It’s nice to start a Monday morning with a bit of a laugh, and what better way to have a laugh today than with this song.
If you’re a Twitter user, the lyrics will make you smile. Wry humour by songwriter Ben Walker that shows some insight into this social micro-blogging networking online world that many people inhabit (me included).

It’s also worth reading the lyrics, too. That will add to your smiles.
And in defining the geeky audience at which Ben says he’s targeting the Twitter song, he says:
[…] Lucky for me, I’m a card-carrying geek and I love writing quirky pop songs about geeky things. So I have a chance at internet superstardom. Now, if only I had a breakthrough hit song that was guaranteed to go hyperviral the second it hits the Twitterverse…
Holy cow! I just recorded a song about Twitter! I bet that would work!
Works for me, Ben!
Rumour has it that Ben Walker will be playing the song at the Harvest Twestival – have a look at http://www.twestival.com for more info!
I still have 3 friends (yes, count them: 3) who refuse to be on facebook on-principle (and, therefore, are pretty much be default completely clueless/confused about twitter) …
I guess I just don’t understand why one wouldn’t want to take advantage of what(ever) the internet
has to offer human existence, no matter how silly it may initially seem…

I’ve only been “somebody” for a few weeks, but this song did, indeed, make me smile. It will become part of my first response to the question, “What is Twitter?”
