Police chased us throughout the borough known as Queens I was with two used car salesmen: Tom Dobbins and Pat Hickey They stepped outside the car And the cops told them to get down on their knees The lady cop asked me if I'm OK, and I nodded They thought I was a hostage because I am just a kid Tom told the cops, "You have no idea what you're dealing with." I mind-controlled the black cop to his death A hundred feet, he fell I made the lady cop shoot the other cops and then herself And I'd say, "Girl, I can make you kill If I want you to (I want you to) I want you to (I want you to) I'll make you shoot (make you shoot) 'Cause I'm controlling your mind." Tom, Patrick and I walked into a convenience store I made Patrick demand all the money from the drawer I made a customer pour coffee on his face And run through a glass door The clerk pulled out a gun and ordered Tom and Pat to leave I made him put the gun down, then I made him grab a key I made him stick it in the wall socket So he was killed by electricity I phoned my dad and begged him to listen to Tom and Pat's demands I made Tom and Pat ask for two million dollars for the ransom I'd say, "Tom, I'll make you chop your fingers If I want you to (I want you to) I want you to (I want you to) I'll make you bleed (make you bleed)" And I made him saw some fingers off indeed Ooohwoah! I laughed when I saw the tactical team Wearing soundproof headsets (soundproof headsets) With white noise, I bet (white noise, I bet) They did not know yet (did not know yet) That I control people's minds I made Pat crash, then I grabbed the cash In an alley, Peter fell into my mind-control trap I made Peter use a gun to pistol-whip a policeman Then I made him drive me to my long lost mom in Maryland Where I said, "Mom, I've got 2 million dollars Let us run away (let's run away) To Costa Rica (Costa Rica)" But I got mad (I got mad) When my mom's husband walked in the room Ooohwhoa! Then I made Peter point a gun At my mom's husband head I made him shoot Broyles instead And I made Peter drive me away But I lost control, and Peter drove into a pole OW!

    NEWS:
    FRI., 5 FEB 2010 -
    We made Alyssa Milano laugh, according to her Twitter message to her 600,000+ followers!

    And thanks to her, and to a plethora of others who retweeted her message, The Fringemunks' "iPad Song" (and its music video) has taken the country by storm. The song was even trending on Twitter (entire United States region) for about half an hour today.

    For the 'munks, it is their most widely distributed song to date. It is also their first song about the real world, as all their parody songs up until now have been recaps of fictional storylines.

    TUE., 12 JAN 2010 - Enjoy last night's episode, entitled "Unearthed"? It was a Season 1 episode that was finally aired during Season 2; hence, the appearance of one of the characters who has already died off by now. Interestingly, the show is listed by FOX as Epis. 1.21, which is one after the Season 1 finale. We will still recap this episode, and it will show up in our Season 1 tracklisting.
