welcome funny song to youtube

performed at youtube live!

music and lyrics by bo burnham

this happened in san francisco and was hosted by the likes of william sledd and whatthebuck -- i.e. it was the opposite of a prop 8 victory party. thats all. :)

I used to walk through life, now I frolic.

Youtube has been like a father to me,

Except Youtube's not an alcholic.

Before Youtube I was just a skinny white kid,

that thought he was funnier, & cooler

than he actually was.

and now not much has changed,

but I have a shitload of money.

Because Youtube is a place for people to share their ideas.

If by people you mean

13-year-old girls,

and by ideas you mean

how they love the Jonas Brothers.

I'm just kidding

But let's be honest,

that's a hefty majority.

And if you don't believe me

You must be a noob

So, Welcome to Youtube!

You don't know what you're missing,

and just by searching,

"Women Kissing".

-It's Youtube!

This country's been needing a

generation of kids who

don't waste their time reading.

Am I the only one who thinks that

Lisa Nova's hot?

And Chris Crocker's not...

he's hotter.

Most of the best Youtubers

are either asian or their gay.

So if there's an untapped

youtube celebrity,

and his name is George Takei

and your favorite coat

has a doo-doo stain.

I pray to god that it's

chocolate rain

And I find videos of

babies laughing a bit intrusive.

Because Barack Obama won the election because of Youtube

Wait, did I say youtube?

I meant the black vote

And I think Youtube and Fred are

"So Cool!"

And What The Buck!

will be back in a jiffy lube

So, Welcome to Youtube!

Yeah...

So, Welcome to Youtube!

Hey...

Welcome to Youtube!

I said, listen and linger,

Charlie the Unicorn bit my finger!

It's youtube!

The impact is evident.

Miss Teen South Carolina just ran for Vice President!

Upload a video,

You have nothing to lose!

except all your friends...

& the approval of your parents...

"Hi, my Mary, and I'm 19 years-old

I got drunk at a party, and I think someone

was video-taping it, but I don't want

anyone to see it, cuz

I showed half of my boob!"

Sorry Mary!--
