LiveJournal .... the song!
Nick Yonce, [info]nickrock, wrote to me awhile back asking if we'd sue him or something if his band Mirrors On Shoes did a song about LiveJournal. I laughed and said of course not, but I'd love to hear it if they did do it....

Well, it's done: [Download MP3]

I'm not sure if it's the coolest thing or sickest thing ever. Maybe both. :-) Anyway, enjoy!

Mirrors on Shoes .... you guys rock. Thanks. :-)

LYRICS
Turned on my computer, and what did i see?
my livejournal client staring back at me.
your my friend I'll add you to my list,
according to my current mood i'm pissed
as i'm currently listening to some song that's really "emo"

There are some things that you've got to know

on Live Journal, Live Journal
Chronicle your uncle's heart attack
on Live Journal, Live Journal
Making fun of your friend behind their back
on Live Journal

Customize your settings, and your profile
Click refresh a thousand times, this might take awhile
upload some pictures of your cat
and let the whole world know that you can't be ignored

all of this and more

On Live Journal, Live Journal
Mirrors on Shoes is back in full effect
On Live Journal, Live Journal
Find some new friends to infect (with live journal)

Some kids have blogs or diaryland,
for reasons i can't understand
scribble couldn't hold a candle to a livejournal paid account
what more can i say, or is that it?
besides the fact that LJ's the whip
It's time for me to log-out

There's one more thing that you've got to know

On Live Journal, Live Journal
Making fun of your friends behind their back
On Live Journal, Live Journal
Chronicle your gerbils heart attack

On Live Journal....So Live...So Journal...
L-I-V-E J-O-U-R-N-A-L

Live Journal, Live Journal
Making fun of your friends behind their back
On Live Journal, Live Journal
Find some new friends to infect....
With Live Journal.

It sucked, plain and easy. They're a horrible band and deserve some sort of punishment... I say we throw them out of whatever country they're in. That's just Nzo being nice...

Song diffenetly rocks!

Only probably is like [info]evan said It's hard to hear the lyrics. I forget who said it but one of the things you dont want to do if you plan on making it is say "it comes with a lyric sheet".

I always prefer if I can't understand all the lyrics in a song the first time though... after listening to it a bunch you keep getting more out of it.

Maybe we should start a pool? Closest person wins ... the admiration of their leet estimation skills from their peers? heh

Hah, that song's pretty cool... even though it is hard to hear the lyrics the first time, but, eh, that's almost any song that's not pop-y.

Best part was that it was a superfast download... yay for Speakeasy and LJ going through the same place!

Is it just the music genre that makes it feel like the singer is at the top (or out) of his vocal range? I like the music, but agree with those saying the words are a little difficult to catch. Excellent effort and very catchy. =)

I found myself tapping to the rhythm. I like the guitar rift or whatever that is that's repetitive in the background. And an hour later, the refrain is still in my head. My brother is shaking his head and saying I'm obsessed. I read it all day, MUST i sing it as well? :)

Not bad, not bad at all. Talk about LOL for the day. I say make a midi and permanently place it somewhere in the site. Sort of like LJ karaoke. ;)

(See, even my icon is dancing.)

Whoever is hosting the song, good luck. I got cut off at 1.5 megs and decided to take it easy on the servers. I have heard enough to give me last song syndrome. ;)
