Pop!Tech bard, Jonathan Coulton, combines the sweetest of melodies with bizarrely captivating lyrics inspired by random photos downloaded from Flickr.

A freight train passes
Someone’s grandma owns a gun
A dog with glasses
A strange balloon man has too much fun
Thumbs up for Slurpees
If you’re receiving then you’re not gay
A case of herpes
As it turns out the eyepatch is A-OK
Watch the video of Coulton's "Flickr" music video to make sense of these wackaddodle images. Stick with it as the song slowly slips from sickly sweet into subversively surreal.
