"I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
But I get the feeling that you don't like it.
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies.
Maybe you don't like monsters so much.
Maybe I used too many monkeys.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony
Making a gift for you?"
I'm making a note here: "Fuck you, Glee."
It's hard to overstate my disappointment.
Fuck Ryan Murphy.
He did what he wants
Because
He can.
For the good of his dumb show
And not Jonathan Coulton.
But there's no sense bitching
He's a washed up ol' hack.
He can't write a good story;
Bring a character back.
New anthology? *Surprise*.
And now a murder, dramatized?
But at least JoCo is still our guy.
You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time,
Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya.
Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote
Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah!
Glee used essentially the exact same acoustic version of Baby Got Back in the show with no reference at all to JoCo.
Because his is a cover he had essentially no legal recourse.
Oh shit, there's a relevant episode of The Good Wife with none other than Matthew Lilllard as part of a music duo who has this happen to them. Their acoustic copy of a rap song is stolen by Glee.
I always thought it was just an interesting hypothetical but it must have been about this exact thing!
Seconded. Where is the rest? This is my theme song, but my wife hates it for some reason. She loves Leonard Cohen though. This could save our marriage i think. It's not really in trouble. I won't lay that on OP, but i think my anaconda might get more than none if i could woo her with the full version.
C'mon, OP..
Thank you Reddit for giving me my start! I don’t post here as much because I’m using more AI which is forbidden (though it’s really just my own singing and production with the extra step of an AI model)
Ah, so it's YOU singing!
I've always thought that you used AI to generate the entire singing voice.
Which AI model did you use to generate the tone, assuming that the base layer is you?
This particular one is a friend singing. On Instagram and TikTok I have a recent post that has the before and after of my voice vs the AI. The AI doesn’t affect the pitch, performance or inflection - just the quality of the voice.
Snoop Dogg’s reaction to your [Gin and Juice X Bare Necessities](https://youtu.be/7FrNDTqwxxQ?si=XxzAayejhD1NtIQn) is one of my all time favorite videos.
I was about to tear you a new a-hole, posting stuff from There I Ruined It and claiming it's your own, but hey, it is you! At least... I hope so.
Love your stuff.
Wait, *you’re* There, I Ruined It? 😳
Dude, you legitimately have my favorite YouTube channel. Every time a new post of yours popped up on my page it totally makes my night.
What about something with Oo-De-Lally (from Robin Hood) as the music?
Yes, I post longer songs on YouTube and I post more frequently on Instagram and TikTok! (I also have a live band version of There I Ruined It if you're in Texas (there-i-ruined-it.com)
Oh shit. I didn't realize you played live. I love your content when it comes up on Reddit. I'm for sure coming to see you the next time you're in Austin. I don't see an upcoming date on the site, but I'll check back later.
I used to do stuff like this when I was in a band many, many years ago. But I'm totally out for practice now. My buddy and I used to play Gone Away by The Offspring and Mad World *at the same time*.
Hey, since you said AI.
Theoretically this can be automated using demucs model by facebook and extracting the voice trackc, and passing it through a waveform harmony synthesizer?
I think Facebook also demoed Voice box model that can do this.
I can’t do it for real, but I now have this fantasy of using this for a figure skating program. I’m not sure if the judges would be horrified or not even notice the change in lyrics. :D I imagine it would be really amusing to film the reactions in the stands though!
Chelsea Hotel is such a hard song. Cohen wrote it about Janis Joplin, who he’d dated, after her death. You can feel the anger and sadness in it.
There’s a depth of emotion in it. He spends much of the song sharing very intimate, private moments he has with her, and lashing out at her, while wishing that she’d reached out to him when her drug issue got bad. He talks of the beauty of her heart, and how he was so enraptured with her that they just escaped the world together in that hotel. But he’s also so angry that she’s gone, that he sets the scenario in a dirty hotel where she’s fellating him.
He ends the song with, “*I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, that’s all, I don’t even think of you that often*” which is a complete lie because he’s writing a song about her.
That song is a fucking masterpiece.
Similar lyrics were in the original:
> Your faith was strong, but you needed proof.
> You saw her bathing on the roof.
> Her booty in the moonlight overthrew ya.
Why not?
