Jonathan Coulton (contributor to Popular Science magazine) wrote Skullcrusher Mountain about an evil genius in love. Quite melodic with a diabolical edge. Me likee. Me likee long time.

Enjoy.




I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
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?


Another personal favorite by JC is I Feel Fantastic, a ditty about a heavily-medicated life.

All I know is that steak tastes better
When I take my "Steak Tastes Better" pill

    Next time he comes through Texas, go see him. We saw him in Austin a few weeks ago, and I was blown away. It was the one of the best shows I've ever seen, right up there with a couple of Townes Van Zandt gigs and Tom Waits.

  3. Laughed my ass off!

    I think I like "I Feel Fantastic" a wee bit better, though.

  4. I found one that used Gogol Bordello.

    This is one of the cool things about visiting Fatal Abstraction, expanding my horizons in music.

  5. dba dude - glad you liked it

    james - dagnabbit - I WOULD find this guy two weeks after he blew through town - yeah, I'll definitely catch his clever show next time

    christina - Yeah, I like that one better, but I love the menacing evil genius, especially the lines
    I'm so into you
    but I'm way too smart for you.

    I know what that feels like
