Harryhausen was written for Ray Harryhausen, the genius movie monster maker, and was written as a drinking song for the fighting skeletons, the children of the hydra's teeth, from Jason and the Argonauts.
A tortadilla is a half tortoise/half armadillo originating in Phoenicia. The Phoenicians took them to Spain when they founded Cadiz, and then they arrived in England with the Spanish Armada (Drake didn't notice them land). They reside in East London.
