"Curl", an anthem for the ice based Olympic sport is a song on Jonathan Coulton's fifth album, Thing a Week Two.
[edit] History
"Curl" was released as the twentieth Thing a Week on February 10th, 2006.
[edit] Live appearance
"Curl" is played occasionally at Jonathan Coulton concerts, usually in colder cities (especially in Minnesota, and a required song for Canadian setlists) where it's more likely there are actually curlers in the audience. When performing with Paul and Storm, they usually accompany Jonathan with full backing vocals.
[edit] Trivia
- Curling has been an Olympic sport since the 1998 Winter Olympics. Because it was the first time many Americans were seeing the sport, it enjoyed a brief spurt in popularity.
