Thing a Week (sometimes as Thing-a-Week) is a series of studio albums released by rock musician Jonathan Coulton in 2006. He compiled these albums from his weekly podcast, where he challenged himself to write, record, and produce a new song within a week, every week, for an entire year. He had done this to prove to himself, and to fans, that he was capable of working with a deadline. Thing a Week One Thing a Week One is the first album of the series, and Jonathan Coulton's fourth studio album. It contains some of Coulton's earliest hit songs, including "Shop Vac" and a cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back." This album also features "W's Duty," one of very few songs Coulton has written about a real life topic. The tenth Thing a Week, "When I'm 25 or 64", is missing from this album due to copyright restrictions (it is a mashup of The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four " from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" from Chicago). It may be freely downloaded from Coulton's website. As such, this is the only Thing a Week album without at least 13 tracks (compare Thing a Week Four, which has 14). Track list All tracks written and composed by Jonathan Coulton unless noted. Thing a Week Two Thing a Week Two is the second Thing a Week album, and the fifth studio album by Jonathan Coulton. It features some of Coulton's most popular songs, including "Re: Your Brains," which would later be featured in Valve's popular 2009 video game, Left 4 Dead 2, and later re-recorded in French language in the album The Aftermath. "Chiron Beta Prime," a Christmas song that originated as a Christmas card to one of Coulton's friends, is also on the album and shows how Coulton's songs tend to be about science fiction. It also includes "I Will," a cover of The Beatles' song from the White Album. Track List All tracks written and composed by Jonathan Coulton unless noted. Thing a Week Three Thing a Week Three is the third Thing a Week album, and the sixth studio album by Jonathan Coulton. It contains two of Coulton's most popular songs. "Code Monkey," used as the theme to a TV show and internet series, G4's Code Monkeys, and "Tom Cruise Crazy", a song about Tom Cruise. "Code Monkey" was likely inspired
