Heard a guy at a pub sesh at Upton FF do a song about 'friending' on Facebook.

Great chorus, something like 'Will you be my friend?' answered by roar from the assembly of 'Yes!' or 'No!'

Anyone have it?

Boff Whalley of Chumbawamba wrote a brilliant (and very funny) song about Facebook a couple of years ago. It's called "Would you like to add me as a Friend?"

You can probably hear it on Youtube or find it via the Chumba's website.

YouTube actually has several versions of this.
Here's the version from "The Boy Bands Have Won." There are also some live performances.


ADD ME
Words and music by Chumbawamba
As sung by Chumbawamba

1. I'm a loner, alone with neuroses and hate.
Anger is a permanent character trait.
My letter bombs are primed and they're ready to send.
Would you like to add me as a friend?
I'm a wound-up whiner with a fetish for guns.
I'm almost fifty and I live with my mum.
I hope my nude picture doesn't offend.
Would you like to add me as a friend?

CHORUS: Add me! Add me!
Me mother says she wished she'd never 'ad me.
Add me! Add me!
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Would you like to add me as a friend?

2. I'm a recov'ring alcoholic; I rarely leave my room,
Peeping through the curtains in my dog costume.
The voices in my head, oh, they'll get me in the end.
Would you like to add me as a friend?
I'd really like to mail you the picture that I drew.
It's Kylie's body but the head is you.
I've asked you fifty times before; I'm asking you again,
Would you like to add me as a friend?

CHORUS, BREAK, CHORUS

3. Here's a picture of me in my Nazi uniform
Doing a trick with an egg that I like to perform
At a monster truck rally that my mum and me attend.
Would you like to add me as a friend?
I've added Britney and Paris and you and Tom.
I'm going to find your address so I can visit you at home.
I don't like people, but I like to pretend.
Would you like to add me as a friend?

CHORUS

And then there's my personal favorite. (Warning: extremely unladylike language ahead...but funny as hell.)

I'm reminded of a song by Lou and Peter Berryman.

Answer this ad! I feel so bad.
I don't have the confidence that I once had
-----------
Fat man, 45, hardly keeps himself alive
Drinks, smokes, cusses, snores, doesn't like it out of doors!
