Gruntilda's Lair. Wow. I looked it up, and up pops The Teddy Bear's Picnic, written by Henry Hall in 1932. School kids would sing a rude version back in the day. They probably still do, or at least I hope they do.

Gruntilda's Lair was created by Grant Kirkhope, right? I think he has done a great job in bringing out the sinister tones. But the original was not lame either.

Good spot!

Spoiler for Lyrics for Gruntilda's Lair / Teddy Bear's Picnic: If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic Every teddy bear who's been good is sure of a treat today There's lots of marvelous things to eat and wonderful games to play Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll hide and seek as long as they please That's the way the teddy bears have their picnic Picnic time for teddy bears The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unawares And see them picnic on their holiday See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout They never have any cares At six o'clock their mummies and daddies Will take them back home to bed 'Cause they're tired little teddy bears If you go down in the woods today, you'd better not go alone It's lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
