It's been years since the first time I listened to this version, but that voice sample has been stuck in my head popping up every now and then randomly driving me insane...
*Dawns french accent* Ahhh, The nefarious Cthulhu Sleeps by the mau5 itself. Wonderous creature it is. As simple to mix into any other track as holy water. As delicious in the depths of foam at a club as in the car. Gets your day going or goes out with your day at the end of that 8 hour shift. *Sips wine you know nothing about but should* *Breathes and stares at the glass* *Reconnects eye contact with you* Divine.
For the argument about the name, it is Dead Mouse. It originated from Joel finding a dead mouse in his computer when he was trying to fix it, he tried to use that as an IRC nickname, but it was too long. So he used deadmau5, and the legend began.
it's a quote from the story "The Call of Cthulhu" written by HP Lovecraft. It's not really a true language but among avid fans or true believers it's used as a sort of greeting, the shortened form being "Cthulhu Fhtagn" or "Cthulhu Sleeps"
@FecklessCretin It's not that it's "basic," it's that he can make good music while not being over sophiscated with his sound. It's simplicity is what gives it character.
been listening to deadmau5 songs for years, Epic Meal time didnt make it better or worse (Cthulhu sleeps), just gave me a laugh here and there with a badass song in the background :D lol
Leurs musiques me r'file la gaule !!!! Yahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
5:30 In music theory, how would you describe this part ? I mean, when bars seem to be chopped in the middle before 4 beats or/and when the first time of a bar begins on the upbeat of the previous ? Sorry if it's not clear, I'm pretty drunk and English is not my first language.
I wish the sound that starts playing at 7:40 would be a bit more louder and longer. It's an awesome sound playing. It reminds me of like something they would play in a scary movie to get the heart beat going to get ready for the big scare or something. Just has that dark feeling to it :D
@vladuz1001 Deadmau5 is the premiere leader in the progressive genre. But the band Rush was also progressive, and a very different style. So, technically progressive, but a house/electro style of progressive.
If you didn't know about the epicness that is Deadmau5 before watching that EpicMealTime video then you're a not true fan! But the Mau5Nation will gladly take you into our arms for coming to the right place
it doesnt matter how you heard of it, it only matters that you did. like it or not its personal preferance. no hate to anyone to anything or anymusic if someone likes it they are a fan. if not its just not their thing either way it has no relevance to anyone else.

I had an ear infection a few weeks ago and in the process of getting it treated, docs discovered my hearing has been slightly damaged. I BLAME THE MAU5!
@naruto0123456780 using software does take skill, its just different cuz for example. when i pick a note on my guitar, i define the tone with how i hold the pick, how hard i pluck the string and the follow through. electronics lack that kind of intimate control over your sound.
This song tells a story. The first bass is Cthulu destroying medieval villages, and the slowing is some person defeating him, amd the slow part is him sleeping while the world continues, as the one who defeated him put him in the ocean, and then a oil spill or something happens above him in the ocean and that loud crash is him waking up, then the second bass is destroying modern citites while the random guy is praying.
2 things: 1. Deadmau5 DOES hate dubstep 2. This song is not dubstep, he's only made 3 dubstep songs (Derp, Raise Your Weapon and Dub5tep Thingy) this one is electro house :) You're welcome
I love this version tbh.
"It's not where you're from, it where you're going"
-I Remember
Always loved this version :)
I love that tinkling sound at 4:37
No, the sound of his melodic snores are what makes this song so much better!
The reasons why deadmau5 wears that hat at his gigs:
1) he's awesome
2) he's awesome
3) he's freaking awesome
7:20 The Poop Phenomenon
dammit now that's all i hear
It's been years since the first time I listened to this version, but that voice sample has been stuck in my head popping up every now and then randomly driving me insane...
Sounds like someone is sawing a plank with a cool rythm..lol funny but still good.
+Dave BL Lmao with one of those hand saws too! Once heard, cannot be unheard
Just a tremendous thanks to the OP for posting the exact source of this song. It's good do keep good records of this stuff.
it's hard to choose but this is probably my favorite deadmau5 song ever
"DA MONTH OF RAMADAN!"
I keep hearing "flip phone" in a high voice... Am I crazy?
youre too stoned lol
XD i hear it too
i can't stop hearing it now
+Vhavoc11 A year later, I think it's because Joel was looping Chris Lake & Nelski's Minimal Life track and it was saying "came for" over and over.
your not crazy at all its just the noise you hear in the music
6:48 "el no se lava ya" xD
Damn this song is amazing

