The Lyrics
I'm sure this is how the whole phenomenon started...and why no one else should continue this trend. Original Song
I work for a comp’ny, for a comp’ny, for a comp’ny
Everyday is like the one before…
My life, it’s so boring, it’s so boring, it’s so boring
I don’t know what to do anymore
Sit near my computer, my computer, my computer
Just trying to entertain myself
I just need to let go, need to let go, need to let go
I have an idea, feel impelled...
I will walk right past Barb
And I’ll make a work of art
Sit down, then I press start
A copy of my, copy of my
Oh man, it’s so much fun
On the desk of everyone
So they all can see my bum...
A copy of my, copy of my
I am such a genius, such a genius, such a genius
Now I know what to do ev’ryday
And all I know for certain, know for certain, know for certain
That no one’s gonna know that it was me!
Dozens now coat the walls
Even in bathroom stalls!
Your computer desktop
A copy of my, copy of my
Co-workers see and run
Their eyeballs must surely burn
My boss don’t know who to warn
A copy of my, copy of my
Sent one to the Mayor, to the Mayor, to the Mayor
Even put one on a billboard too!
“He begs for attention, for attention, for attention”
No one knows who the butt belongs to
I bought my own Xerox
Even do this at my house
Leave them on the sidewalks
A copy of my, copy of my
I do all this just for fun
Don’t mean to hurt anyone
I can’t be the only one
A copy of my, copy of my
(Then my stomach just dropped)
Then my stomach just dropped
(Looks like I’m not too smart)
Looks like I’m not too smart
(Something that I forgot)
Something that I forgot
The copy of my, copy of my, copy of my, copy of my...
(Way back when, college year one)
Way back when, college year one
(Oh man, I was really drunk)
Oh man, I was really drunk
(I thought that it would be fun)
But I must really dumb...
Name tattoo on my, tattoo on my, tattoo on my, TATTOO ON MY!
Everyday is like the one before…
My life, it’s so boring, it’s so boring, it’s so boring
I don’t know what to do anymore
Sit near my computer, my computer, my computer
Just trying to entertain myself
I just need to let go, need to let go, need to let go
I have an idea, feel impelled...
I will walk right past Barb
And I’ll make a work of art
Sit down, then I press start
A copy of my, copy of my
Oh man, it’s so much fun
On the desk of everyone
So they all can see my bum...
A copy of my, copy of my
I am such a genius, such a genius, such a genius
Now I know what to do ev’ryday
And all I know for certain, know for certain, know for certain
That no one’s gonna know that it was me!
Dozens now coat the walls
Even in bathroom stalls!

This is a great parody of a traditional gag. I liked it, never heard the original song before. It must be one of their brand new ones. Still this was pretty fantastic, you sick pervert! lol
I hope this parody shoots to the moon, such as the Xerox machine did to yours.Well done.
(Artistry) Took a classic prank and brought it to a strange new level. Props sir, props. Autobiographical? LOL!
(Artistry) The OS sounded more like Kraftwek than NIN, but that's just me. No butts about it, this was fantastic! 555!
Gotta love the way things works like this, good take on this sort of thing.
Amazing, was listening to the original and reading along and burst out laughing when I realized where it was going! :D
See above (itself a copy of...well...)
Great job making a whole song about this. Again...can't wait for the video :)
(ABC) See above!
(ABC) See above
Good use of this OS. I wouldn't know what to do. ANd funny gag, taken to the extreme. Liked the twist at the end.
Could have beavis n butthead and Bart Simpson in the video
