This is a cover/alternate version of Jonathan Coulton's song, 'I'm Having a Party' (http://tinyurl.com/yb822r9) made by fans from the Jonathan Coulton forums, in a thread with the discussion ID 1337: http://is.gd/59Jq8.
In the 14 days from concept to completion, no fewer than 12 singers, two ukulele players, one accordion player, one cellist, one audio mixer, two video editors (of which I am one) and one dog came together online to produce this video.

Our lyrics (slightly altered from the original):
The time has come to celebrate your birthday
We just redid the basement, couch and all.
We're all invited, even Mark T. Gordon
Just leave your coats and shoes in our front hall
We'll put on records and no one will dance
It's gonna be funny when Mark wets his pants
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna eat candy and get headaches in the basement
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna play spin the bottle till it's time to go to bed
Colleen is making onion dip and Fritos
Her secret recipe that never fails
Wil Wheaton says he won't come down and punch you
And we can drink his four-pack of Champales
Expect a visit from Fudgie the Whale
Ice cream and crunchies in his fudgy tail
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna eat candy and get headaches in the basement
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna play spin the bottle till it's time to go to bed
Bed time is quiet time
A time for lovers
You can share our sleeping bag
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna eat candy and get headaches in the basement
We're having a party
Hey, you wanna sleep over?
We're gonna play spin the bottle till it's time to go to bed
By the way, the Fudgie the Whale was a lie. There's no point expecting a visit.
