    A guitarist dies, after writing the best riff of his life. As far as the Police are concerned, the death appears to be due to natural causes. But to Jareth McHendry, it is the sinister work of an evil Musomancer, and the start of a powerful spell that will ruin mankind.
    Is Jareth a deluded eccentric, or is he the only person standing between humanity and catastrophic devastation? Can he track down the evil Musomancer?And if he does, will he be able to keep his guitar in tune long enough to save the world?

about

A fairly straightforward tale of derring-do, sung in a very silly voice.
As you may have guessed, I had just learned how to play Substitute by The Who on guitar and I wanted to do something cool with chord inversions and stuff like that.

lyrics

Settle down, take the cup
Say your cheers, yeah, drink it up
Say your cheers, cry your tears
Come the morning you're leaving here

Take your coat, yeah take your boots
Here's the piper and here's the lute
The lutenist plays, the gentleman pays
Come the morning you'll be on your way

Threatened by evil
You are our champion!
Take him our answer
Vanquish the Necromancer

He can turn into a tree
Causing lesser men to flee
But you're the village champion
Vanquish him! Vanquish him! Vanquii-iiish him!

Evil walks within the land
The Necromancer shall die by your hand
And it won't be long now

(Semi-harmonised guitar solo)
