The butterflies carry over the mushroom that has the words, "SAUNA 13" on it, and out pops some naked babies into the river the mermaid is in. they dance around on the mushroom and the Mermaid juggles one of them while just holding another in her left hand. then Kerli walks more while a house with legs runs by her with an old woman chasing it with a sign in her hand.

Then the house with legs sits down by them and the old lady puts the sign next to it which spins around and says "SOLD" then Kerli walks away and up and over a house, then Kerli hops into a ditch a frog fell into and helps him out, then the one-eyed frog balls-up and rolls away. Kerli shrinks and bows her head. The butterfly flutters overhead and Kerli grows diamond wings and flutters away with the butterfly and the camera zooms out and shows the whole of Estonia.

Composition

The demo version, Freakshow, was leaked along with a large amount of similar demos on November 2, 2012. The song's bridge features the Estonian nursery rhyme Põdral maja, a folk song. Kerli sings this during the bridge of Creepshow. Nursery rhyme:

Põdral maja metsa sees
Väiksest aknast välja vaatab
Jänes jookseb kõigest väest
Lävel seisma jääb
Kopp-kopp lahti tee
Metsas kuri jahimees
Jänes tuppa tule sa
Anna käppa ka

English translation:

A reindeer has a little house in the forest
He's looking out from a small window
The rabbit is running towards the house
And he stops in the doorway
Knock-knock, open up
There's an evil hunter in the forest
The reindeer says to the rabbit
Come inside and shake my hand

Music video

The Sun becomes the Moon and the video moves onto Kerli as she jumps down from a diamond, Looking at a butterfly fluttering around. She starts walking past a cave with a monster inside who cheers up as she walks past and a mushroom, more naked children, then comes up to a little man jumping up and down in anger, then she kisses the frog below him and it becomes three naked girls and the man cheers up as Kerli moves onto a topless mermaid, Kerli gets on her knees and plants a flower that blooms quickly, becoming five butterflies. The butterflies carry over the mushroom that has the words, "SAUNA 13" on it, and out pops some naked babies into the river the mermaid is in. they dance around on the mushroom and the Mermaid juggles one of them while just holding another in her left hand. then Kerli walks more while a house with legs runs by her with an old woman chasing it with a sign in her hand. Then we see an old man try to free his bread from underneath a turtle. Kerli comes up to the man and brushes the turtle's back, making it light up and move for them. We see the diamond right as she walks away from them again. Kerli looks up to see the butterfly again then walks upto a man with a music box, he has a wooden leg and no left arm, then Kerli strokes his face and he grows his arm back as the wooden leg grows leaves, he winds the box and curtains open portraying the rhyme that fills in the bridge of the song, a moose pops out from the window of his house, then goes back in and a bunny hops by and knocks twice on the house, the moose pops up as the hunter does in the background, pointing his gun around, then the moose lets the bunny in. Then the house with legs sits down by them and the old lady puts the sign next to it which spins around and says "SOLD" then Kerli walks away and up and over a house, then Kerli hops into a ditch a frog fell into and helps him out, then the one-eyed frog balls-up and rolls away. Kerli shrinks and bows her head. The butterfly flutters overhead and Kerli grows diamond wings and flutters away with the butterfly and the camera zooms out and shows the whole of Estonia.
