House musician Jonathan Coulton leads a music parody game on Ask Me Another at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York.

In this music parody game, songs by The Cure are rewritten to be about things that were touted as having health benefits, with no science to back up their claims.

Heard on Julio Torres: My Favorite Espooky.
