MC Lars and Mega Ran's "Masque of the Red Death", from their lit-hop album "the Dewey Decibel System". We wrote this song about Edgar Allan Poe's short story in 2017, but oddly, in our updated retelling, we predicted many things about 2020.

This is amazing! A great example of how history can repeat itself. I remember reading this high school being like how can people ignore the outside world?? And then 10 years later, I live in that very scenario. Really makes you think about the choices you make (staying home versus going out to eat for dinner- is it really necessary?) and now I reason with the party people. Maybe they were trying to escape but there is none. And if I were to throw a party (you are all invited) don't be surprised if death/COVID slips in.

@@mc_lars And I am thinking of you as I work on an interview with one of Pat’s psychiatrists at Stanford. She is a wonderful, kind lady and very open about Pat, about suicide, and LGBT issues. It will be a good addition to the book.
This is the best song off of the album. Love the “ha ha!” during the chorus

Fresh Lars and Mega Ran on a Monday. Winning!
This was by far the best track on the album. Everything went right here. The mixing is incredible. Couldn’t do a better tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. Loved that there were three full length verses instead of the typical two. This was the song of the album. Both mega ran and mc Lars were fire here. This is a track instantly liked but still somehow grew on me. The production was just next level. I love the contradicting nature of mega ran and mc Lars characters in this song. Initially I thought this song was about the Great Gatsby, throwing a huge pretentious party. Mega ran and mc lars is better chemistry than run the jewels. I can’t see them making a song quite as brilliant as this one again, not because they doesn’t possess the talent but this little secret gem is unmatched on this album. Even “Walden” wouldn’t stand a chance and that’s a pretty dope song. This is a generational banger. I love the cadence here and conceptually it sorta reminds me of The Lost Emperor’s “Secret Wars” in its protagonist vs antagonist theme.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and deep appreciation for our track. It means the world to me. That Last Emperor "Secret Wars" is amazing, thanks for putting me on to it.
What a hilariously dated story- rich people locking themselves in their mansion and partying like there's nothing wrong while a pandemic rages! LOL Poe you're so amusing.

Great vid, Lars! As others have said, it’s pretty insane to me how easily people can hear about plagues of ages past and pretend that ones happening now are fake.

We miss you guys and can't wait to see you and our other fellow nerds as soon as things are okay again. P.S. is Mega Ran's colored hair going to be a regular thing now? I love it!
Great track and the vid is kicking... Vincent Price for the win
Truly a song for our times 😁
