I thought I should post this, because of the Twitter Comedy gig tonight. For those not following, here is probably the gem of the night. Mitch Benn's "Bohemian Rhapsody" Twitter song lyrics.
Is this the real life?
No its the twitterverse
Life in short bursts of
Just one-forty characters
Stay in your house
And click on your mouse and seeee
There is no need for actual activity…
Because it's easy come, easy go,
Follow or Un-follow
Anyway the topics trend,
Doesn't really matter to me, to me (bong bong bong etc.)
Mama, I'm twittering
And I'm feeling slightly crazed
Been online for six straight days
Mama, life is almost gone
I haven't even got up for a wee
Mama ooo-oo-oo-ooooo,
You might want to get some help
If I still haven't moved this time tomorrow
Twitter on, twitter on, as if nothing really matters
(bong bong bong bong BONG bong BONG bong…)
Too late, I've wet myself
Sends shivers down my legs
Boots are catching all the dregs
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
I can always use my iPhone on the lav
Mama ooo-oooo-oo- (send out for a pi-zza)
I don't want to tweet,
I sometimes wish I'd never logged on at all…
(Go Brian!)
(Still Brian!)
(here comes the opera section, darlings!) dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
I see a little grainy twitpic of a man
SCARAMOUCHE SCARAMOUCHE WILL YOU START A NEW HASHTAG
#lyricsthathavegota-referencetodoctor-WHO
Gallifrey-o Gallifrey-o
Gallifrey-o Gallifrey-o
Gallifrey-o and Skar-o PUNTASTIC-OOOO-OOO
I'm just a dull boy no-one re-tweets me
HE IS JUST A DULL BOY WITH A SMALL FOLLOWING
LET'S BLOCK HIM AND-STAMP ON HIS-BLACKBERRY
I am not on TV, will you follow me?
BISMILLAH NO! WE WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU
Follow me! BISMILLAH! WE WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU
Follow me! BISMILLAH! WE WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU
WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU (follow me!) NEVER NEVER NEVER FOLLOW YOU-OO-OOO
NO NO NO NO NO NO
Directmessage directmessage directmessage let me go
And @neilhimself has a devil on a shelf for me, for me, for meeee…(headbang NOW)
NER ner ner ner ne-neddler NER ner ner neddler-ner (etc.)
So you think you can spam me and twit in my eye
So you think you can love me and not @stephenfry
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby,
Just gotta log out-just gotta log right outta here
(NER ner ner ner ne-neddler etc.)
(take it down, Brian…)
No-one really twitters
Anyone can see
No-one really twitters
No-one really twitters, to me…
(This is where the gong goes....) bonggggggg
