The lyrics are pure whimsy, and I even tried to cop that funny nasal 80’s singing style you hear from acts like Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, the Cars, etc. Naturally, I sort of buffed it up with an overexcited guitar riff with synth fanfare that brings it more into the "80’s adventure cartoon about magical animal people who are experts at magic, fencing, and friendship” vibe.
