The Lyrics
So I've been messing around on www.okcupid.com a bit recently, when I get bored. It's a fun site. I wasn't expecting anything out of it except temporary relief from boredom, but I actually got *whoo*d a couple weeks ago, from a girl who turned out to be basically what I was describing in (note: spam) my earlier parody "Ubergeek," and we have hit it off (in a purely platonic sense, mind) since then. Then, less than a week later we started talking about the internet in my required English-type core class, and between the two of those things, this song just randomly popped into my head. Note, especially to previously-mentioned girl if she happens to be checking out my website and comes upon this, that *all* I took from actual life was the broadest of ideas. I am *not* actually an obsessive loser-type, I promise ;-).
We've never met
She's some kind of internet stranger
I play a dwarvish rogue,
She plays an elvish ranger.
If you're smart then I'll love you so,
So much more than the girls I know
In real life.
I'll find romance with an internet stranger
I looked up your profile
And my world came tumbling down
Every geekish male's prize
That's why I'm posting this song
To AIM is to love you
You're nobody I know
You set my heart aglow
I'll message you and be right with you
Won't go out for no beer,
We'll play Starcraft all night
Dah - dah - dah - de dah - de - dah - de dah dah dah - dah - dum
Internet stranger
Dah - dah - dah - de dah - de - dah - de dah dah dah - dah - dum
Internet stranger
Yeah, she might be a guy but hey,
Then we'll be best friends anyway,
Haven't you heard,
I'll take my chance with this internet stranger
I grokked your int'rest page
My heart was dancing all over the place
There's just one thing I'd change in you -
Wish we could meet in real life too!
To AIM is to love you
You're nobody I know
You set my heart aglow
I read your list of books
And I knew that fate had us down
Apple of my quasi-eye
It seems like ages since you said "woo!"
To AIM you is to love you
We'll play lots of net games
Wish I knew your real name
My last bit of "cool" died
Who cares, I've got no pride
Dah - dah - dah - de dah - de - dah - de dah dah dah - dah - dum
Internet stranger
Dah - dah - dah - de dah - de - dah - de dah dah dah - dah - dum
Internet stranger
She's some kind of internet stranger
I play a dwarvish rogue,
She plays an elvish ranger.
If you're smart then I'll love you so,

Really good parody! 5's
April SOTM--DKTOS, but cute song.455
April SOTM - pretty clever!
Aww, how cute. neminem, I hope your new love hasn't had menimen ;) The opening of the parody was funny, and I haven't seen this concept done before. 5-5-4
Did you not miss the "in a purely platonic sense"? Thanks for the comment... "cute"... right. Wait. 5/5/4? How exactly does that work? Oh yeah, and thanks Agrimorfee, Johnny and especially Adagio.
I hope the non-Heinlein fans understand what "grokked" is. More warm than funny .
:)
Very good idea, and a sad reality for some
Nice job!
Awwwww! This one made me smile! :-)
Ah, here it is. I forgot who wrote this parody as it was always in the back of my mind writing 'Hitting on EmiLoca', a sort of inspiration. I can 5-5-4 if I feel that the overall product isn't worthy of a 5 even if it is funny and has good pacing. I do believe that is why we are able to click whatever score we find fit.
Neminem, you have improved immeasurably on Madonna...
I grokked this one!
Very good, and thanks for providing the original.
Very very good, Nem. And as Pip noted, quite an improvement over the original.
Oh no - YOU'RE the "dwarvish rogue" I've been staying up all night playing Starcraft with? Jeez. I only "whoo"d you because I thought you were a girl PRETENDING to be a guy. Oh, I'm so embarrassed.
(ABC) this is your best song I've read. 5s from me.
(ABC) Really liked this parody a lot! 5's
SOTM - Cute, in a kinda cool way. 5's
(ABC) my April '04 SOTM vote still stands.455
(ABC) See above.
Good song. I'd put more but it's like 1:30 in the morning.
Couldn't find the original, but this reads through pretty well anyway. Cute premise, well executed. :-)
great subject ... really well written... enjoyed this one a lot (it is a bit like my entry for the Gs)
Nem, excellent idea for the song (and the song was good as well). One of the top in the "F"s
Yep, plenty do find internet strangers... and live to regret it
