesome song, and so is Spooky Mormon Hell Dream, does anyone know the specific reason they changed the title/name?
This one is sung almost entirely by Trey Parker, with the exception of Adolf Hitler’s one line, which is sung by Matt Stone.
ELDER PRICE
Hello
Hello
Hello?
Where am I?
SATAN
Elder Price! You are charged with leaving your companion behind, with doubting the words of Heavenly Father! Welcome to your new home!
ELDER PRICE
My new home?
In the Bible there’s a place where all the bad folk go,
Where the darkness beats the light and fills your heart with woe
And there’s no leaving, there’s no turning back from what I know.
And if you die while doubting Christ they say it’s where you’ll dwell
With lots of chains and burning lava and a nasty, nasty smell -
This must be it, I must be there, I must be in…H-E-Double Hockey-Sticks.
Nooooo!
