You Want To Be My Friend On Facebook? Are You F*cking Kidding Me?

On Facebook yesterday, my friend Robin Krasny posted a Youtube video that was too funny not to pass along. The lyrics are subtitled. I am glad my exes on Facebook are all really cool guys who are still pals. If they weren’t I might sing them this song You Want To Be My Friend On Facebook? Are You F*cking Kidding Me? The song is by Kate Miller Heidke. Here are the lyrics:

They say everyone should have their heart broken at least once
And that is how you grow emotionally
Well I have been misused by many, many, many men
But nothing can compare to how you treated me

At times it really felt as though the pain was here to stay
And though it’s many years I go I feel it to this day
And now, you wanna be my friend on Facebook
Are you f*cking kidding me?

All the memories are flooding back to me now
All the ways you stole the light from my eyes
I travelled so far, just to get away from you
‘Til this morning’s friend request, surprise!

At times it really felt as though i’d never smile again
You narcissistic a*sehole
Oh you nasty nasty man
And now, you wanna be my friend on Facebook
Are you f*cking kidding…?

I don’t care what kind of cocktail you are
Which member of The Beatles or which 1950s movie star
I don’t give a toss if you’re a ninja or a pirate
I suspect you’d be a pirate, but I don’t wanna verify it

And I don’t give a sh*t what your stripper name is
Or if your kitty had a litter

Look – Just follow me onTwitter
I don’t care about your family tree
And I certainly don’t want you POKING ME…
again

And so you wanna be my friend on Facebook
Oh you f*cking, f*cking f*ck…
Click, “Ignore”.

Wow, huh? I’ve written about Facebook in Horizons before like here where friends were worried about old lovers contacting them and Is it ok to break up with someone over Facebook? and How To Stop The Stupid Facebook Posts On Your Wall I learned a lot of people like to use a public forum to address what used to be a very private thing: ending a relationship. But we all have a different idea of what is private and what is not. I may think it’s hilarious to divulge what a particular roommate does in their spare time, yet they may find that an invasion of privacy.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell my story. That’s because it’s seldom just MY story; it’s the story of everyone who was there at the time as well. Since I share space, I have to take them all into consideration.

Unless I want to find a unicorn head in my bed some midnight.

Or a YouTube video of me snoring or worse.
