The Highly Unofficial Second Life Song thread

(Picture Sinclair sitting at a piano in a sleazy nightclub… sultry redhead sitting atop the piano - any volunteers? )

“We’ve gone through a lot over the last few months… and we’re all hoping that things will get better as v1.2 arrives… But in the meantime, I’ll tell you a tale… not really about anyone in particular, but about many characters who I’m sure we’ve all met at one time or another…

And now, for this next number... let's introduce the Second Life Band!:

Trent Reznor
Tex Ritter
Ice Cube
- and our very special guests... the Tubes...

Everyone sing along now..."

(Sung to the tune of Barry Manilow’s “Studio Musician”)


I am a Second Life artician
We've only met
through an IM trail
I am the avatar
that hoards the prims you counted on
to build the pool and bar
next to your grand hotel
I've got no plans to build...
Won't need them yet in-game
But I'll keep them just the same

I am the college-aged griefer
Who's acting more
Like nine-years-old
I've caused a dozen redesigns
that seemed an afterthought
intended as a way
to get a few subscriptions sold
I never run events
I make the land a mess
and flaunt the TOS

Negative ratings don’t bug me
Cause I can give them too
If I can’t do what I want then neither can you
A Second Life artician
Posting the whole day through

And when the simulator usage
tops ninety-five
(New stores gone live)
You better grab your prims
while there's still two or three
that don't belong to me

There ain’t no consequences
For the things I do or say
I’ll just come back with a new name
next week anyway
A Second Life artician
(Come see the phallus I made!)
A Second Life artician
Whose talents should remain - undisplayed…
