The Lyrics
Fixin' the mistakes
Gettin' the facts straight
Millions of nerds on Wikipedia toil
Writin' 'bout growth rings
Or Martin Luther King
But all of their hard work is easily foiled
Makin' up stuff again on Wikipedia
Changin' a word or two from the default
Now your report claims that Disney's founder was named
Something obscene, instead of "Walt"
I'm editing "Treason"
Making up reasons
Like playin' "Stairway" on a didgeridoo
Don't be so snooty
I'm just bein' goofy
Bannin' my IP just wouldn't be cool
Makin' up stuff again on Wikipedia
Claimin' "Your Mom" jokes are a form of assault
I'm goin' insane, editin' "Valerie Plame"
Addin' links...
It's all gravity's fault
Vandalized "Photoshop"
Screwed up "Soda Pop"
But that's actually true - it's always called "Coke"
Directed "Gibson" to "Fender"
And "Public Defender"
Now points to the fine article on "Bongs"
Makin' up stuff again on Wikipedia
But now my editin' has come to a halt
The error page claims that I've been blocked, banned and flamed
And I know its my own damn fault
Yes, I 'spose it's quite lame to go and publish false claims
And I know its my own damn fault
Gettin' the facts straight
Millions of nerds on Wikipedia toil
Writin' 'bout growth rings
Or Martin Luther King
But all of their hard work is easily foiled
Makin' up stuff again on Wikipedia
Changin' a word or two from the default
Now your report claims that Disney's founder was named
Something obscene, instead of "Walt"
I'm editing "Treason"
Making up reasons
Like playin' "Stairway" on a didgeridoo
Don't be so snooty
I'm just bein' goofy
Bannin' my IP just wouldn't be cool

"Public Defender -Now points to the fine article on Bongs" LMAO. Fun read, Gonfunko. 555.
This comment was originally written by my evil twin Bernard, and was very nasty, and gave you all ones, but I edited it to be complimentary and rated a five.
Enjoyed this!
Very clever ideas here. When I look up "vandals" on wiki, do I see your face?

ya know I once saw on wiki that 2+2 = 5 and speaking of 5 that's my review on your parody! all 5's!
Jonathan: I'm not following you. That said, not bad, except for the profanity: 545.
Jonathan with the S - It's in the OS, and fit pretty well for the narrator's remorse at the end - I didn't just randomly throw it in. Nonetheless, no complaints - it's probably one of my best received parodies in a while.
Haha, I love this one. Big 5's.
i love this one its funny 555
Very funny...I loved it!
Wikipedia is cool.
Very good concept and illustrations.
Weird Al couldn't have done it any better. I believe you've got a serious SOTM candidate with this. 5's.
Superb - DKTOS, but DGAF. Grinned all the way though :-)
Clever stuff!
he he
BRILLIANT 555
