Here’s a funny little undead ditty by Jonathan Coulton:

You can buy Jonathan’s Weezer sounding zombie song at payloadz for just a buck.

And the lyrics:

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I love this song. Monster Hospital by Canadian band Metric is one darn catchy tune on its own. A terrified female lead singer, undead band mates and other horror elements in black and white with red all over video directed by Toronto’s Micah Meisner makes it just that much better. I bought this CD after the first time I heard the song while watching music videos one dark night and am glad I did. There’s plenty more in the way of decent tunes on the Live it Out CD. The zombies reeled me in but the music kept me.

9 out of 10 for both song and video.

Beware! There’s some NSFW lyrics ahead:

Sometimes musicians can make creative use of zombies in music videos. Peaches - Kick It (featuring Iggy Pop) is one example I enjoy. It’s not the best song but the video’s tons of fun. Iggy Pop looks like a zombie sometimes anyway, but you gotta love the guy.

For a more comprehensive review of the the video check out the article at Zombie Lore (an awesome site).

Ah yes! A bunch of my favourite things all rolled up into one. The Ramones, a zombie theme and a Stephen King book and movie. I guess Johnny, Dee Dee and Joey were not buried in a Pet Sematary as we have yet to see them live their lives again. Too bad. I miss the Ramones.

The first time I Pet Sematary read book gave me such an acute case of the heebie jeebies that I had to sleep with the lights on. Even though Pet Sematary, the book, was far better than the Pet Sematary, the film, I enjoyed the movie regardless. Fred Gwynne a.k.a. Herman Munster as Jed Crandall was superbly creepy with his thick Maine accent. The youngster, Miko Hughes, who played Gage Creed had the best lines in the film:

• movie rating: 7.5/10
• book rating: 8.5/10
• song rating: 10/10 [Gabba Gabba Hey!]

Here’s one of my favourite scenes from the Lucio Fulci film Zombie:

If you’re a zombie movie fan you’ve already seen the flick, If you haven’t you’re really missing out. Although the story is slow at times, the creative gore factor is extremely high as it is with most of the Italian films in the genre.

I love the theme song for the film too. Here it is:
