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.
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.
