Squidbillies is an animated television series about the Cuylers, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly squids living in the Appalachian region of Georgia's mountains. The show is produced by Williams Street Studios for the Adult Swim programming block of Cartoon Network and premiered on October 16, 2005. It is written by Dave Willis, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Jim Fortier, previously of The Brak Show, both of whom worked on the Adult Swim series Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The animation is done by Radical Axis, with background design by Ben Prisk.
Squidbillies follows the exploits of the Cuyler family and their interactions with the local populace, which usually results in a fair amount of destruction, mutilation, and death. The Cuylers are essentially given a free reign and protected from the consequences of their actions whenever possible by the Sheriff, as they are said to be the last, twisted remnants of a federally protected endangered species, the "Appalachian Mud Squid". They live in the southern Appalachian Mountains located in northern Georgia. At the epicenter of this rural paradise is Dougal County, home to crippling gambling addictions, murderous corporations, sexual deviants, and the authentic southern mountain squid.
There was a time
When you were everything to me and more
You set me free
I didn't want to let go that's for sure
I wait by the phone at night and I long to hear your voice
Are you all right
I know there's no turning back but I can't go on
I must let go
Chorus:
Say Goodbye
To all the memories
We shared just you and me
You'll always be in my heart
I close my eyes
And slowly feel the tears begin to fall
I don't know why
You played me like a fool left me alone
I wake from my dreams at night and the darkness fills my heart
I'm not alright
I know there's no turning back, but I can't go on
I must let go
Chorus (till end)
