While I was in the Lake District of England (Windermere specifically)
on the evening of Monday, March 28, 2005, I was flipping through the
channels and saw a hilarious pseudo-documentary regarding IKEA. It
involved a themesong with the refrain "IKEA!!!" sung by a Viking in an
IKEA parking lot. Some of the humour involved testimonies to IKEA's
products (like the couple who attested to the fact that a large
percentage of British babies are concieved in IKEA beds) or the
addictive appeal of the stores. I cannot find a trace of this
programme, and I'm extremely curious about any information regarding
it. Could you perhaps give me the name of the programme and/or a link
to a place where I could view it or buy it?

I suspect that the song was probably Jonathan Coulton's "IKEA."

Actually, it isn't the Jonathan Coulton version. It's much more
"powerful." It's like, more sort of violent, almost. The viking is
belting out "IKEA!!!!!"
