Skullcrusher Mountain (cover)

This is my take on Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathon Coulton. I took a few liberties with the song in places, mostly because I couldn't remember exactly how it went, but it works okay. I also tried moving my face more, which was a fun experiment. Let me know what you think!

Here's the tab I used to learn this song: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/j/jonathan_coulton/skullcrusher_mountain_crd.htm

Here are the lyrics, approximately: (If you've never heard the song before, it might be more fun just to listen!)

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 a 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 a 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 lead their foolish lives
Will find it quite... explosive.
Well, it won't mean half as much to me
If I don't have you here...

You know it's not easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain.
So 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 a 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...
