Folk song containing vital wisdom for Internet users

Jonathan sez, "I've been writing a song every day in the month of January, for the Fun-A-Day-In-The-Bay Art project. My 10th song is about the internet. It contains the line: 'The internet is a less than physical space containing a multitude of varying opinions on a wide variety of topics written by monkeys.' Enjoy!"

That's some serious goddamn wisdom.

Song # 10! “3 Rules of the Internet”

"Give a monkey a brain, and he'll swear he's the center of the universe."

A guy named Jonathan writing a song a day? Sounds familiar.

I think this is the bestest truest thing I've seen in awhile.

That was so good I don't know if I should propose to you are give you a death threat.

So I will just say really nice cause if I said it was bad then I guess you would call me an asshole and I don't want you to hate me.

Woof.

Honestly the song wasn't that great and he probably shouldn't count on becoming a superstar singer or anything but it was cute and silly so that makes it ok in my book. It had moments of humor and a lot of truth in it so I give the guy props. It's hard to write a song every single day!

I believe the sentiment was expressed decades ago in the (in)famous phrase, "Fandom is just a goddam hobby", also written FIJAGH.

Outrage! OUTRAAAAGE! I am appalled by the lack of *blah blah blah* and he really wasn't that great because *blah blah blah* but I suppose I can kneel down and pat his head, in a sense, because *blah blah blah* and Bush said so but it was an inside job *blah blah blah* haz cheezburger.

Now imagine boobs. Okay, now imagine something useful, like how to change a tire or how to get stubborn stains out of your shirt.

That's it. You just experienced the entire internet. You can log off now.

I liked the song.

Must...resist... urge to edit... Wikipedia entry for "Internet"...

I thought it was a nice song considering everything. I wonder how long he'll keep this up?

[#15 posted by sswaan , January 11, 2009 5:39 PM]

Brilliant. Plus, nice way to end a song...calling your listeners/viewers scholars and kings. Smart man.

This was quite amusing. Kudos.

Before I saw the guy, I assumed it was Jonathan Coulton. I liked it though it was let down by who it was.

I believe this man goes by the tag "Game Jew." He writes songs about games, Nintendo games mostly.

Steve Allen wrote a song every day. Every day.

But he actually had some hits.

Kinda does sum it up.

I suddenly have a strange urge to fling poo.

My take on the internet + video games + TV is:
"Raster isn't reality."

How about a clever song about people who sing songs deriding others that they've written themselves and post on video sharing sites?
