Celebrating My Second Blogging Anniversary with a Song

By

For my second blogging anniversary, I’m not going to spew y’all with boring numbers about how popular my posts are, how many people subscribe, etc. Instead, I’m going to give you some good, old-fashioned entertainment (well, maybe not old-fashioned). I’m going to give you a song. And a video. About Web 2.0. ‘Cause I’m sometimes silly that way. Edit – See the video embedded in this post for the music video!

And of course, since my singing is most likely incoherent to some, the lyrics, in all their danged glory, are included below. Enjoy!

Are You Blogging This?

Delicious myspace then tell me with meebo

  3. Very cool! Well, that was certainly a unique way to mark your blog-iversary. 🙂

    Congrats on two years! I’ve been enjoying you the whole time and I look forward to more interesting posts on what libraries can do with video and other such tech schtuff.

  6. Well, that’s fun! I think you should use it to introduce yourself on your lib’s web site…be a lot more interesting than the usual.

  20. David,
    Great song and video. Perhaps a guitar gathering/ librarian singalong is in order at Internet Librarian or CiL?

  22. Happy blogging anniversary, David! Thanks for including scanR in your amazingly well-done video. I just know that I’m not going to be able to get that song out of my head for days… 🙂

  36. Hi David! I’ve been lurking around here for a few weeks and have been enjoying seeing you again virtually. I shared the video with Sarah and the kids last evening and they couldn’t get enough of it! And, as another post implied, the chorus goes to bed with you and wakes up with you… very catchy! I’ll want to catch up with you soon re: possible endeavors here at your old stomping ground. 🙂

  38. Daweed,

    Loved the song. Your vocals and guitar playing have grown by leaps and bounds (no offense to your “Rock To The Top” days). It reminded me of Green Day, especially the vocals.

    I couldn’t download the video because I have stupid dial-up.

  42. Ok, I’m a little late to this party, but awesome job, there, Squagmar. I got to see the video, and way too much of your teeth, but I’ll put that on my Ipod anyway. So, when’s that Senators reunion concert?

  44. Hey, Tone-hor! A Senators reunion concert would be way too scary (unless we could resurrect that old organ in the music building).

    But… Brian and I would like to get together Feb-march-ish… let’s do the email thing and figure it out.

  3. […] And then there is this great video going around the world by David Lee King called “Are You Blogging This?” — which is just very funny to watch. It’s a combination of humor and rock and roll. Thanks for creating some cool anthems for us out here in digi-land. I hope it inspires others to do the same thing. Peace, Kevin […]

  5. […] Here are two examples that illustrate what I mean by inviting participation. My first example goes back to this past summer when I did that song and video about web 2.0, Are You Blogging This. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that song invited a type of participation – a passive invitation to participate. Though I didn’t ask anyone specifically to do anything, the title of my song, Are You Blogging This?, apparently did – and people responded to the invitation! It’s one of my most popular posts to date, I have received 26 comments on my original blog post so far, and the video has been watched over 4000 times (3000 on YouTube, 1000 on blip.tv). But more importantly, the video was mentioned on other peoples blogs, too – usually with the blogger saying something like “Yes, David, I AM blogging this.” […]
