Topless Robot Is Proud to Present “Love Is Lasagna,” the Real Actual Song
Many talked about it, but Topless Roboteer John Mapes (well, he and his cover band Lasagna Cigarette) did it — he brought “Love Is Lasagna,” the epic song penned and performed by Garfield in ShakespeareHemmingway’s equally epic fan fic “Royal Rescue 2,” to life. What’s more amazing is that he did really, phenomenally well, too. There’s absolutely nothing I can say that can adequately convey the magnificence of this moment, so I’ll just shut up and let you know that after you’ve listened to its glory, you can download the song here.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
