Singer/songwriter Jonathan Coulton was previously featured on Neatorama a year ago for his zombie song "Re: Your Brains."
But I'm a softie for romantic ballads, such as Coulton's sweet but sad tale of unrequited love between a mad scientist and a kidnapped damsel, titled "Skullcrusher Mountain."
Especially moving are the heartfelt lyrics of the second verse:
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Sheesh. Some women are just never happy, no matter how many abominations against nature that you clone for them.
Now, we our married. "Skullcrusher Mountain" was the song for the first dance at our wedding.
If you think this is too geeky, we'd like to introduce you to our assistant, Scarface.
Here's the World of Warcraft version of the same song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ryNJVreiY
Also, does anyone else have the problem of immediately getting 'Ikea' stuck in their heads whenever they enter or drive by one of those massive stores?
Happens every time with me.