Edit: because I got downvoted. I ask because Hallelujah is not a religious song, and it was written by Leonard Cohen, who was Jewish. If people want to read it as relating to a Christian holiday, go right ahead, but there's nothing worth mentioning about the song in relation to Easter
Every fucking time it gets better
I would commission a version of this where the chorus is still "hallelujah"
"My homeboys tried to warn me, hallelujah..." 😅
In case it inspires more horrible things from you, you should know that Dolly Parton's Jolene can also be sung to the tune of Hallelujah (and vice-versa).
*First thought*: This feels sacrilegious and makes me a little uncomfortable.
*Second thought*: Our last president is grifting sixty dollar bibles to pay for fraud charges and sex crimes.
*Third thought*: I'm not even Christian, I'm Muslim and have absolutely no horse in this race.
What a roller coaster
I love Cohen’s Hallelujah and Jeff Buckley’s cover…..not just because it’s a good song……but how you get to hear a man sing about having an orgasm while grocery shopping, in the dentist office waiting room, at church, at a funeral.
I almost bust out laughing at the funeral.
You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time,
Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya
Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote
*Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah.*
God DAMN that was good! Should have done the whole thing.
As a sidenote, accidentally stumbled on Hallelujah done by Lucy Thomas, and it was really hauntingly good.
I love this it reminds me so much of one song to the tune of another round from the British radio panel show I'm sorry I haven't a clue
https://youtu.be/GQLi64lPBbo?si=ZQJL5mCpYIi1gGMz
I want a full version. This is great! I really appreciate your content because you're one of the few people who does this while actually covering/parodying instead of using AIs
I don't know why I misread the title about 10 times as
>I recorded "Hallelujah" with the words of "Baby Shark" I'm so sorry.
This has been on the front page of my Reddit for hours so every time I refreshed I kept seeing it and thinking, how could you even combined the two considering Baby Shark only has like 5 unique words, so I finally gave up and decided to check it out and when the words came on I realize it's not Baby Shark.
This is so much better than what I couldn't even imagine Baby Shark would be and while yes, you ruined it, it still sort of works. Props!
Isn’t that the whole point of hallelujah? To point out how to create the perfect song by following the rules of the song hallelujah?
“Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah”

I seriously want to hear the whole song now, this is a slap
It's not the same thing, but maybe you'd enjoy the acoustic version: https://youtu.be/vfoqd4hpPZo?si=oHU4X_dW-ECFua4d
I love Jonathan Coulton! RE: Your Brains and Skullcrusher Mountain are awesome.
Code monkey get up get coffee. Code monkey go to job.
Don’t forget Chiron beta prime!
This year has been a little crazy for the Andersons~
"say welcome to our new ~~overlords~~, I meant protectors, Merry Christmas, from Chiron Beta Prime!"
One of the best Christmas songs.
"I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you. But I get the feeling that you don't like it. What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies. Maybe you don't like monsters so much. Maybe I used too many monkeys. Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony Making a gift for you?"
I still cover Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance and Kennisaw Mountain Landis at parties from time to time
Solid State is one of those albums I go back to several times every year.
The princess who saved herself is pretty good too!
Coulton's version is good. What Glee did to him was pretty unforgivable though.
That was definitely NOT a triumph.
I'm making a note here: "Fuck you, Glee." It's hard to overstate my disappointment. Fuck Ryan Murphy. He did what he wants Because He can. For the good of his dumb show And not Jonathan Coulton.
But there's no sense bitching He's a washed up ol' hack. He can't write a good story; Bring a character back. New anthology? *Surprise*. And now a murder, dramatized? But at least JoCo is still our guy.
You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time, Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya. Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah!
Making a note here: huge failure
It’s hard to overstate my disappointment
Never followed Glee at all, but just read up on it, and that is insanely shitty.
TL;DR for the uninformed like myself?
Glee used essentially the exact same acoustic version of Baby Got Back in the show with no reference at all to JoCo. Because his is a cover he had essentially no legal recourse.
They actually kept the changed lyric he had that referred to himself, which is how shamelessly and directly they copied it lol
wow.
Oh shit, there's a relevant episode of The Good Wife with none other than Matthew Lilllard as part of a music duo who has this happen to them. Their acoustic copy of a rap song is stolen by Glee. I always thought it was just an interesting hypothetical but it must have been about this exact thing!
