My song about iPhones and Twitter

To the tune of HI-HO, HI-HO, IT'S OFF TO WORK WE GO from SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DRARVES by DISNEY

(tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AkKnLMELo)

FOUR "DWARVES" PRESENT

ALL
We tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet on the web the whole day through
To tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet is what we like to do
DWARF 1:
Stuck in Iran? Well here's the plan
Can tweet around the Facebook ban
DWARF 2:
Got a fine? Need to whine? Tell the world, get on-line,
Fit your message in a line

We tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet from early morn till night
We tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet 'bout every bit of shite
DWARF 3
I tweet to strangers and my mates
DWARF 1
He tells us when he masturbates
ALL
We tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet
We tweet tweet tweet-a tweet tweet
DWARF 3
(SADLY) But when I'm out, I can't update
How will I communicate?

DWARF 4 RUNS ON WITH AN iPHONE

DWARF 4:
i-Phone, i-Phone
i-Phone, i-Phone
i-Phone

(THEY ALL CROWD ROUND THE IPHONE AND HOLD IT ALOFT)

ALL:
i-Phone, I-Phone
Will change your life you know
DWARF 4:
You can download apps for all sorts of crap
Like how, much to pay for a meal
If you, can't split the cost in two
DWARF 2:
Take your machine and tap the screen
And soon, you'll know
DWARF 1:
It's the height of chic
If you're a geek
I-Phone, iPhone

'Hi ho' = "i-phone" is clever, but I suspect that some are going to struggle to recognise the first part of the song, and in the second part you have strayed a long way from the original lyrics, which are basically just "hi ho".

Hmm maybe you're right. Could do a snippets-style Disney medley about technology.

The second part I just replaced the whistling with words to the same tune. Thought that's a legit technique
