Day 7: Gotta Digg!

Welcome Diggers!! Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did making it :)

Come see the public debut of "Gotta Digg" at my show on Thursday December 27th in Los Angeles! It's at The Mint, 7:50PM, $8 cover, 21+. I would love to see fellow diggers there!



Digg!

**A note to Digg users [link]**
=========
Don't forget to go to www.crashthesuperbowl.com to vote for me! (You have to login to MySpace to vote...urk...but it's worth it!) There's just one week left! Leave a comment if you vote so I know who to thank! :)

Oh the things that go down in the Grannis household...

"Gotta Digg"

When I’m feeling lazy, at school or when I work
I sneak to my computer, and then I like to shirk
I don’t go online shopping, I don’t email with my mom
I open up my browser, and go to digg-dot-com

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!

I always dig up Apple, and I bury Microsoft
But when I said I was a girl, all the diggers scoffed
And when I see those stories about Senator Ron Paul
I don't even RTFA; I just digg them all!

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!

The fanboys can be tiresome, they always are outspoken
And if you’re listening Kevin Rose, the comment system’s broken!
I know digg isn’t perfect, but be thankful for what we’ve got
It’s just like daddy always says: “At least it’s not Slashdot!!!”

Chorus: Gotta digg, gotta digg, gotta digg
Gotta make this story big!
Did you hear that awful sound?
Another server’s down!


** Thank you diggers for the correction-- Representative Ron Paul, not Senator. That sure is a lot of syllables to sing, though...**
-----------------

In other news, the show at the Irvine Spectrum was awesome again today! I had so much fun. I can't believe the voting process is almost halfway done.... ahh!!


danke.

Instead of "representative", you could use "congressman" which still has the same amount of syllables as "senator" and I think would still be technically correct if I'm not mistaken. Just a suggestion, great song ladies!

Beautiful voice, delivery, fun topic, great lyrics, nice background vox, great guitar chops ....

I noticed "Senator" also right away, but you don't have to say representative, you could say Congressman Ron Paul, and keep it at 3 syllables.

Very nice, but Dr. Paul is a Congressman, not a Senator. No worries though, both words are three syllables, so it should be an easy adjustment :)

That Slashdot bit isn't nice. I love my Slashdot. The news is more focused and tends to be of higher quality without the 10 year old flamewars of Digg. Don't get me wrong; I read Digg too, but quite honestly, /. is the first tab I open, the OSNews, then Digg.

Don't hate on the site that really is the reason Digg could have worked.
