In Which I Have a Meltdown about Rich People Ripping Off Other Rich People
Okay, this is boring to people who don’t care about nerdery, but I’m seriously not over this Glee stealing from independent artists thing. If you care, here is the Glee version of Jonathan Coulton’s “Baby Got Back” arrangement and the original song released by Coulton, overlapped:

THE ARRANGEMENT IS COMPLETELY THE SAME NOTE FOR NOTE. So here’s an artist, who by the way is an independent musician with a somewhat obsessive internet following, being ripped-off WHOLE HOG by a mediocre sitcom clearly well past its expiration date. A few other things that make it macabre in its ridiculousness:
A. Coulton releases all of his work under the Creative Commons Licence, which means (if I understand it correctly) that use of his work is open for anyone not using it commercially,
B. There is a line in Coulton’s version that Coulton changed slightly: “So find that juicy double… Jonny C’s in trouble…” THEY LEFT IN A LINE WHERE COULTON REFERENCES HIMSELF IN PLACE OF SIR MIX-A-LOT
I certainly hope Coulton sues them for the equivalent of the hair gel and glitter budget on that piece of crap show, or at least gets the monetary equivalent of the AV budget in the world of Glee.
And kick back something to me too for having that damn song stuck in my head all weekend.

And now I feel TERRIBLE about myself.
“As a society, we encourage girls and women to be emotionally accessible, and in touch with their feelings; we say that it’s an innately feminine trait. We say it, that is, until they have feelings that make us uncomfortable, at which point we recast them as melodramatic harpies, shrieking banshees, and basket cases.”
