Lyrics

Wuh wuh wuh WordPress, yo, it’s gonna impress
Your blogging sensibilities and philosophies
So just throw them all out, put your hands in the air
Now wave them all about like you just don’t care

Buh buh buh before you install it, there’s things you gotta know
There’s famous people all around us, so now I gotta sound off
Their names and their games, they got a lot of knowledge
So listen real good cause what I say is solid

There’s LorelleVan Fossen, she’s really kind of awesome
But she’s got a pet peeve and it makes her eyes bleed
When you put up photos of your dog and cat up on your blog
WTF blog clutter, dawg!

There’s Elizabeth Strauss, she’s totally bodacious
Her butt is bootylicious, it’s looking super vicious
If you got something to say go to her open mic night
And if you want an SOB award you gotta do it right

J J Jeff Chandler, yo, he’s got a little secret
He’s secretly in love with me and thinks I’m really manly
He won’t admit it, but, I’ll say he’s kind of cool
He really knows his WordPress stuff so listen up, foo’!

Now look who’s walking by, Vladimir Prelovac
He makes the best plugins, to him we tip our hats
Now if that isn’t cool enough, check this out
He’s the author of a WordPress book, he’s really got our backs

Then there’s Jonathan Bailey, he likes to twitter daily
140 characters is all he needs you ladies
He knows the ins and outs of blogging copyright
“Don’t plagerize,” that’s what he’ll say and we all know he’s right

There’s Matt Mullenweg at MA.TT
He made the WordPress system, he’s superfly you see
He’s always at the WordCamps, his face is really dreamy
Go on and check out all his talks the girls say he is steamy

Then there’s Tara Anderson, she markets for Lijit
She’s really cute and smart to boot, she really knows her -beep!-
If you need a search that will index all your stuff
Call 911-Lijit-to-Go ’cause that will be enough

Say hello to Jane Wells, you’ll see her everywhere
Community shammunity she lays it out to bare
She’s the beacon of light that we can turn to
Volunteers and graphics, that’s what she’ll have us do

And then there’s David Moyer, his name rhymes with lawyer
Something which he should consider cause he likes to talk
Duh duh duh David Moyer, he’s the lead host of WordCast
If you need your weekly Wordpress fix then head there really fast

I’d like to shout out to the read, you know who you are
Keep doing what you’re doing and we will all go far
All the other types of blogs, sleep with one eye open
‘Cause WordPress is the bees’ knees, and all the rest is -beep!-
