I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, —-Deafornot dot c om—-, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.
@ToasterCentral he put the three letters of the words onto the sign for “planet / world”
I love how you quickly spelt Soylent Green in finger spelling near the end.
My favorite song! I love your expressions.
Tutorial please? I lve been sign songs since 3 rd grade. Since then i love signing 😀
Oh, one question: how are you signing the letters for “Chiron Beta Prime”? We were trying to figure it out, and it looks like you are maybe doing “C-B-P” in fingerspelling, but I was curious how the hand-rotation-thing works into it and all (pardon my ignorance, I am a VERY beginning ASL student).
This song is hilarious…especially with the infamous “GREAT FACIAL EXPRESSIONS!!!!!!” 🙂
Anyone know what he finger spelled?? Great vid
Dude. You are a genius. You may have turned me straight.
this is awsome
I’m impressed. good work. I enjoyed it
Impressive!
Amazing ASL, I loved it.
I love that Bill Corbett did the “Message redacted” line.

You are just so expressive! I have always enjoyed watching people sign songs, and I really like your choices. Coulton rocks!
That is so cool. You are very good at sign language. 😀 Keep it up.
Very well done! Does ASL have pantomime signs to indicate that instrumental music is playing, or were you just improvising at 1:48?
Ah, poison snow… it looks like winter. =D
Love it.
If you love it as much as i have come to? You should be able to find it it is on cd/dvd:
Jonathan Coulton-Best.Concert.Ever THANK YOU, Stephen, Thank You!
Awesome! Didn’t know the song but now I love it!
You’re the best, Captain!
Well, if he equates “manager” with “overlord,” he might’ve worked for some pretty terrible office managers, at some point in his life.
It was meant as a comment of sympathy…
Why would you say THAT? That is not nice!
AWESOME ASL, costume, and HEROIC FACE EXPRESSIONS! <3! (But not quite in THAT way)
Your awesomeness knows no bounds 😀 Happy New Year!
BRILLIANT!
