This guy has the best lyrics out there, from code monkey to bacteria. Laugh" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

My Favorite

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
I see you've met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he's harmless enough
He's a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

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?

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet

Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here

You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I've been patient, I've been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you

I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet

Quiero y no quiero querer a quien no queriendo quiero; he querido sin querer, y estoy sin querer queriendo. Si porque te quiero me quieres, quieres que te quiera más...te quiero porque me quieres, ¿que más quieres?¿quieres más?...¡Te quiero!

The cake is a lie.

My roommate had me listen to his original Thing a Week a couple of years ago and it's been pure affection ever since. We occasionally break out into "Re: Your Brains" when we're especially tired.

"I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am"

Also: Coulton performed for Ze Frank at one time, doing covers of all of Ze's various songs

(At first I thought this was a thread for Jonathan Richman and I was equally excited)

Yay, JoCo! :3

Anyone else download and listen to the recording of the show he did of him (with a little help from Paul & Storm) performing They Might Be Giants' album "Flood" in it's entirety? Very awesome stuff.

LOVE LOVE LOVE JoCo! I saw him at the Aladdin in January, next to the obvious **coughokgocough** it was the best concert I've ever been to :)
