"Overhead" is a song on Jonathan Coulton's first album, Smoking Monkey.

Trivia

  • According to the Smoking Monkey info page, Jonathan says "Overhead" "might be my favorite unappreciated B-side."
  • According to longtime JoCo fan and friend awryone, this song has no overarching narrative meaning, other than Jonathan liking puzzles: "Our friend Adam Sachs, blogger of note, coined the phrase, 'Once in a while, I go out of my way, to kill you, a little.' Jon thought it was great, and wrote a song around it. Like a challenge. That's it."

When our torsion spnrig broke on Saturday, leaving our car stuck in the garage, we did a bit of research and called several companies to get a quote and see how many days we would have to wait. We were shocked when we called Spectrum! They offered a significantly lower price than the other companies, and showed up within two and a half hours. The technician did an excellent job and even quieted our historically loud opener. From the price to the timing to the service, Spectrum was flawless. We highly recommend Spectrum and will certainly use them again.
