Rewrite of "Little Boxes" song for the Nymwars. Performed by fourworlds - reverbnation.com/fourworlds
Little Google Boxes
Little real names on the profiles,
Little real names made of ticky tacky,
Little real names on the profiles,
Little real names all the same.
There's a Larry and an Eric
And even a Zuckerberg,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all sound just the same.
And the people with the real names
All talk about transparency
As they look out of their boxes
Wanting us to do the same same,
And there's coders and marketers,
And Google executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all sound just the same
And they all use first and last names
And avoid unusual characters,
And put nicknames and psuedonyms
In the designated fields
And their profile and user names
Represent just one individual,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the Nyms all get suspended
And lose other google services
Because they won't live in boxes
Or agree to all sound the same.
There's a Skud and a Violet Blue
And an Identity Woman too,
You should follow them on Twitter
Cause they're not all the same.
Original song by Malvina Reynolds. New lyrics by Botgirl Questi. Video clips from "In the Suburbs" archive.org/details/IntheSub1957
