The Hungry Swarm (70s Rock Opera ver)

A small tribute to the killer budgies in Miyazak's "The Boy and the Heron" LYRICS: They came from the tower, feathered freaks, Little claws an' bloody beaks, Like an angry hive, They'll eat you alive, With flappin' wings an' piercin' shrieks. Pink an' blue an' green an' gold, Their eyes like buttons, wide an' cold, Takin' to the air, With malice and flair, A nightmare too terrible to behold! Hey hey, they’re peckin' again, Ravenous 'keets, they need to eat! Hey hey, don’t let ‘em in, The famished flock will make you their meat! A seethin' storm, The budgie swarm! The budgie swarm! They stream like static in the skies, A buzz of wings an' banshee cries, Twitchin' tails, Gone off th' rails, To torment, taunt, an' terrorize! Hey hey, they’re peckin' again, Starvin' birds, they need to eat! Hey hey, don’t let ‘em in, This gluttonous mob will make you their meat! They're on the attack, The parakeet pack! They're on the attack, The parakeet pack! He built the tower, broke the seal, Thought pretty little birds would give it more appeal But cute got replaced with deadly zeal They atch, they bite, they just want a meal, They’re a hungry horde with beaks of steel! Tiny feet patter on marbled stone, From such little birds how they have grown! A surgin' crowd, So bright an' loud If they catch you all hope has flown! Hey hey, they’re peckin' again, Got empty bellies, they need to eat! Hey hey, don’t let ‘em in, They hunger to make you their meat! Duck and scream, This is no dream! Better run if ya hear their song, The bitin', scratchin', flappin' atchin' Insatiable budgie throng! ------------------------ Video made in: https://vizzy.io Lyrics by Cerulean Spire 2026 Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli own this property; this is purely a fan-made homage with no monetary goals.
