Johnathan Coulton is a little bit my heart. After hearing him on The Sound of Young America with self-proclaimed America's radio sweetheart Jesse Thorn I can't get enough. His comedic lyrics, and upbeat stylings give me an incredible joy. I hope you agree and visit his site. Here be some examples he has up on his website:
Creepy Doll - Reminds me of a Stephen King novel. I am frightened, yet intrigued. The predictable horror genre is one that seems oddly comfortable. You will see what I mean. Also do I detect tones of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey?
Shop Vac - The sad thing about this song is how true it is. Sort of like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty only sadder? Because I actually feel like I know this person. Or at least he is three childhood friend's fathers...not literally (just his personality).
The Town Crotch - Hilarious, and reminds me so much of my home town. It makes me really nostalgic actually.
I Feel Fantastic - This is how I feel daily. Working three jobs, having to be "on" all the time dealing with people. I love it, no pills involved. But don't you sometimes wish that it was as easy as a pill?
Go to his site he seems awesome and you can listen to ALL his songs.
