I Blog Alone
Tue, 15 Aug 06

Regular readers (that'd be, like, two or three people, right? I'm under no illusions here...) will know I'm a bit of a Green Day fan. They'll also know I'm definitely a fan of parody and satire. And of blogging.

Imagine, then, my delight to come across a parody of Green Day that's about blogging with no readers! My new anthem! Woohoo!

Well, okay, maybe not an anthem, but still extremely amusing. Listen to I Blog Alone (MP3) for yourself. Perhaps you'll find it as amusing as I did.

(For your reading convienience, the lyrics:)

I spill my guts online
At live dot home dot blog my name dot com
No one hits my site
But it's home to me and I blog alone

I dish out brilliant quotes
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves me notes?
Yes, I'm the only one and I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog a-

I work all
Day to make the Web admire me
It's not my
Job; if my boss knew, she'd fire me
That's fine; the
New York Times would beg to hire me
Till then I
BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og
Bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og

I mock celebrities,
Politics and sports and TV shows
Then I Google me
And hope it links to where I blog alone

I can't sleep at night
Even on vacation far from home
I pull up my site
To know I'm still online and I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog alone

I blog alone
I blog a-

My only
Friends are avatars and smileys
I humbly
Post my views then praise them highly
Some day I'll
Sell my soul like Bill O'Reilly
Till then I
BLOG ALONE

Bla-ah, bla-ah, bla-ah, blah-og
Bla-ah, bla-ah

I blog alone
I blog alone

I unmask media lies
On the blogger board of broken links
Guess who leaves replies?
Yes, I'm the only one and I blog alone

Hey, look, they
Praised me in the News on Sunday
My site got
Thirteen million hits in one day
Okay, I
Lied, but that could happen some day
Till then I
BLOG ALONE
