Wedding Night on Skullcrusher Mountain - piano

Continuing my unprovoked attack on the hits of Jonathan Coulton, here is Skullcrusher Mountain. Mea culpa.

The key in the second verse is of course D half-pony half-monkey, and yeah, maybe I used too many pedal points. But isn't it enough to know I ruined a pop song making this video for you?

JoCo's original is at http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/Skullcrusher%20Mountain, and if you're not yet a fan of his evil genius, you should be.

Thanks for another impressive JC cover! If you don't mind and unearned suggestion..."Make You Cry" could sound pretty on piano.

[BorbaSpinotti]

Sorry, it was rude of me not to respond to that immediately. I will definitely take you up on the suggestion - maybe two or three down the queue. Been listening to TAW4 a lot this week, and Make You Cry is definitely a favorite.

Edric Haleen was the first to get all three: Grieg's "Wedding day at Troldhaugen" and "In the hall of the mountain king" as well as Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain".

Here's something new: The first person to identify the three classical pieces quoted (name and composer) gets to pick any JoCo original that I *have* to record. Deal?

You should record these and put them available for mp3 download or something! AMAZING!!!! XD

[chiphimjo]

If I got sheet music for this song, or any of JoCo's others, I think I could die a happy man. Despite being a music major, I'm sadly not very good at hearing songs and then playing them myself...

[Wolfe28]

This is fantastic! I've been listening to your piano renditions for a while now. Is there any chance you could share the sheet music? Or do you work from memory? Either way, keep it up!

[DracoAvian]

100% of people like your video. And for good reason! You are fantastic!

[millymu123]

omg you made this song 100x better for me and this is like one of my favorite songs!! thanks I'll make sure to show everyone :D

[leighdf]

This is an amazing fusion, as usual. I often think to myself, why do a cover if you're not going to bring something new to the song? Well, you've ALWAYS got a great new twist, and you make it look so easy! Kudos!

[RockingJamboree]

This cover is definitely TMA!
