   So, apparently this is a whole thing. The New York Times did an article on the guy who wrote this, and its part of his push to do a song a week as a professional singer/songwriter.

   Read the article.

   This is important to read for anybody who wants to go the indie route with their music.

   I actually like the song. If I had an extra $70, he’d be a guy to support by owning his library.

   Fight The Power!
   Damn The Man!

   (I mean record labels, not the police, or the IRS, or the government, or Homeland Security…)

   So, Jonathan Coulton, the guy who wrote this song, has become a huge phenom in the internet world, to the point where the new version of WordPress (a software platform with millions of installs) uses this song as the default example in their software, for how to upload and link audio in a blog post.

   It would be like Microsoft Word using the title of your book in their tutorial for how to format book titles.
