31 Days of "Spooky" Music Day 21: Creepy Doll

      Yup, it's another piece by Jonathan Coulton, and it is also from one of this Thing-A-Week albums. It doesn't seem that long ago when he really was all over  the internet; I remember being exposed to his music shortly before he gained more mainstream fame for the Portal closing theme, "Still Alive".


     The song very nicely switches back and forth between creepy music box and rock guitar while telling the tale of your experience with the creepy doll that manages to be both unsettling and ridiculous ("The doll disapprovingly asks if you really need that much honey"). 


     I don't know if you could really dance to this one of not, but it's definitely a good trick or treat soundtrack item.
