Barbara Franco - Memes lyrics

Brace yourself, cause this song is coming Leave it up to me; I'll get the whole cla** humming My boy Richie D started the meme sensation Spread from one to the next through the use of imitation Now, its a form of communication And its been taking over the entire web nation Memes got the ethic of a hacker, numbers two and three Reminding you all that new info should be free Every Advice Animal picture that you see Is representin' freedom man, the way its supposed to be The author is irrelevant, no one really cares We just want to take the image, copy it and share While following the notions of Stallman's open software Embedding social, cultural implications, beware Now I believed memes were limited to pictures for quite a while But that's before I read about this video called Gangnam Style You can argue with that if you're in denial But memes are way more than media that goes viral Through the 6 p's videos spread like a disease Packaging, positioning, participation, the prestige Positivity, and provoking feelings to such degrees Kony 2012, lets bring that man to his knees Damn Daniel's back at it with the white vans Hide yo kids hide yo wife from the rapist man Leave Britney Alone cries her biggest fan Charlie bit my finger off my right hand She said do it for the Lulz, I said I ain't gonna do it Some memes go too far, ask Kenny Glenn he been through it Yet Anonymous took down that boy, he paid for it Dusty the Cat survived and gained fame for it Yo, some memes require some prior knowledge Like the Pepper Spraying Cop, from UC Davis college Others are just fads like planking on a cottage People look to post, wanting others to acknowledge Many times memes represent a political stance A way to express one's voice or opinions of the ma** Obama called the GOP the Grumpy Cat and laughed GW Bush was caught doing a dance Is the dress blue and black? I think its white and gold What started as a Tumblr post put the world on hold Scientific explanations were circulating and told We all debated our perceptions, and our friends we polled What we like about memes is the juxtaposition Of objects, and the way that they're positioned They each get funnier with repetition Frozen in motion and then composition NC lost, Michael Jordans still crying He never gets a break but Bad Luck Brian still smiling Condescending Wonka always sighing Dos Equis so interesting without really trying A lot of memes we know and love have a global appeal Describing gender differences and how consumerism's real Local places personalize memes to fit their spiel Like the Successful Black Man or Akiva from Israel Overall you learned that memes are like a hack You take one's work, you switch the words and send it right back There are many reasons why memes are so whack But thankfully they don't come with DDOS attacks
