"They'll Claw You Open" is a song from the Every Ape and His Brother collection Morbid! The Horrendous Hobo!!!. It is a parody of Creed's song "With Arms Wide Open".
Overview
This song was written because of the ease of switching the theme, and also because of the ability to tweak a demon-like twist on Scott Stapp's voice. Instead of being about fatherhood, it's about a group of stranded ship's crew washed aboard a tropical island, and a graphic description of them being eaten by cannibals.

This song, while never performed live, has received three votes of all 5 stars in all three categories at AmIRight's website. [1] AmIRight user TJC even commented:
"Yikes! Good job and thanks for the Cannibal Lecture..." [2].Another user, The Charnstar, could only reply:
"Sounds painful...5-5-5..." [3]
