Nickelskeleton is a song written by James Kochalka Superstar. He is also responsible for internet cult-like favorite Monkey vs. Robot. This song is on his "Mermaid" album. It is about a dancing skeleton who plays for nickels. I decided to node it because it is quite catchy and I feel that even though it's kind of silly, it does a great job at cheering me up.

Lyrics
Put another nickel in
in the nickelskeleton.
Can you dance as fast as him?
Just try to keep up with him.

Everybody's having fun dancing with the skeleton.
Even the little ones want to try and dance with him.
Put another nickel in, in the nickelskeleton.
Can you dance as fast as him?
Just try to keep up with him.

Everybody feeling tired, everybody feeling good
dancing like an idiot, dancing like a fool
Put another nickel in, in the nickelskeleton.
Can you dance as fast as him?
Just try to keep up with him.

Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.

Put another nickel in, in the nickelskeleton.
Can you dance as fast as him?
Just try to keep up with him.

Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
Everybody boogie down, boogie down to Funkytown.
