Music Sunday: Valentine's Edition

Johnathan Coulton: "Skullcrusher Mountain"
mp3 Album: Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow

YouTube music video (Warcraft machinima) / mp3
 

I equate Johnathan Coulton with They Might Be Giants. Both bands write very odd, whimsical songs. The songs usually sound happy although the lyrics might in fact be quite strange and dark.

I posted this song for Valentine's (St. Zeno's) Day because it is a love song...of sorts. It tells of the unrequited love of a mad scientist who only wants his girlfriend to like him for who he is. I hope you enjoy this and that you have better luck with your Valentine than the protagonist of this song does. If you like this song, you can also download it for the video game Rock Band. He also wrote the song that plays at the end of the awesome video game, Portal.
