The Lyrics
Most of the items mentioned in the song have been popular on the internet at one time. Some items maybe obscure, here's a list to help you, in the order they are mentioned:trampoline basketball, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, jihadist videos, Wikipedia, Howard Dean, Mahir Cagri, "Star Wars kid", Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondent Dinner, Jeff Gannon, Mark Foley, F-16 vs. Bird, Gary Brolsma, The Dawn and Drew Show, Java Posse, Science Friday, George Allen, Daily Kos, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Pope John Paul II sends email, man fakes his own beheading
Boys who play rough with their ball,
they should have been more careful.
Is that Britney's underpants
or is that Paris naked?
Girl who's cheating with a man,
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
Scenes of utter chaos flicker
through the broadband modem,
Guns that shoot from choppers down
on flaming steely ruins,
Violence in the name of God,
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
I know it's the God's truth
when it is on Wikipedia,
I will never trust the eastern
or the western media.
Chorus:
I hear Dean screaming,
and loudly he's gleaming.
That's a World Wide Web Sensation,
that's a World Wide Web Sensation.
Turkish man who loves kiss
and playing table tennis,
Nerdy kid who thinks he could
play golf with Luke Skywalker,
Have you heard of Howard Dean?
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
Colbert with his truth to tell
in presidential dinners,
Do you need a manly whore?
Just go to Mister Gannon.
Foley's boys are having sex,
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
F-16 soars through the air
until it sucks a pigeon,
Fat white guy thinks he's cool as
band from Eastern Europe.
Chorus
Dawn and Drew must be two fools
who cannot leave a message.
Have you heard the Java Posse?
Nerds who chat like schoolgirls.
Science Friday's really cool,
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
Have you seen that Allen
is a putrid blatant racist,
Daily Kos is all my source
for biased information.
Grandma has a web site and
that's World Wide Web Sensation.
Sistani has a site,
the pope will use the e-mail,
Right next to the terrorists
who kills you on the video.
Chorus
they should have been more careful.
Is that Britney's underpants
or is that Paris naked?
Girl who's cheating with a man,
That's World Wide Web Sensation.
Scenes of utter chaos flicker
through the broadband modem,

Very clever concept and displays a good handle on World Events, people and places, celebs & politico's. Having written a parody to "Californication" I know how tricky the pacing can be, so I'll honestly have to listen to the OS while I scan this to see if the pacing is a good as the rest of it, so I can't vote on it yet. I'll try to do that tonight at home because this is such an interesting piece. later...It's sure worth the read, folks.
Seems to fit to me, I had to count it twice though--tricky tricky tricky--good parody.
Luminous - I lied...but not on purpose...I got busy and forgot to do a print out and of course that meant it slide WAY into the dark recesses of my mind behind 50,000 other things. It looks like Below Average Dave went through the pacing closely and since I really like your piece anyway I'll go ahead and trust the pace and score it "5-5-5". I do actually want to check it out myself because it should work well from both the "fun" and the "educational/interesting" levels. copying to a word doc right now so I'll be able to print it out a bit later.
