"Re: Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton performed in ZSL (Zombie Sign Language). This was definitely my most work-intensive video yet. I made the zombie costume from scratch specifically for this occasion, down to the fake blood and everything. Click "more info" for lyrics.

Heya Tom, its Bob from the office down the hall
HI I BOB, OFFICE HALL [location-mid] FROM-[there]
Good to see you buddy, howve you been?
GOOD SEE-[you] FRIEND, HOW ARE YOU?
Thing have been OK for me except that Im a zombie now
I GET-THROUGH OK, BUT I BECOME [ZOMBIE]
I really wish youd let us in
PAST I WISH YOU INVITE-[us]
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
I THINK WE AGREE WE UNDERSTAND
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
WHY YOU NOT WANT OBEY US
But heres an FYI: youre all gonna die screaming
BUT I SEND {FYI} FUTURE YOU-[all] DIE, SCREAM

All we want to do is eat your brains
WE WANT DO-WHAT? YOUR BRAIN EAT
Were not unreasonable, I mean,
WE NOT CRAZY,
No ones gonna eat your eyes
NOT EYES EAT
All we want to do is eat your brains
WE WANT DO-WHAT? YOUR BRAIN EAT
Were at an impasse here,
TWO-OF-US NOT GET-ALONG,
Maybe we should compromise:
MAYBE TWO-OF-US NEGOTIATE
If you open up the doors
IF YOU OPEN
Well all come inside and eat your brains
WE ENTER, YOUR BRAIN EAT

I dont want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
I KNOW I PICK-ON-[you] BUT YOUR PLAN WHAT?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
LIVE ALONE INSIDE MALL?
Maybe thats OK for now but someday
MAYBE OK NOW, BUT FUTURE
Youll be out of food and guns
GUN, FOOD FINISH
And then youll have to make the call
YOU MUST DECIDE
Im not surprised to see
I NOT SURPRISE
Wou havent thought it through enough
YOU NOT PONDER ENOUGH
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
PAST YOU NOT UNDERSTAND-ALL
But Tom, thats what I do,
BUT I UNDERSTAND,
And I plan on eating you slowly
PLAN EAT-[you] SLOW

[chorus]

Id like to help you Tom, in any way I can
TOM, I WANT HELP-[you]
I sure appreciate the way youre working with me
TWO-OF-US COOPERATE I APPRECIATE
Im not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I NOT MONSTER (pause) TRUE
I guess I am
YES

Ive got another meeting Tom,
HAVE MEETING,
Maybe we could wrap it up
MAYBE TWO-OF-US END
I know well get to common ground somehow
FUTURE TWO-OF-US AGREE
Meanwhile Ill report back to my colleagues
NOW I GO-TO FRIENDS,
Who were chewing on the doors
THEY DO-WHAT? DOOR CHEW
I guess well table this for now
TWO-OF-US POSTPONE THIS
Im glad to see you take constructive criticism well
MY CRITICIZE YOU ACCEPT
Thank you for your time I know were all busy as hell
YOUR ATTENTION THANK-YOU, WE BUSY
And well put this thing to bed
FUTURE THIS MELT-AWAY
When I bash your head open
WHEN I SMASH-[you]

[chorus]

    One day I'll memorize this completely, sing/sign this song aloud and accidentally scar a young deaf child for life.

    That fact that you included English captions AND the ASL gloss makes me terribly happy. :D

    This one is awesome, you really should do The Pirates that don't do anything by Relient, that would be a hoot in ASL.