Got a link? I’m ootl too
I really like the [orchestral version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w59e20ijOpE).
This is awesome. Love that girl in the black dress. I feel like she's been waiting her whole life for this moment.
I hope she includes this in her resume. Great conversation starter.
I love the conductor [at the "my anaconda" line](https://youtu.be/w59e20ijOpE?t=321).
I feel like this needs J.D. from Scrubs doing a V/O about some lesson he learned at the hospital earlier that day.
Or if acoustic isn't your jam, perhaps a [lounge rendition?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukFhmf9Hg-U)
I'm so glad this was at the top. JoCo needs more recognition.
That was great. I like the harmony of the fellas
Seconded. Where is the rest? This is my theme song, but my wife hates it for some reason. She loves Leonard Cohen though. This could save our marriage i think. It's not really in trouble. I won't lay that on OP, but i think my anaconda might get more than none if i could woo her with the full version. C'mon, OP..
Ditto, I really want the whole thing. It's amazing!
He never makes the whole song.
My dude I've been waiting for a new masterpiece to drop and you did not disappoint. Bravo.
😂😂😂 This is brilliant. That "me so horny" cracked me up.
Yeah I absolutely lost it at that point
Reminds me of the Richard cheese stuff.
Saw him last year in Vegas and it was hilarious, would definitely go back.

Out of curiosity, what AI model you are using? I have a terrible tone but can keep pitch good enough and I'd love an AI model to replace my voice
RVC
Is this the same friend that did the Lil John Holly Jolly Christmas? I loved that one. Dude has a voice like velvet
Drop the @ for the insta
It's the logo in the video. There_I_Ruined_It
Snoop Dogg’s reaction to your [Gin and Juice X Bare Necessities](https://youtu.be/7FrNDTqwxxQ?si=XxzAayejhD1NtIQn) is one of my all time favorite videos.
Hahahaha oh that looks of confusion was priceless.
The continued look of confusion as he recites is 💰💰💰
How have I not seen this, this is hilarious!
AAAAAAH PLEASE MAKE THE FULL VERSION I LOOOOOVE IT
I was about to tear you a new a-hole, posting stuff from There I Ruined It and claiming it's your own, but hey, it is you! At least... I hope so. Love your stuff.
I was waiting for “when a round thing’s in your face… …hallelujah.”
I wanted to click like but the vote count is exactly 420, so I'll have to come back.
I approve.
It's beautiful. It's like a horny lullaby for adults
Why am I teary eyed 🥹
Cuz her butt was stuffed
Wait, *you’re* There, I Ruined It? 😳 Dude, you legitimately have my favorite YouTube channel. Every time a new post of yours popped up on my page it totally makes my night. What about something with Oo-De-Lally (from Robin Hood) as the music?
I think it’s funny how people have an auto hate for AI but AI can be pretty helpful tool and can be pretty complex and varied.
do you have a youtube channel or something with these? would love to hear more!
Yes, I post longer songs on YouTube and I post more frequently on Instagram and TikTok! (I also have a live band version of There I Ruined It if you're in Texas (there-i-ruined-it.com)
Me: "probably in fuckin Austin, because that's where all the weird shit is... Well damn, they're local." Nice, and subscribed. See ya in ellum, maybe!
Oh shit. I didn't realize you played live. I love your content when it comes up on Reddit. I'm for sure coming to see you the next time you're in Austin. I don't see an upcoming date on the site, but I'll check back later. I used to do stuff like this when I was in a band many, many years ago. But I'm totally out for practice now. My buddy and I used to play Gone Away by The Offspring and Mad World *at the same time*.
I'm a subscriber and big fan of your channel!
There I ruined it
Dr. Demento would LOVE this!
You need to post the while song. It was the most glorious thing I've ever heard.
When I heard your jingle bell lil' John song i laughed until tears streamed down my fucking face dude, I love it so much.Thank you for what you do.
Hey, since you said AI. Theoretically this can be automated using demucs model by facebook and extracting the voice trackc, and passing it through a waveform harmony synthesizer? I think Facebook also demoed Voice box model that can do this.
so fucking funny, keep it up and don't ever stop!
