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.

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.

Agent Loeb walks through walls to steal devices out of bank safes, leading to the teleportation of Mr. Jones from the German prison to Little Hill Field.
Dr. Bishop says the "slug" is beautiful - but what is he really talking about? Also, his lab notes differ from what he says out loud about the organic matter.
This song recounts the Season 1 finale, including the final days of David Robert Jones, the revelation of Peter's history, and Olivia's encounter with William Bell.
Lisa Donovan returns from the dead and confronts Andrew Rusk, whose soul has been occupying her head. For this song, The Fringemunks perform live for the first time.
*NOTE: This episode was taped during Season 1, but not aired until Season 2.
