Jonathan Coulton - "Mr. Fancy Pants" live at PAX 09 (HD)

The background here is that Jonathan Coulton decided a few years ago to release a new 'thing" each week, but eventually started to run out of ideas and one of the songs he came up with "Mr. Fancy Pants" because it was all he could come up with that week. It ended up being a little over a minute long, which isn't good for a live performance so he got a Zendrum to help him stretch the length a bit :) This performance is from PAX 2009 on September 5, 2009. Oh, and he had to bring out the laptop because his iPod ran out of power.

If you liked the song, please support him!

?????? #2 (6:45)

Anyone know what the last 2 songs he uses are?

[Eptiger]

I (seriously) love that you knew all the obscure songs that I actually didn't know but missed the song that plagues my radio :)

At 6:11 it's "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. Great job on the others!

[Vadergeek]

Woah! Particle Man. He's a pretty good TMBG fan, which is yet another medal for his Nerd King collection. Impressive.

[RosieHidesHere]

@onlynamestillavailab 6:45 is We Are The World by Michael Jackson.

Cudos to you man, I couldnt get the 3 after Mr. Fancy Pants

@Vadergeek Mario was what more people liked, TBH I liked particle man a lot :)

[SchoolhouseTechno]

As I watch this again nerds just can't pull off synchronized hand waving...it always looks like a bunch of zombies waving their arms...which is ok for some songs...but not that one.

[NinjaMarshmallows]

Holy crap. I know both of the guys in the left and right hand bottom corners. I happened to be somewhere else due to Mana Potion overdose. God that sucked. I didn't get to see the entire encore because i felt as though i would throw up if i didn't get some water ASAP. This was most likely my favorite part of the entire damn show.
