(To be sung to "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" by George & Ira Gershwin. If you'd like to sing along, here's a midi link which opens a second window.)
You praise my weblog
And I'll mention your blog.
You link my weblog
And I'll link to your blog
Weblog,
Your blog,
Weblog,
Your blog,
Let's call the whole thing off.
You laud my rampage On Bush's last outrage.
You say I'm so sage,
Go check out my web page.
Rampage,
Outrage,
So sage,
Web page,
Let's call the whole thing off.
But oh, if we call the whole thing off, our links will break.
And oh, if we ever part, our stats a plunge will take.
I note my traffic
Has surged. It's terrific.
I count each page click
And curse those who leave quick.
Traffic,
Terrific,
Page click,
Leave quick,
Let's call the whole thing off.
I praise your good taste
And flatter you posthaste.
You mention my thanks,
Your entry is quote-laced,
Good taste,
Posthaste,
My thanks,
Quote-laced,
Let's call the whole thing off.
But oh, if we call the whole thing off, our links will break.
And oh, if we ever part, our stats a plunge will take.
Then comes a long lull,
So you pick a quarrel.
You say my point's bull
And add that my site's dull.
Long lull,
Quarrel,
Point's bull,
Site's dull,
Let's call the whole thing off.
I act insulted
And miffed and revolted.
But I'm real exultant,
My stats have catapulted.
Insulted,
Revolted,
Exultant,
Catapulted.
Don't call the whole thing off.
No, never call the whole thing off.
