Song of the Furry Old Lobster
1st October 2020
By Jonathan Coulton.
Sing Hey Hidey Ho, where’d the Old Lobster go?
With its body so furry and broun?
Sing Ho Hidey Hey, have they all gone away?
‘Cause we haven’t seen any around…
One cannot mourn without music. (Well, you can, but it’s pretty lame.).
Jonathan Coulton is the only composer now living who accurately captures the life experience of some of us. I particularly recommend his works Code Monkey and Shop Vac and IKEA, which speak to the heart of modern life.
