1) Skullcrusher Mountain- Jonathan Coulton 9-12-07

Jonathan Coulton at Paul Gleason Theater 9-12-07

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 some 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 some 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 live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here

You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
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 some 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 yet

9/12/07, six years and one day after... 9/11! Coincidence? I think not.

[Gle3nn]

Funny thing is the address on the ticket was wrong. When I got there, there was a hole in the ground where a building had been. My first thought was, Crap, L.A. got hit too?

[Dracowrath1]

@Gle3nn That's, really not funny.

[Gle3nn]

@Dracowrath1 True. not funny haha. Odd maybe. We were actually nervous for a few minutes.

[Evanmileus]

I wish i could sing as good as JoCo.

Btw hes got on a tshirt on that says hes a piracy supporter. Now i wont feel bad if i torrent his stuff. Im a poor teenager, i would pay if I could....

[elrapido5150]

They should make him a national hero.

[destroy888]

Of course he's Jesus. How else could he make a Monkey Pony Monster?

[tbarbdrills]

A guy in my drama class once sung this song for the class and ... IT WAS AWESOME. Rock on JoCo

[Dracowrath1]

@tle123rox I wasn't aware 9/11 happened every other month, I'm so terribly sorry good sir.

[tle123rox]

@Dracowrath1 But it's not laughing at the attack itself! He is just making a sarcastic remark that made me giggle. Also, You Americans go on and on about 9/11 (which don't get me wrong, it is a tragedy) but no one bats an eyelid when there is a bombing in the UK or when the jews destroy many Muslim villages due to believing in a different faith. Tell me now who the sick individuals are.

[Dracowrath1]

@tle123rox So it's ok to laugh at a national tragedy as long as you're not directly linked to it? You sad, sick individual...

[tle123rox]

@Dracowrath1 Again, like I said, if you or your family were effected than I can understand but honestly, I found what he said pretty funny.

[Dracowrath1]

@tle123rox I have a sense of humor. But there are certain subjects which are never going to be funny.

[tle123rox]

@Dracowrath1 Come on, have a sense a humor....unless you or your family was effected then, I'll understand.

[InFlameProductions]

is that an adapose on his shirt?

[S0ggyNachos]

I was listening to this song with my neighbor girl one night, and I don't know what it is about this song, but we started making out.....crazy. JoCo is THE man!!!

[MidGroundInertia]

I really want to slow dance to this song.
