About the song
Cthulhu (other spellings: Kutulu, Q'thulu, Ktulu, Cthulu, Kthulhut, Kulhu, Thu Thu, Tulu,[1] and many others) is a fictional being created by horror author H.P. Lovecraft.[2] Cthulhu is often preceded by the epithet Great, Dead, or Dread.
Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'hloo" or "Kathooloo"[3] S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions.[4] According to Lovecraft, however, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language.[5]
Cthulhu first appeared in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928) — though he makes minor appearances in a few other of Lovecraft's works.[6] August Derleth used the creature's name to describe the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors, the Cthulhu Mythos.
