Ben and Mena
I was going through some entries in an old blog I have, scrapping out posts of value for a new project that I hope launch soon, and came across this old chestnut.
Released by in 2003, the song has been tagged as the first “Blogging Anthem”
Here are the lyrics. I’ve included a few hints for folks that may not get the jokes.
Blank page, nothin’ to say
Just pictures of my cats today
Thought about the war a bunch
Now let me tell you what I had for lunchBoys all hate me, my girlfriend dumped me
They’re bombing Iraq, my oatmeal’s lumpy
Wi-Fi networks in Central Park
Funny Photoshops up on Fark(Chorus)
I wanna be Ben, I wanna be Mena
If only for a moment or two
I wanna be Cory, I’ll even be Winer
If that’s what I gotta doI wanna be Ben, I wanna be Mena
The master of my domain
So send me a ping, send me a trackback
I promise I won’t complainReferers say no-one came today…
That perfect link I hope to find
Check MetaFilter for the 40th time
I left a comment, I hope you see
How this issue pertains to meSemantic web, RSS, and e-mail
Single white guy seeks athletic female
I’m busy building the digital commons
Cook me up another bowl of ramen(Alt. Chorus)
I wanna be Ben, I wanna be Mena
If only for a moment or two
I wanna be Haughey, I’ll even be Stile
If that’s what I gotta doI wanna be Ben, I wanna be Mena
The master of my domain
So send me a ping, send me a trackback
I promise I won’t complainReferers say no-one came today…
Not sure who Stile is. Anyone know?
