OPRP Episode 006 – 06.11.09
This week’s episode is a unique departure from the traditional dialogue between Pete Codella and Mark Polson.
Mark introduces our listeners to the debut of Pete’s new social media song, Crazy Little Thing the Web.
Pete created the song to share, in a new and creative way, his perspective on the social media craze.
You’re encouraged to share this post and audio file. We’re curious to see the level of interest this generates.
A music video for the song, produced by MultiMediaWise, is scheduled to premiere in a few weeks. Stay tuned for details.
In the meantime . . .
The Online PR Podcast is pleased to introduce Pete Codella of Codella Marketing singing Crazy Little Thing the Web.
Enjoy! (Following an introduction, the song begins at 2:18 in the podcast.)
Crazy Little Thing the Web
Lyrics to a song about social media and the Internet
By Pete Codella, APR
The Internet, you gotta get a handle on it.
You Google, you blog, you tweet, cause you’re hooked on it.
Boss ain’t ready!
How ya gonna help him see?
Social media, it’s hip, it’s even addicting.
It’s hot, it’s cool.
It delivers top notch search placement.
I kinda like it.
Social media’s the bomb.
There goes my phone again.
It’s a Facebook suggestion.
Do you wanna add a friend?
Add a page, become a fan,
Did I really used to date that girl?
I got the fail whale, oh no.
What’s up with the Twitter server?
What are you doing?
Update.
Because I can’t survive without my followers.
I wanna a million!
Like Ashton Kutcher.
I’ve got a YouTube channel
For me, and for my job.
I post the videos online
And I’m hopin’ someday they’ll go viral.
What’s my rating?
Please won’t ya give me five stars.
My LinkedIn profile,
I post an update all the while
Tryin’ to build my connections.
I take a poll and join a group
And I get top search placement.
I gotta new blog
For my dog.
I write as if I’m on all four.
I catch a frisbee and do tricks.
Then I go to Flickr and I post the pix.
I’ve got a Webbie.
I can even post film on Flickr.
Crazy little thing the Web.
Crazy little thing this Web.
Crazy little thing the Web.

so now I can see your Vegas and performer past coming out! Wild!!
Maybe you can get punchy and perform this at Smart Media at the end of your presentation. Maybe the acoustic version? We’ll all be there drinking gourmet root beer and chocolate sodas.
