The Secret story in Jonathan Coulton’s music
As I listen to the fine music of Jonathan I begin to see a pattern. Has he hidden a story in the songs? We just have to arrange them in the correct order to see it. I have listed, in order, the songs I think show the secret story.
That spells DNA – Planning his (re)birth
Skullcrusher mountain – Dad and mom meet for the first time.
Womb with a view – His first memory
Stroller town – He had a fine childhood, beach boy style.
Summers over – School was a trying time
Millionaire girlfriend – Looking for love in any place that he won’t have to work.
Code monkey – He finally found love at work
My Monkey – The courtship.
Betty and me – Married at last.
See you in hell – The kids are here!
Re:your brains – The zombies showed up, who knew!
Chiron beta prime – the robots showed up?
Podsafe Christmas music – Escaped and made it back home in time for Christmas
Take care of me – The beginning of the end
You ruined everything – The divorce, it was a amicable one
Ikea – living alone
Kenesau Mountain Landis – Meets a relative at the ball game, an uncle I think.
The Presidents – He gets politically minded
Creepy Doll – Moved to a rural town
Furry old lobster – A rural town on the coast
Drinking with you – Getting the blues about it all
Curl – His favorite sport
Resolutions – Recovery begins
Still Alive – Well,
We will rock you -
We are the champions – He’s back!
What do you think, a secret hidden story or just a coincidence?
