Dolls are weird dude, especially one my aunt had from her childhood - huge, like 3 feet tall, and it had those eyes that would open and close, but they were off so sometimes you could only see the whites. Freaked me out when I was little. Heard it on some random podcast somewhere, and I love this!

I was about five years old, and my family moved to an acreage just outside of Ottawa, Ontario. The day we moved in, I found a creepy little clown doll in the cold storage area in the basement. I went upstairs to show it to my mom, and my mom got scared, and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. I had a similar experience.

I certainly would be on my way to see her if I weren't already dead in dog years. Screw it. You are great and if you wish, I can help you enormously. It's just too bad that Cablevision came and unhooked my service from the telephone pole. But it's OK. As soon as O! is elected, I am pretty sure that rich people will have to pay for my cable.

This reminds me of some of the better MST3K episodes. I love it. It's close between this and Seahorse, but I think this is the best song you've written since Code Monkey. Wow.

Weirdly, the line "and there's a creepy doll" reminds of "we are the cheeky girls." *shudder* Excellent song, the best in ages.

I can imagine a shaky black and white camera zooming out from the burning box to the guy running around on fire. This song truly is creepy in an excellent way. It needs a music video though... classic black and white with the vertical jumping lines of white to make it look weathered and at the end the classic reel-tearing-apart animation while looking into the doll's eyes.

It totally reminds of something that scared the hell out of me as a kid. It was an ad for this TV movie called "Trilogy of Terror" and there was an evil-looking little warrior doll that came to life and started killing people. Creepy for sure. *shiver* Great song!

Now I'll have this melody in the back of my head for days. And I can only change it by hearing 'Stroller Town' just to have that in there for days. No problem with re-inventing yourself or re-using sounds. I also wonder if the Anderson ever got visited. Aw, come on, you did it again. Now I’ll have this melody in the back of my head for days.
