Emil just performed this the other night and absolutely brought down the house. The girl he sang it to was in tears. As I was walking away from Pleasure Island, I heard these two girls behind me going, "The robot army song was sooooo touching!"
he sang this song on May 23nd 2008... to my girl friend... while glaring at her for leaving him... for me. It was painfully hallarious. I couldnt hear everything I was laughing so hard so I'm so glad this is up so I can hear it all.
My favorite Emil! He does such a great job with this song. Does he only do this at Halloween? I'd love to see it in person. (I had to rush off and get a bunch of Jonathan Coulton songs after seeing this.)
Sounds a little awkward. But great that he sang that fantastic song. :D

Yes, it's an awesome song; and it's supposed to sound awkward -- that's part of the charm.

Awesome sauce! Jonathan Coulton, wherever you are (probably inside some sky castle in New York), you done good for the world.

A nice cover version of the song. Very Impressive! Emil captures the comedy, pathos and horror of it. Thanks for the posting.

Aw, why'd he change the song so much?
It was still cute with the little story at the begining and steampunk costume though. :)
