Chiron Beta Prime

Chiron Beta Prime:



by Jonathan Coulton. Hard as it may be to believe, this -yes, this- is my very favorite Christmas song. Go ahead and judge me. I'm used to it.

  1. I can't see the video, but again, I suspect it's my old computer, or I did something wrong that no longer allows me to see any flash images.

    However, since I'm a geek fan of Coulton, I would never judge you for liking him. I adore his quirky songs and impressive lyrics.

    1. This song just kills me lol. It's been a favorite of mine for so long that the first time I play it each year my husband rolls his eyes at the first few notes. Maybe a direct link would work better for you? Here's a link to the video I embedded above: https://youtu.be/B3DyxaCYlfg . You can listen to it on Spotify without video here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4ZZjG7Ni5njcPTkp7frSWM . This story at NPR has a way to listen to the song: http://www.npr.org/2013/12/25/252026963/day-1-sing-along-with-chiron-beta-prime . I hope you can access it.

  2. Yes--pretty funny! Is this from a cartoon show or just made up for the song? Reminds me of the kinds of things Weird Al sings...and he cracks me up. :)

    1. It's my understanding this video was created for the song. It does remind me of Weird Al in a way. He makes me laugh, too :)
