Here we have a song that seems like it was made for Hellsing: the very appropriate “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by REM. Again Volume 7 spoiler warning! (Geez, writing this took forever…)

Just in, it starts with a zeppelin,
stolen boat that Rip was on (till Alucard did her in)
Sharpshooter opera buff, thought that she was so tough,
world serves its own needs, Nazis serve their own needs
Play among the dead, die, fear, no, strength, gone

Glasses start to shatter with blood drink don’t think
Admirals in England, representing armies strong
In a government that’s frightened in the long dark night
Off the coast and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing
down
your
neck–

One by one civilians baffled, chomped eaten drunk look at that bright light
Blown
Up
Uh-oh, overflow, vampire Nazis, silver shots and we need lots
Save yourself, serve yoruself, shot served Zorin’s need, listen to my heart bleed, dummy
With the tattoos and invaders, and the eye, eye
You drink my blood and take me in and slash, fight, big scythe,
feeling
pretty
psyched–

It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

Driving home — grab a rifle, take the shot and be a sniper,
Aim and go, reload, thru the moving window,
Stopping short, then turning, tried fighting, wires catching
Nervous tension escalates, auto takes another way
Give an order, give an order–
Maxwell
Maxwell

Watch your army crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means
Gone mad, that’s bad, Alex please rebel fast
A battle fought a battle lost, a battle still to come
Shoot me if you’re gonna, otherwise give me a light
and walk
me
home!

(It’s time I had some time alone)

It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of war, coming back to London for
All of my restrictions go
Level Zero
Ccaptain Hans Günsche, Catholic soldiers, Major Max
Fighting, winning, bloodshed, Sir Hellsing, bow!
You’re my master give an order, kill them all,
right?
Right!

It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

Okay, this one isn’t actually CTY canon…but it’s by They Might Be Giants, so it might as well be. The song is “New York City.” Again, Volume 7 spoiler warning!

I called you last week on the telephone
And you were glad to hear from me (but didn’t want it known)
You said, “Go out thru the front door! Kill those who would stop you.”
Now I cross the ocean who fight vampires and to help you

We met in your basement in a locked-up old cell
You were just a girl then, but a tough one, I could tell
You sent me to battle in the middle of the night
I crashed a plane, I beat Rip, it was the best night of my life

‘Cause everyone’s undead
In London, England
And all the town will be destroyed
When we’re through with things, and
The streets are paved with bodies
And there’s just so much to do
But the best thing about London, England is
Me and you

Alex Anderson, Captain Hans Günsche, that mad Major, Butler (who was Walter)
Tubalcain, Rip also, and shadows from longer ago
Catholic knights and lots of ghouls, noble Sir Integra (and she’s so cool…)

You told me to come back, just the other day–
Said, “The war is on us now, and you need to join the fray–”
I steered the boat, began to gloat — at last it’s gone this far
I’m two hours from London, England and I’m two hours from war

‘Cause everyone’s undead
In London, England
And all the town will be destroyed
When we’re through with things, and
The streets are paved with bodies
And there’s just so much to do
But the best thing about London, England is
Me and you
