One of the episodes was about the Parlangua. I had thought it was just a great, creepy song.įast forward to last year and the television show Beasts of the Bayou. They seemed to become tense and after the song told me of a run in they had at a rest area with the thing.

Years later, I was living in Gulfport, Mississippi when I played the song to someone I knew. I thought it was interesting but thought nothing more of it. The song was about a swamp monster and how the singer goes out to kill it for killing his father and brother. It was called, “ The Legend of The Parlangua” by a band I had never heard of called Cahoots. A friend of mine told me he had a song he wanted me to hear.

In 1987, I was 14 years old and living in Rapides Parish, Louisiana.
