The first of hopefully a few clips, from the Danish version of Reptilicus from 1961. Here we have the infamous Song sceen where Dirck Passer (the janitor) sings about Reptilicus for some children.
English Lyric translation:
English:
Do you truly not know who \"Tilicus\" is?
Children: \"no\"
Man: \"Naowra\" (meaning something like \"Oh really\")
Song begins:
Tilicus is really a greate fairytale
it attacks even the largest elefant
it is wild, spits fire, scares even a smoked herring
Childre: Come here now, little pus, who is scared of Tilicus
On its back it has a lot of large scales
when it arrives all the people cry goodbye
sharp claws, wingspan, at least a kilometer long
Childre: Come here now, little pus, who is scared of Tilicus
Whoever sees my Tilicus he gets a shock
when it moves it dances in a slow rock
it's mad, abnormal, grabs people from the fifth floor
Childre: Come here now, little pus, who is scared of Tilicus
Tilicus can fly as fast as any jet
see now how it brakes mid air without regret
that was fun, thank God, now run before it goes on the prowl
Childre: Come here now, little pus, who is scared of Tilicus
Danish:
Ved i virkeligt ikke hvem \"tilicus\" er?
Children: \"no\"
Man: \"Naowra\" (meaning something like \"Oh really\")
Song begins:
Tilicus er alletiders fabeldyr
den gr ls p selv de strste snabeldyr
den er vild, spruder ild, skrmmer selv en rget sild
Childre: Kom kun frem, lille pus, hvem er rad for Tilicus
P sin ryg den har en masse store skld
kommer den s skriger alle folk farvel
skarpe klr, vingefang, mindst en kilometer lang
Childre: Kom kun frem, lille pus, hvem er rad for Tilicus
Den der ser min Tilicus han fr et shock
nr den gr s danser den en langsom rock
den er gal, unormal, snapper folk fra femte sal
Childre: Kom kun frem, lille pus, hvem er rad for Tilicus
Tilicus kan flyve hurtigt som en jet
se nu der den bremser pludseligt med et st
det var sjov, guskelov, lb nu fr den gr p rov
Childre: Kom kun frem, lille pus, hvem er rad for Tilicus
