Jonathan Coulton – Re: Your Brains – ASL Song


“Re: Your Brains” by Jonathan Coulton performed in ZSL (Zombie Sign Language). This was definitely my most work-intensive video yet. I made the zombie costume from scratch specifically for this occasion, down to the fake blood and everything. Click “more info” for lyrics. Heya Tom, its Bob from the office down the hall HI I BOB, OFFICE HALL [location-mid] FROM-[there] Good to see you buddy, howve you been? GOOD SEE-[you] FRIEND, HOW ARE YOU? Thing have been OK for me except that Im a zombie now I GET-THROUGH OK, BUT I BECOME [ZOMBIE] I really wish youd let us in PAST I WISH YOU INVITE-[us] I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand I THINK WE AGREE WE UNDERSTAND Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand WHY YOU NOT WANT OBEY US But heres an FYI: youre all gonna die screaming BUT I SEND {FYI} FUTURE YOU-[all] DIE, SCREAM All we want to do is eat your brains WE WANT DO-WHAT? YOUR BRAIN EAT Were not unreasonable, I mean, WE NOT CRAZY, No ones gonna eat your eyes NOT EYES EAT All we want to do is eat your brains WE WANT DO-WHAT? YOUR BRAIN EAT Were at an impasse here, TWO-OF-US NOT GET-ALONG, Maybe we should compromise: MAYBE TWO-OF-US NEGOTIATE If you open up the doors IF YOU OPEN Well all come inside and eat your brains WE ENTER, YOUR BRAIN EAT I dont want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan? I KNOW I PICK-ON-[you] BUT YOUR PLAN WHAT? To spend your whole life locked inside a mall? LIVE ALONE INSIDE MALL? Maybe thats OK for now but someday .

  1. i think this is the best vid i have seen in a long time, thanks man, ur so awesome that words cant discribe (sorry for typos, im not english, im from Norway 😉 so greetings from here)

  2. I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf dating site, ———-deafmatching dot c om——–, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.

  3. You won the internet with this video. Why I haven’t seen this until now I cannot fathom . . .

  4. See, this is why people don’t want deaf people to become zombies.They have to make a sign for (AAAAAAAARRGGGGGGHARRGAARBRAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)(It’s joke, i’m not trying to be mean.)

  5. D-O, spelled repetitively and posed as a question, head tilted forward, brow furrowed, this is how my ASL professor teaches it also.
    My favorite use is FRIENDS-[DO WHAT]-CHEW-DOORS 😀

  6. “WE WANT DO-WHAT? YOUR BRAIN EAT”

    What sign are you using for DO WHAT… Because the signs I know are different. I’d trust your signs before mine though. lol. Keep posting songs! =D
