I can't think of a better way of welcoming in the spring. You'll be
forwarding this I can almost guarantee. Thanks to my daughter Annie for
alerting me to this joyous song.
NOTE: Coulton also writes and performs those animated segments on THE GOOD FIGHT that are absolutely brilliant.
Welcoming in spring? It's been spring for almost three months!!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed his music for years. He covers the gamut:

He's got one about kids, called "You Ruined my Life". He's great, saw him with Aimee Mann
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you're aware of how Jonathan Coulton got involved with The Good Fight.
ReplyDeleteThe series Glee used Coulton's radical re-arrangement of "Baby's Got Back" into a ballad without asking permission. Turns out legally, arrangements can't be copyrighted, so Coulton should have been without a case.
But in a twist worthy of The Good Wife, Glee not only stole the arrangement, they stole the actual recording from the instrumental version Coulton released. He was able to prove it because of a duck call that was in the background that Glee didn't bother to erase.
They settled out of court.
The twist was so good that it actually became the basis of a Good Wife episode.
This video is even funnier with subtitles turned on.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know about THE GOOD FIGHT because it's on stupid CBS All Access.
ReplyDeleteJust one word, Jonathan: Enunciation.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the episode 'Frasier Gotta Have It'I was curious about Lisa Edelstein's credits prior to that episode. (I remembered that she was in a Mad About You episode) I noticed that before appearing on that Frasier ,and years before 'House', she appeared on several episodes of 'Almost Perfect'. Were you involved in casting her in AP? Were you or David working on FRASIER when that episode came up? Did you like her work on The Kominsky Method?
