Mr. X

I really hope you like this video, as it's the only one like it you're ever going to see. (Read: all the stuff with the timing was a pain in the butt and I'm never doing that again.) Nonetheless, I kind of like how it turned out, so I hope some people out there enjoy it...

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during the recording of this particular song.

[Lycanthrope777]

I don't even want to think about that- it was probably a bunch of people who the 60s really weren't good to...

To everyone: sorry I've been so bad about responding to comments and uploading new videos. College is the swirling vortex that all time seems to get sucked into.

Because of my Birthday I was held back two years for kindergarten and I went through two rounds of the letter people except they were all different the second time

[Lycanthrope777]

Did this happen sometime in the 90s? If so, that would make sense- a new version of the Letter People was created at that point in time, and it sounds like your second year of kindergarten happened to be the same year your school switched to the new version. (Different schools did this in different years; I was in kindergarten in 95 and we still used the original, but some schools switched as early as 91.)

Poor Mr. X. He seems to think he's an abomination.

Sounds like he's having an eXistential crisis.

WRONG!!! ALL WRONG!!!

Hah I remember the Letter People. Can't say I remember this though.

[beyondthesevoices]

I've been haunted by this song my entire life

@egdeltur666 I'm kinda glad I missed the Letter People. I was in Kindergarten around 1995...

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@Acevmk1fan4ever What kind of ass-backwards school holds you back for *two years* in Kindergarten just because of when your Birthday falls?

[kmoodyblues]

[Windrays]

GOD DAMN. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

[egdeltur666]

@Lycanthrope777 Well, I was in kindergarten in 92 or so and I don't remember any songs like this or whatever.

I DO remember little inflatible letter people, though the Mr. X shown here only seems vaguely familiar... it seems like it should be the same one, but I can't be certain.

At any rate, I certainly don't remember my letter people being anywhere near as filled with nightmare fuel.

You're linked to on tv tropes, by the way.

I think if I knew of this song when I was a kid, I would've used it as me own theme song...

"I am made all wrong, where do I belong"

I wonder how many other people besides me believed themselves to be like that in elementary school

X...X...EX-TER-MI-NATE!!!

$5 says this is what The Daleks Learn in elementary school.
