Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

so sad. True geniuses are rarely appreciated in their own time. He's like a feline Van gogh.

StukaFox says...

Wait, how can he be dead if he's right there on the internet?!

Now if someone could just kill off this meme

So the best thing of teh Internets in 2009 so far actually turned out to be from the 80s?!?

The decade just got +50 pts in Cool, unlocked a +2.0% Roll of Comedy and negated a whole lot of 80s awkward-rap commercials, as far as I'm concerned.

Keyboard Cat WILL LIVE FUR-EVAAAR!!!!!!!!

And it's not brief anymore!

what a catchy song!

No one talks much about the melancholy/bittersweet nature of the tune. Sorry to hear about the kitty. He leaves behind a substantial legacy.

When the news reports on an internet phenom you know it is over... RIP Keyboard Cat.

But cats have nine lives. He didn't die, he just went down an octave.