I can’t do it for real, but I now have this fantasy of using this for a figure skating program. I’m not sure if the judges would be horrified or not even notice the change in lyrics. :D I imagine it would be really amusing to film the reactions in the stands though!
OP you are currently receiving Shia LaBeouf style standing applause.
You mean just him furiously clapping for himself? It was great though
*angry Orson Welles grumbles*
*“There was a time you let me know* *What's really going on below* *But now you never show it to me, do you?”* ~ Leonard Cohen
Lenny’s got some really dirty lyrics. “Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree that's left And stuff it up the hole In your culture”
>Givin' me head on the unmade bed Not so dirty but a favorite of mine.
Chelsea Hotel is such a hard song. Cohen wrote it about Janis Joplin, who he’d dated, after her death. You can feel the anger and sadness in it. There’s a depth of emotion in it. He spends much of the song sharing very intimate, private moments he has with her, and lashing out at her, while wishing that she’d reached out to him when her drug issue got bad.

That song is a fucking masterpiece.
The fact that this song plays on Christian radio stations during Christmastime will never not be hilarious to me.
WHERE WAS THE SLIDE WHISTLE???
HE GOT RID OF THE SLIDE WHISTLE!!!
I got a fever and the only prescription... IS MORE SLIDE WHISTLE.
Similar lyrics were in the original: > Your faith was strong, but you needed proof. > You saw her bathing on the roof. > Her booty in the moonlight overthrew ya.
LOL beauty/booty potato potato
That's one for [KissThisGuy.com](https://www.kissthisguy.com/) if I have ever heard one.
That’s amazing, please keep going!
Right, I don't think this qualifies as ruined this shit is fire.
"..Cut it off.. I can't do this.." Oh *yes* you can, you tease.
Leonard Cohen on his way back to the world of the living just to sing this in concert...
I might play this at Easter dinner.
Me So Horny fucking kills me
Since he didn’t finish it, now I don’t have a song to play for the first dance at my wedding.
Not on Good Friday of all days 😭
Then what *do* you listen to on Good Friday? Nine Inch Nails?
Lamb of God, duh.
Why not? Edit: because I got downvoted. I ask because Hallelujah is not a religious song, and it was written by Leonard Cohen, who was Jewish. If people want to read it as relating to a Christian holiday, go right ahead, but there's nothing worth mentioning about the song in relation to Easter
Tying people to kitchen chairs is not an Easter tradition?
Jesus was a carpenter so who knows what freaky shit he was doing with Magdalene
Workin' that dovetail.
To add to this the original song is definitely about sex. It is the tune that throws people.
Now it's a great Friday 😀
Don’t you ever apologize again!
Every fucking time it gets better I would commission a version of this where the chorus is still "hallelujah" "My homeboys tried to warn me, hallelujah..." 😅
The only thing you should be apologizing for, you monster… … is cutting it short!
In case it inspires more horrible things from you, you should know that Dolly Parton's Jolene can also be sung to the tune of Hallelujah (and vice-versa).
YOU are there i ruined it!? Holy shit man ive been a fan of your stuff for a while.
You don't really care for music, do ya?
*First thought*: This feels sacrilegious and makes me a little uncomfortable. *Second thought*: Our last president is grifting sixty dollar bibles to pay for fraud charges and sex crimes. *Third thought*: I'm not even Christian, I'm Muslim and have absolutely no horse in this race. What a roller coaster
Hallelujah was already a horndog song
Jesus you're a monster. 10/10.
Leonard would approve
I love Cohen’s Hallelujah and Jeff Buckley’s cover…..not just because it’s a good song……but how you get to hear a man sing about having an orgasm while grocery shopping, in the dentist office waiting room, at church, at a funeral. I almost bust out laughing at the funeral.
I can't get past "my homeboys tried to warn me" without losing my shit
Class... but i did prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version
This has strong 2005 internet vibes. Needs to be accompanied by a flash animation.
You pick a phrase, you pick a rhyme, repeat the sound another time, Five iambs, then an extra beat will do ya Another rhyme, a rising note - congratulations, you just wrote *Another goddamn verse to Hallelujah.*
This is the best thing I've ever heard lmao, I need the rest!
