Songs about posting

[BP]

Fuck Gato's thread, I came up with it first and he's plagiarized my idea.

In this thread you post song lyrics about posting. I did this while drunk on the way home from vacation with my family when I heard the Offspring's "You're gonna go far kid" song play in my earbuds. So, here I am sharing this posting trope with you!

Listen to the song first than post the chorus of the song so we can sing along to it in the correct tempo and beat.


Kenny Rodgers "the poster"

"You've got to know when to post em, know when to quote away, and know when to run. You never count your reacts when you're sitting in smogoff, They'll be time enough for counting when the infractions done"

a long, long time ago
i can still remember how that forum used to make me smile
and i knew if i had my chance
that i could make those people dance
and maybe they'd be happy for a while

but firebot made me feel defeat
with every shitpost i'd delete
bad news in the stickies
i couldn't take one more thread

i can't remember if i cried
when i read about that feature cast aside
but something touched me deep inside
the day the liking died

oh, bye, bye, my like count so high
cried to RODAN for a throwdown but he's one big guy
and them shitposters will no more come by
singin' "without likes, why even try?
"without likes, why even try?"

did you make it into greatest hits
and do you scour qdb for the best bits
if the admins tell you so?
now do you believe in badge incentives?
can pixels keep posters inventive?
and can you teach me how to post good posts?

well, i know that you're a xenu alt
'cause i saw your posts so full of salt
you both share an ip
man, it's all fine by me

i was just one of firebot's sons
with a mod badge and two alums
but i just twiddled my thumbs
the day the liking died

oh, bye, bye, my like count so high
cried to RODAN for a throwdown but he's one big guy
and them shitposters will no more come by
singin' "without likes, why even try?
"without likes, why even try?"

now for ten years smogon had no likes
just luvdiscs, stars, and no gripes
and that's how it used to be
when v ran that big like exchange
people'd bitch and moan that nothing changed
more fuss than it's worth, if you ask me

oh, and while v slept one normal day
the admins stole his power away
the like exchangers mourned
but their protests were scorned

and while jynx shouted to the throng
"this'd never fly in hong kong!"
no likes for mao zedong
the day the liking died

oh, bye, bye, my like count so high
cried to RODAN for a throwdown but he's one big guy
and them shitposters will no more come by
singin' "without likes, why even try?
"without likes, why even try?"

Mr. Mod by Lonestar

Oh yeah!
got my mods, came home mad,
Got a congrats and a react yea "That's too bad."
they said,
"I can go to post until
You loss your mod"
Ha, I thought,
I like the sound of that,
Watch IS and take long naps
Go from a hard-working poster
To being Mr. Mod,
Well,
Posters melt when you lock their thread,
joke blows up an go to far
lock an OI thread for the 15 time,
locks at six, posts at nine,
Theres a shitposter in cong
another OI thread in smogoff
Been crazy all day long,
And it's only Monday-
Mr. Mod!