cthulhu dreams>cthulhu sleeps
The build-up in this is far superior imo. But this video doesn't do it justice.

OH MY GOD! thank you soooo much, I've been looking for the lyrics everywhere!
i knew about deadmau5 before EMT but ive never heard this epic song, thx EMT

I'm glad some people actually know what dubstep is. :D
thanks villager, i needed that.
@HeyItsAjj every time i come here to listen to this track i hit this like button and i come here like 5 times a day
He actually does electro house too, it even says so in the tags on some of his official songs, and articles tag him as a electro house producer.

I'm aware of it, but I just like how you actually put an effort and did it.

It's called fucking awesomeness

I like how you made me count to find out you were right :D

It's the second time when deadmau5 music is featured in EpicMealTime and they made you come here again !!
your thumbnail.. i shall never sleep again.
Love this song
I didn't say it was complicated math, nor that I can't do it. I just said i LIKED how he calculated it, that he actually put an effort to such thing.

this shits been stuck in my head for days
I was told to play this at the same time as animal rights by DeadMau5 and it actually sounds really good played together
it's impossible to listen to this at a low voice.... I have to tune up the music every time I hear this!
Love this song. :D
i love this song :D
jeez this is so much better then the original version
Got Suspended from school thanks to this song- totally worth it!!
dude our free running video has this amazing song in it :)
only did mild research to confirm, thank you for correcting me though. I do not like being ignorant about things, as I dislike ignorance.
3:20

That 480p Bass...Eargasm
God my head went numb at 4:00
Cthulhu sleeps, then he dreams! Guessing the last installment will be Cthulhu wakes..? Cthulhu dreams got brough out today and is amazing!
One of the most underrated Deadmau5 songs. So tight, and at a good length. Haha, tight, length. Contradictory?
Awesome
When Cthulhu rises from the sea on 12/21/12 and devours us all, I'll make sure to have this song playing
Found your comment again. Already Subscribed. ^.^
The magnets in my earphones can't handle the bass, it's too powerful. XD
I like how you counted all the times he said it to be precise, I know you did cause I did it too >.>
The irony being that it is impossible, even for the ineffable Cthulhu, to sleep during this song.
YOUR LORD CTHULHU DEMANDS YOU DANCE.
I came here by myself because Deadmau5 is the man!
You do have a pair of wide open ears.:))).It is like bubbles coming out and flying in the SPACEZZZ....:)
I remember when this vid had 300 views. I'm pretty sure about 7,000 of these views are from me. This song is my shit
same! XD
Epic Meal Time brings u over here !
4:01 the time when you get up on the table in slow motion to make your speech and say your thanks to get everyone ready for 5:25
Can't wait to play this in my car.
@XxTheUrbanLifexX no, it's from his live set, the album version is the newest.
i here "the poop on-a-mon" in a mans voice!!! what the heck!! and i am not tired, stoned, drugged, drunk, or anything like that. I KNOW I HERE IT!!!!!
lol fek off bender
I had an ear infection a few weeks ago and in the process of getting it treated, docs discovered my hearing has been slightly damaged. I BLAME THE MAU5!
came for the epic meal time, stayed for the epic music time.
This song is totally like a boss
@InsertSarcasmHere Does it matter where you heard of Deadmau5 for the first time? As long as your enjoying his awesome music, it's all good!
@jshwan1997 C'thulhu is an old one(or old god) from the book of the dead(necronomicon) though originaly its from the lovecraft books.

@Hr75 Dont get mad. Just be glad his music is spreading and others can now appreciate it.
