I thought I had already posted on this, but apparently I simple shared the news with friends via e-mail.
Jonathon Coulton is funny.
My first experience with him was the song that GlaDOS sings at the end of "Portal". I went looking for more of his stuff, and found quite a bit.
For one year, he did a Podcast called "Thing a Week" where he did a new song each week. Lots of them are good, but he averaged one really great one each quarter.
An a capella version of "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions"
A song from an office zombie "re: Your Brains"
A programmer's lament "Code Monkey"
A great mash-up of the Beatles and Chicago "When I'm 25 or 64"
He has other songs and albums out as well. "IKEA" is a giggle-worthy.
So check it out. "Thing-A-Week" may still be available on iTunes. Just search for Jonathon Coulton.

Sorry for the late comment, but Jonathan Coulton was on John Hodgman's book tour for Areas of my Expertise. He was great as was, of course, John Hodgman.