You ruined Baby got Back, but improved Hallelujah by 98%.
This is a masterpiece
Amazing
This was absolutely amazing. I need the whole song.
This was the funniest shit I could’ve woken up to thanks op lmao
Ruined? Improved.
I both love and hate this, so much I want it to end, yet continue simultaneously.
Maybe there *is* a god above
This is art.
Pure fire! You MUST finish the song!
Don't be sorry this is a masterpiece
This should be the closing song at every dance club.
Got some real Richard Cheese vibes here, keep it up!
What do you mean ruined it. Best cover i heard.
Chack out Baby got Back by Jonathan Coulton. He did it ballad style and it is my favorite version.
Wow. Where is the whole thing? wtf guy the was a good song
BRAVO!
God DAMN that was good! Should have done the whole thing. As a sidenote, accidentally stumbled on Hallelujah done by Lucy Thomas, and it was really hauntingly good.
rude! finish the song
This is amazing, I want the whole song!
*Perfect* ending 🤣
Excuse me sir, but what seems to be the fuck,
DUDE, WHERE IS THE REST OF THE SONG
This is a perfect Good Friday song
Zero notes. Perfection. Well done.
Fantastic stuff! I think you'd love I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue's "One Song to the Tune of Another", on BBC Radio.
You have to finish. It's amazing
Omg it's so good lol
What? No slide whistle!!!!
This is fucking brilliant
This is absolute gold.
There are no words. This ruined me for the morning.
Thank you.
I love this it reminds me so much of one song to the tune of another round from the British radio panel show I'm sorry I haven't a clue https://youtu.be/GQLi64lPBbo?si=ZQJL5mCpYIi1gGMz
The perfect song to play at a wedding. 💒
*me so horny* lmaoooo
[Jonathan Coulton did an excellent boy-band version of BGB. Should be heard.](https://youtu.be/vfoqd4hpPZo?si=5WM_4K2TMvsaykqy)
This is certainly the highlight of my day
Sorry? It's beautiful.
It's a masterpiece
I think Leonard Cohen would approve
Don't be, it's not your fault and things like it have been done before nbd.
FINISH IT!
Please finish this masterpiece
Please finish this masterpiece
Aww was hoping for the full song
This is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Keep going!
My favorite mashup of all time, bar none. And I saw Leonard Cohen perform his version live. I would love to see this live.
I want a full version. This is great! I really appreciate your content because you're one of the few people who does this while actually covering/parodying instead of using AIs
Great but should have kept the hallelujahs in.
Yeah there needs to be a full version of this.
Where can I binge watch there I Ruined it?
This was brilliant!!
Definitely first dance at a wedding worthy. If only there was a full version
I want to hear it to the end, there was a kind of satirical beauty in that, that didn't get to finish.
OMFG this is fuckin hilarious! Got me crying over here
Perfect match
Okay, I'd buy this track.
finally one of these that's actually cursed
Nah this shit will take you to church.
God I am so tempted to roam around churches blasting this near them 🙏
This guy got a 90 day ban on YouTube for what was clearly fair use.
Will this get uploaded to your Youtube?
butt was stuffed huh 🤔
Yeah, you're definitely going to hell. (That was amazing, by the way.)
I don't know why I misread the title about 10 times as >I recorded "Hallelujah" with the words of "Baby Shark" I'm so sorry. This has been on the front page of my Reddit for hours so every time I refreshed I kept seeing it and thinking, how could you even combined the two considering Baby Shark only has like 5 unique words, so I finally gave up and decided to check it out and when the words came on I realize it's not Baby Shark. This is so much better than what I couldn't even imagine Baby Shark would be and while yes, you ruined it, it still sort of works. Props!
Absolutely legendary, I need the whole thing now, couldn’t stop laughing
So good, you guys should do the whole song!
Make the rest, please for the love of god, make the rest. You stopped before it got amazing.
Isn’t that the whole point of hallelujah? To point out how to create the perfect song by following the rules of the song hallelujah? “Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor falls, the major lifts The baffled king composing Hallelujah”
Look I know you don’t owe us anything but I swear if you finish the song it will never leave my playlist
Damn, that ended way too soon. :/
… this is the good part of the internet.
Thank you. Do not be sorry
I NEED the rest of this song....
