The Blogger Man
The mind works in mysterious ways. Which might help explain why I started singing the Billy Joel song Piano Man in the shower on Friday morning (even though I probably haven't heard it in years), and then quickly transposed my own lyrics appropriate for the Northern Alliance of Blogs. The following is the product of five hours of sleep and is pure silliness. No offense should be taken by those included or excluded from it.
It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
The regular bloggers log in
There's Mitch Berg at Shot In The Dark
Not really sure where to begin
He says, "Saint Paul, can I borrow your material?
Everything that I've got really blows
Make it topical and neat 'cause I know I can't compete
With your wit and sharp stylin' clothes"
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
Blog us a post, you're the blogger man
Blog us a post tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a butchery
And man you're Fiskin's so tight
Now Hugh on the air is a friend of mine
He gets me my plugs for free
And he's quick with a query or to light up your theory
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Elder, I believe this is killing me."
As the Botox drained out of his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a Salsa dancin' star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Atomizer is a tongue tied architect
Who finally found himself a wife
And he's bloggin' with Elder who's still in his Ma's cellar
And probably will be for life
And the Captain is practicing politics
As the law talking guys set the tone
Yes, they're sharing a blog they call Power Line
But it's better than bloggin' alone
Chorus
It's a pretty good Bleat for a Wednesday
And the King throws him a link
'Cause he knows that's the Screed they've been comin' to read
To see how the better men think
And the Gnat, she sounds like a carnival
And a door knock causes Jasper to fear
As Lileks raises the bar, they put bread in his tip jar
And say, "James, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus
