The original is amazing.

[andrewducker]

Oh yes, no argument there. I just wasn't expecting a cover version of it to be so different and work so well.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah.

Whatever it was that you linked to is friends-locked.

I wonder how it is that one becomes friends with james_nicoll?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Friend me.

But I unlocked it. Experiment was over.

[andrewducker]

Unlocked now.

His covers are great. That was the first one I heard, but I poked through several of the others when I came across this a couple months back, and most of the rest are just as good!

Just in case anyone hasn't heard Jonathan Coulton's cover of Baby got Back. There was a video on Youtube a while ago which synched the original video with the Coulton sound, but annoyingly it got pulled for copyright violation pretty quickly.
