So some of yibus might have noticed we are throwing out a big THANKS to Alex this week for all his fabulosity in making this blogosphere for writers feel more like family and less like work. He has made a huge contribution to the friendliness, enthusiasm, and community. So I thought I’d write him a song.
[Note: I've discovered this also serves as evidence that I don't follow directions well, but there you have it]
He’s a music enthusiast, right? But see, I can’t write music. In fact if my daughter is to be believed I can't even sing. But I can BORROW music and write new words, yeah? I thought about a Rush song, but I am not nearly familiar enough with the cadence to get it right, but I decided you really can’t go wrong with
Aerosmith… so here we have it…

Blog This Way (to the tune of
Walk This Way)
Keystroke lover always writin' in the closet
Till you talked to your editor, he say
He said "you can't sell nothin' till you're into socializin
in the media--be a-changin' your ways"
You met some new friends, with advice that never ends
Oh, the times you were oh so close
'Cause the best things of bloggin' spillin something from your noggin
Only started with a little post
The most!

| If we COULD see him, he'd look like this. |
Fingers tappin' with the A to Z crowd
And Kate Beckinsale up on the wall
Singin' "hey diddle diddle"
Ninja kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care
So you took a big test in this giant blogfest
With two hundred folks ready to play
Wasn't them you was foolin'
'Cause you knew what you were doin'
And your blog love was here to stay
When you told us to
Blog this way
Just gimme a post
The most!
Captain ninja with a classy kinda sassy
Air guitar that we just can’t see
There were three new releases coming out next week
When you noticed they was lookin' at you
You were a brand new blogger, never shared a new author
Till your friends told you somethin' you missed
Then my blogroll neighbor with two books had a favor
So you gave her just a little post
The most!
Fingers tappin' with the A to Z crowd
And Kate beckinsale up on the wall
Singin' "hey diddle diddle"
Ninja kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care
So you took a big test in this giant blogfest
With two hundred folks ready to play
Wasn't them you was foolin'
'Cause you knew what you were doin'
And your blog love was here to stay
When you told us to
When you told us how to blog this way, you told us to
[Repeat x8]
Blog this way
Just gimme a post!
[My apologies to Steven Tyler. Call me. I’ll make it up to you.]
