Ha ha, my roommate curses the day Johnny Cash covered Hurt--when he hears this he's going to tear his ears off. posted by napkin at 4:58 PM on August 28, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
Ha! I knew who it was before clicking the second link. Good job, lore!
Your voice is familiar, soothing and... paternal almost, insinuating, beguiling, hiding an abyssmal evil. You've got to try the physical manifestation of Santa/Satan on for size sometime. I can see it now - the throne of bones there in the center of the mall, the black matted fur and crimson velvet suit, pointy hoary beard, is that blood or cocoa spilled there? shiny black leather spiked belt and boots... minions cracking their faces with smiled, hunched low by some black sorcery into sycophancy and eternal work. I daresay I'd be helpless to resist as you'd take me on your lap and promise me a pony if I was good and gave you my very soul.
Lore Sjöberg's new Christmas carol, "Nine Inch Noels", has brought the word "BAD" to new levels of badness. Bad singing. Bad music. Bad everything. This MP3 just oozed rottenness from every bad measure... Simply bad beyond all infinite dimensions of possible badness ...
this kind of schlock should not be supported. it will only lead to more. it was cute the first couple times, but come on. come on. posted by mr_book at 7:34 PM on August 28, 2008
Gosh, is it already time to start putting up the Christmas decorations? posted by Quietgal at 7:38 PM on August 28, 2008
Oh sure, it's good enough for bad gods, but not for mefi music? posted by yhbc at 8:10 PM on August 28, 2008

This is hilarious, and also fantastic. And I'm a big NIN fan.
Not a huge obsessive one, but I like them a lot. posted by Caduceus at 8:29 PM on August 28, 2008
Oh..... my ears are bleeding but I can't stop listening! posted by sir_rubixalot at 10:00 PM on August 28, 2008
Thanks, folks. I've been considering trying to do a better, less MIDI-ish version of this for this year. Hell, if anyone out there is better at composing, sequencing, or playing an actual instrument than I am and wants to collaborate, drop me some MeFiMail. I can't offer anything but credit, but maybe...just maybe that's enough.
I'd also love to get an actual chorus or perhaps chorale to record the last part, but I have no freaking idea how to make that happen. posted by lore at 10:10 PM on August 28, 2008
That was awesome. posted by grouse at 10:42 PM on August 28, 2008
That was fabulous!
Except now I've got the medley running through my head, and I can't stop giggling. How am I going to sleep tonight? If I'm late to work tomorrow, it's YOUR FAULT, Lore! posted by treepour at 11:20 PM on August 28, 2008
