[url=http://kotaku.com/5979255/coulton-covers-glees-ripoff-of-baby-got-back-puts-it-on-itunes-proceeds-go-to-charity]Source[/url] [quote=Kotaku]Coulton put the song on iTunes today under the title "Baby Got Back (In the Style of Glee)." For good measure, he changed his iTunes icon to a picture of him making the L-for-Loser hand gesture, which is used in Glee's logo.[/quote] From his website, [quote=jonathancoulton.com]It’s a cover of Glee’s cover of my cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s song, which is to say it’s EXACTLY THE SAME as my original version. I’m releasing this under the same Harry Fox license I used for the 2005 release, so Mix will get all the royalties due to him. I’ll donate the proceeds from all sales that happen between now and the end of February to two charities: The VH1 Save the Music Foundation, and The It Gets Better Project.[/quote] [url=http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2013/01/26/baby-got-back-glee-style/]Jonathan Coulton's full response[/url]

coverception

Jonathan Coulton is overrated.

[QUOTE=Gump;39369670]Jonathan Coulton is overrated.[/QUOTE] Jonathan Coulton is a very talented musician. How you say he is over rated is beyond me, he is nowhere near a household name.

Now watch FOX sue him and win because they paid off the judges.

[QUOTE=Gump;39369670]Jonathan Coulton is overrated.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;Y6ljFaKRTrI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI[/video] shut up

Hopefully this gets popular because of the (In the style of Glee) in the title.

I wonder if he'll get sued now.

[QUOTE=Doozle;39369850]The impression I get is that half of facepunch would happily fellate the man [/QUOTE] I am indeed a pretty big fan of him and his work, but I can't say i'd suck him off, or anyone off for that matter.

[QUOTE=kaine123;39369880]I wonder if he'll get sued now.[/QUOTE] this would not surprise me

i wonder what sir mix a lot thinks of all this

[QUOTE=Gump;39369670]Jonathan Coulton is overrated.[/QUOTE] I notice you forgot to mention that Glee is overrated, hopefully for the sake of not stating the obvious.

[QUOTE=JoshJosh117;39370031]You don't have to be a household name to be overrated, you know.[/QUOTE] But you'd also have to be a not particularly good musician.

[QUOTE=Gump;39369670]Jonathan Coulton is overrated.[/QUOTE] I don't think you know what overrated means

[QUOTE=Delta616;39369914]I am indeed a pretty big fan of him and his work, but I can't say i'd suck him off, or anyone off for that matter.[/QUOTE] Call yourself a fan

[QUOTE=Gump;39369670]Jonathan Coulton is overrated.[/QUOTE] He's infact very underrated, actually. I literally only know of him because of "RE: Your Brains" which is a song that was commonly affiliated with Left 4 Dead back when the games were really popular. [video=youtube;Fq6BFHfJeNE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq6BFHfJeNE[/video] Ah, good times..

God bless ya Jonathan. If there is a heaven, there should be a big party for when he arrives. And then they all take a shit on Fox.

[QUOTE=smurfy;39370413]Am I seriously feeling nostalgic about 2009 right now?[/QUOTE] Back when Left 4 Dead was like, the best thing ever. Shame Valve stopped caring about it.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;39370560]Back when Left 4 Dead was like, the best thing ever. Shame Valve stopped caring about it.[/QUOTE] Its just because of their fear of the number 3, they cannot release a new one.

This is probably the best thing John could do. Talk about a huge fuckup on Fox's part.

[QUOTE=AzureAngelic;39370020]i wonder what sir mix a lot thinks of all this[/QUOTE] The man's getting paid for both versions of his cover and he was cool with him doing the first one. I think anyone can appreciate what Coulton is doing for the sheer hilarious irony involved in it.

He is, in no way even by definition, overrated. He's only known to the PC gamer community and maybe a few others like a small group on the Indie scene. He has a small diehard fanbase accrued from a few appearances like the l4d2 soundtrack, the 2 portal songs, and doing the theme song for the short lived g4 show "code monkeys".

But compared to other musicians, that's tiny. Daft punk has 119,275,687 scrobbles. Radiohead has 362,316,602.
