THE END OF THE LINE | The Stupendium & Dan Bull | Choo-Choo Charles Song!
 Lossless
5,416,002 Views • Mar 17, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
On the remote island of Aranearum something has awoken... Part beast, part locomotive, Charles has arisen and the rails aren't safe. Where did he come from? Why is he here? What will this do to the price of an off-peak commuter season ticket?
These are the questions you must answer. Summoned to the island as a famed monster hunter, the islanders need you to take Charles down. But Charles isn’t your only problem…

Certain islanders think the best way to keep Charles from eating them is to make sure Charles never goes hungry…
Here we go! First big production video of the year! And an absolute blast to get to work with Dan again on a big, fun, spooky collab!

And before you say anything, I know the game is really just an industrial railway but for the purposes of this video let’s imagine it also features a small passenger line. We had access to a beautiful little heritage railway station so were we NOT gonna use it?
Lots of firsts on this project! CG environment extension! 3D printing! Exciting to explore new processes to help grow even larger projects going forwards! A huge thank you to the entire team who helped put this together. My on-set and behind the scenes crew, the various CG artists who worked on this with me, this project couldn’t have happened with you all! And the same goes for every one of my patrons, thank you all too for making this project possible!

Lots more cool things on the way this year! Stay tuned!

BE SURE TO WATCH DAN'S ALTERNATE VERSION TOO FOR NEW SCENES! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pTDB1vJW8 LYRICS: INTRO Sleeping deep beneath the sleepers of the isle There’s a demon creature dreaming, heathen and reviled Sees no rhyme or reason but for feasting when he’s riled Better let him be, lest you are sure to see the smile Of sixteen tonnes of scurrying death Smouldering souls through funnel of red With a pick-like grin on the front of his head Sat atop a most illogical number of legs VERSE 1 Tickets, please! Let me tell you the tale Of a wicked beast, that’ll follow your trail Through the valleys and vales, on your tail day and night There’ll be chaos on the rails when the railway strikes Stop, take stock, try to gauge the situation ‘Fraid your train has been derailed, there’s no use waiting in the station Every engine’s been dismantled, there’s no other service coming Charles is leading by example, he’s the only train that’s running All in all, we're in a doozy of a mess So, all aboard the WTF express Should you want to stay safe, then I wouldn’t play games Or you’ll learn another way of saying, “Run away! TRAIN!” CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you VERSE 2 For certain worse than what they say to mind the gap for The train’s not just cancelled, it’s damn well deplatformed Since it scampered off the tracks to find a snack from off your back lawn Couple jackdaws and your cat and then your dad from off the back porch He’s hungry and he’s hunting down the islanders With a side of any siding-hiding bystanders Quite queer what his dietary requirements are But it’s pretty clear regardless he’s a dining car Coke? Coal? Petroleum? Alone they’ll never do No, this engine sends the scent of rendered flesh out from the flue On this service we’ll be serving something rather more unnerving Chugga-chugging on blood as he chew-chews you It’s all true, choo-choos consume fuel too Humans are a whole new consumable and whole food Gluten free range and more renewable than coal too So, who to choose to chew to this tune? Ooh, you’ll do CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see Charlie If we sate your lust for flesh on which to feed Charlie Will you promise to eat them instead of me? There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you MIDDLE 8 Engine, engine number nine On the Aranearum mining line If your train comes off the track Better run, better run, or you won’t come back VERSE 3 Hey, guess who! This is déjà vu Like HS2, you’ll be railed right through Penetrated in the vein of a mainline route When we come, well then, we’re gonna run a train on you You might say we’ve got a loco motive To provide the train with a load of groceries Locally sourced from the local folk, dear Granny’s s’posed to host, although she’s toast when the smoke clears The el choo-choopacabara, the beast come to dine And it’s far worse than leaves that he leaves on the line You’ll see when he feasts in the deep of the night By the pieces of people-y debris left behind Riding off-peak? Don’t be ridiculous The worth of your season ticket is Quickly diminishing with every pillock We’re feeding into his gleaming scissorous teeth But if we seem insidious We’re just uneasy villagers Seeking to keep the most hideous beast We unleashed from committing the deed of killing us If killing a priest, a vicar, a grocer or postman or three is villainous? Well, what’s it to me? You probably see the feast is imminent Keep on screaming, pump the bellows, he’ll be drawn to your duress Charlie loves a little murder on the goriest express You can ruminate on whether there’s a certain train near Or pray that it’s a rumour made to circulate fear But in case you didn’t hear then I better make clear This train terminates here CHORUS Every life has a light in the tunnel ahead But you might just find that behind it instead Of a heaven is an engine and the devil inbred And we’re next on the menu if we’ve left him unfed Charlie Your timetable says it’s almost time for tea Charlie And we’ve laid on quite a spread, as you can see Charlie If we sate your lust for flesh on which to feed Charlie Will you promise to eat them instead of me? There’s a choo-choo train Coming after you Food chain’s Gone a bit askew Won’t catch that train If it’s gonna catch you

Honestly, to see Charles being spoiled like this with an actual railroad location, fully detailed costumes, and an ACTUAL TRAIN??! You are criminally underrated, man! If I haven't said that enough times already.

The fact this had a intro scene as if it was a movie or video game cutscene is absolutely incredible

"this train terminates here" is the kind of line a cheesy villain would say before rapidly running backwards into darkness while laughing maniacally

The fact that Stupes and Dan had to do 50% of the acting blind because of the freaky masks and still did it better than I could do while seeing with both eyes feels criminal

I love how every stupendium song that’s released I start off thinking it’s good and then it slowly grows to be the only thing I listen to for a month.

Stupendium’s production value is finally getting CLOSE to matching the quality of their songs. It’s truly a speacial thing to watch an artist you’ve watched since the beginning finally get what they deserve. Love you, Stupes.

'Sixteen tons of scurrying death' is my favorite way of describing Choo-Choo Charles. I look forward to watching all of your musical dreams come true this year!

God, the chemistry between Stupes and Dan is INCREDIBLE! In every scene it's clear y'all are having an incredible time and constantly playing off eachother's zaniness!

"You might say we've got a loco-motive..." I'm floored. The amount of puns you guys do while still making amazing music is truly astounding! Kudos to you all, another amazing song I'll be listening to for a long time, looking forward to the next one 👍

That was such a good use of Sixteen Tons as a reference. Your ability to keep the rhyming scheme while making it about a killer spider train is just beautiful.

My thanks goes to the unknown passenger for his sacrifice to make Charlie a happy murder-locomotive and thus sparing our most precious Stupes and Dan. You will always be remembered as saviour of musical greatness. Bless you.

"Charles is the only train that's running." Yeah. Running. That dad joke will get you sent straight to hell, Stupes <3 And, the lines at 1:50 where they just rhyme so smoothly is incredible

fun fact i don't know if this was intentional or not but at the part where he says "If this train doesn't get here in the next five minutes i should go absolutely mad" if you go forward exactly 5 mins Charles is there so he never went mad after all

The fact that you built a train from the game is absolutely sending me off the rails. The song itself has my engines fired up and rearing to go full speed. Like, G-jeez dude, your productions keep making me more and more envious! Beautiful as a Mallard my guy, sharing this to the group chat (yet again)

Well, can’t say I was expecting this, but I’m glad to have another Stupendium song, especially with Danbull helping out. What an absolute fever dream of a song about a fever dream!

Dan really embodies the deranged railroad engineer vibe, it's beautiful. Stupes is like if the cog-in-the-wheel bureaucrat from The Fine Print worked for a crooked maniacal mining magnate and ended up getting a few loose screws along the way Great stuff as always!
