In honour of my brand new sofa (which comes with minutely detailed illustrations showing how to put a cushion cover on a cushion) I bring you - in a fearsome testosterone-laden battle of the singer-songwriters - not one but two songs about IKEA!
In the red corner we have Mitch Benn, BBC troubadour, with his metal anthem:
And in the blue corner we have the awesome sounds of Jonathan "Code Monkey" Coulton:
Let the Flatpack Frenzy commence!

Godspeed. I wish you all the parts you need! And that everything goes on righsideup the first time round!
Ahahah, rhyming Norsemen with divorced men is good. Depressing, but good :)
I've always thought IKEA was sexy (all those groovy little bedrooms), and I was pleased to discover some time back that another author had written IKEA erotica!
There's a Canadian songstress, Nancy White, who penned a little ditty for her album "Momnipotent." In the song her life is great until she goes to IKEA to buy a futon.
The name of the song is "Everything Turned to Rat Shit in My Life"
ps - My website is up! Come see me and my writer pals at telltale.ca and enter to win autographed books from me, Felix Baron, Laurie Clayton and Michael Crawley.

Thank you! I created it using a Mad Men online tool. I don't actually watch the show, but I love early-sixties aesthetics and was delighted to find that they had my nose, chin, and hat in stock.
Oh yes, Danielle: IKEA candles ... and houseplants (though i manage to kill those) ...
I always wanted one of those bunkbeds they do with a double bed on top - I mean, how awesome is that for adults who refuse to grow up? But alas, you need a room with about 20ft of ceiling clearance.
