OK, I don't usually do this... at all

[gnomi]

"This" being song parody. Or, at least, not in public.

But... last night in a chat I was on, somehow (and, no, this isn't a request for the conversation to be reconstructed) the phrase "F-List on the Roof" got bandied about (I think it was cbpotts who used it).

And my brain wouldn't let it go.

(and, yeah, I know my rhyme scheme is nonexistent. Such is life.)

Thus, I bring you what is likely to be the only song from said musical:


F-List on the Roof -- Tradition

Who day and night must scramble for some subtext
Find the hidden spoilers
Share the posted pix
And who has the scoop
On all upcoming shows
Where favorite actors will appear?

The fangirls! The fangirls!
Tradition!

Who must know the way to make a proper post
A learned post
A weighty post
Who must run communities and other sites
So we're all free to read the posted texts?

The thinkers! The thinkers!
Tradition!

At three I posted lots of memes
At ten I posted jokes
I should have four or five posts more
I hope you comment.

The post hos! The post hos!
Tradition!

And who does all the work
To keep the traffic smooth
To make sure LJ stays up
So we can read and post?

The techies! The techies!
Tradition!
