Blog Love (Songs)

I recently discovered a few songs about blogging. As a thank you to the wonderful people I’ve met through my blog, I’d like a share a few of them today.

Most of them are rewrites of existing songs, motivated by the hope of cashing in on the phenomenon. And some are a little whiny—like the one from the Backstreet Boys, “As Long As you Comment”. We all enjoy getting comments, but I’d be too embarrassed to ASK for them. You have to have a little blog pride. I’m sure you know this one, so I’ll only share a few lines:

I don't care who you are,
Where you're from,
What you did,
As long as you comment.

See what I mean? It sounds a little needy. You may have missed the blog song from Barry White, who jumped on the band wagon just before he passed away in 2003. Here are the lyrics from, “Can’t Get Enough of Your Blog, Yeah.”

I've heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, bloggers.
But I don't know about that.
As many times as we've posted,
And we've read posts and shared posts.
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough.
It's not enough, bloggers. It's just not enough.
etc., etc., etc. (edited--it was too long)

Rest in peace Mr. White and thank you for expressing what so many of us feel about blogging.

Ahahahaha! Okay, so there are no such songs. But the blogging community IS pretty great.

Welcome to 2012! I’m not sure what to expect this year. One Pisces horoscope said, “No longer can you deny how truly empathic and sensitive you are.” And another read, “Control your temper since it is the only thing which can cause you trouble.” I’m not thrilled about either. We’ll see what happens. =)
