Last week I linked "David Pogue's":http://www.davidpogue.com/ hilarious "Ode to the R.I.A.A.":http://mog.com/mickimicki/blog_post/40679. Pogue, for those who don't know him, is a technology/computer columnist for the NYT. 
Lately however he seems to have found a new calling as a lyricist... because this week, instead of his usual tech-related views and gadget reviews, he dropped yet another killer lyric that I'm sure MANY of you moggers can relate to. It's called *"I Got YouTube"*, and the melody this time is, you might have guessed already, "I Got You Babe".So, (test, 1, 2, test) get your best voices ready and sing with all your heart:*They say we're young, don't watch TV;They say the Internet is all we see.But that's not true; they've got it wrong.See, all our shows are just two minutes long...Hey...I got YouTube. I got YouTube.They say Gen X won't follow news,The New York Times can only stand to lose!If all the papers go away,How will we learn the stories of the day?Dude-We got YouTube. We got YouTube.I got movie parodies...Funny ads from overseas...Webcams of kids! On air guitar!Anything funny, all messed up, or bizarre!(Key change!)So let them say Google overpaid;I say they got the better of the trade.Just throw your HDTV aside-The future's on a screen three inches wide...Yay! I got YouTube-Make that GooTube!I can watch "The Daily Show"...Just the parts I need to know!Lots of music, lots of laughs,Politicans' latest gaffes,LonelyGirls and music vids,Cameraphones and "Star Wars" kids!Copyrights get stomped a bit,But kids my age don't give a-..uh, care a whit!Dude!I got YouTube.I got YouTube. I got YouTube.*
