Cryptids in Music: A Hidden Soundtrack to Bigfoot and Beyond

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Squatch For Daves, host Dave takes us on a musical journey through some of the most iconic Cryptid-inspired songs. The video, titled "How do you explain THIS (if CRYPTIDS aren’t real)!?", explores the connection between mysterious creatures and music, highlighting the way these enigmatic beings have inspired artists around the world. Dave starts our journey with Laura Lakin's "Loch Ness Monster," a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the essence of Nessie and the subtleties of her legend. The video then moves on to the Randy Rogers Band and La Macanaria Nortenia's "Chupacabra," a tune that blends the mythic traits of the creature with questionable dance moves. No Cryptid-inspired music list would be complete without a nod to Tenacious D's "Sasquatch," a song that pays homage to the elusive creature and reminds us that he's real. The video also features Patty Connors' "Cryptids in the Hood," a hip-hop track that transports us through urban streets with vivid beats and lyrics that paint a picture of Bigfoot as a far-out cryptid preacher. The video also highlights the connection between Cryptids and music beyond just the lyrics. Eric Serrano's album cover for the Midnight Whistler's debut album features evocative artwork showcasing Bigfoot's innate rhythm and blues. So why are artists so inspired by Cryptids? Dave suggests that it's because Cryptids represent the unexplained corners of our world, and much like music, they allow us to break free from conventions and venture into uncharted territory. They're a fun way to explore the unknown and create something truly transcendental. If you're a fan of Cryptids and music, this video is definitely worth a watch. Squatch For Daves does an excellent job of highlighting the connection between these two mysterious worlds and showcasing some of the most iconic Cryptid-inspired songs. So sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a journey through the enigmatic and rhythmatic world of Cryptids.
