Jonathan-Coulton - Smoking Monkey
The Genesis Of That Was I Was Driving Home From An IKEA And I’d Just Bought An Ingo Table.
Jinx So What Was It Like To Sing It At 6 30 In The Morning At The Opening Of The Red Hook/Brooklyn IKEA On June 18 2008 ?
I Mean… It’s Terrible To Sing Anything At 6 30 In The Morning.
Yeah It Was.. It Was Fine. There Were A Few People Who Were Paying Attention And Who Seemed To Like It. You Know I Don’t Know. It Was Such A Weird Crowd.
Jinx You Were Singing It To The Line In The Parking Lot?
Yeah Singing To The Line In The Parking Lot And Some People Had Been Camping Out For Days To Get Into The IKEA.
Bry If They’d Opened Up The Store They Could Have Furnished Their Tents. I Mean Was It Just… You Show Up Sing Your Song And Then…
I Did About Four Or Five Songs. And They Had A Whole String Of Entertainers That Morning.
Jinx And You Were Playing Outside Rather Than Over The PA…?
Yeah.
