This was originally actually a ballad, with lyrics. Here is the synopsis I wrote for it:
"Dr. Yeomment, with the intention of world domination, grows a beard. When the beard is large enough, blue, reptilian monsters come out of it and, because he created them, they are bound to his will. Yeomment successfully dominates the world with these monsters, but soon another man picks up on the idea, growing his own beard and taking a considerable amount of Yeomment's empire. Many more people begin growing beards, and the world collapses into a state of chaotic feudalism. Throughout all of this, the monsters are mistreated and very much dislike fighting each other. Dr. Yeomment later dies of natural causes, and his monsters are free. The monsters assassinate many more monster owners to free more monsters. All of the free monsters form a league and soon become an invincible force. This is why little blue monsters currently rule the world."
Unfortunately, my lyrics were so bad that they ruined the song's plot, and my recording equipment was so bad that it made all of that even worse, so the original version is gone.
