The Mountain Goats é o projeto musical do canto/compositor e guitarrista John Darnielle. A revista The New Yorker referiu a ele como "Melhor compositor não-hip-hop da América". No artigo de junho de 2006, revista Paste nominou Darnielle um dos "100 melhores compositores ao vivo". As letras de Darnielle são literais e repletas com imaginário com referências da literatura clássica, religião e mitologia, cultura pop, arte, e história. Outros possuem vagas referências ao seu padrasto

GAm we were drinking colorado bulldogs GAm when inspiration struck GAmC and we knew it was high time CD for us to change our own luck
GAm we cracked a couple coca colas open GAm mixed them up with vodka and some coffee liqueur GAm poured in some cold milk, raised our glasses high to old friends CD my love for you is 98 percent pure.
CG but the 2 percent that remains CD has fried the circuits in my brain.
GAm I got out my smoking jacket GAm you put on some fishnets and your smart black beret, GAm we cut quite a figure in the mirror CD and then we were on our way.
GAm Oh would that you would kiss me GA with the kisses of your mouth. GAm Cause your mouth is sweeter than wine and has CD a more complicated history than the american south

GAm we went down to pete brown chevrolet, GAm cause pete brown satisfy all your new car needs. GAm we were nicely oiled by then CD our internal transponders picking up satellite feeds
GAm from well worn ancient places. GAm our eager young sales rep handed us the keys GAm we drove about 3 quarters of a mile, CD all that's left for us now are moments like these.
CG we parked behind the high school away from the light CD and the flames climbed high into the night...
