Skullcrusher Mountain

by Jonathan Coulton

on Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow

in Alternative, Folk Rock

Another of those great JoCo songs that is just as funny as it is heartbreaking. Ostensibly, this is a song about some arch-villain in his lair, but it could just as easily describe the social frustrations of teenage geeks anywhere. "If you could find a way to be a little bit less afraid of me." Amen to that. If only I could package up this song and send it to myself 20 years ago.
