Skullcrusher Mountain
2005-05-20
I'll be back with a real entry later, but for now I want to institute a new feature of my diary [this may not be permanent--I need to see how it goes/how lazy I am]: The song of the day. Today's song is Skullcrusher Mountain, by Jonathan Coulton. It can be listened to/downloaded at Fluxblog (it's about halfway down the page), and the reason it's the song of today is it made me laugh last night when I listened to it, and the tune is catchy--the song is stuck in my head. Here are the lyrics (from Jonathan Coulton's website):
Skullcrusher Mountain
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 |
