Twitter Come Back
Written by Allen Stern - May 18, 2008
Over the past week, Twitter has been up and down several times. As I wrote about each outage, I started to realize just how much I am attached to Twitter and how much it really hurts deep, deep down when it's down. So I decided to create a song and music video. The title is "Twitter Come Back". Oh yea, add me on Twitter.
The video is now available on YouTube as well.
Lyrics:
Spend all my nights and all my mornings going out of my mind
Doing anything I can to get you working again
When the errors come I get back to starting again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
CHORUS
Twitter come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something really wrong with cha
Twitter come back
Ruby or PHP
I was robbed and I just can't live without ya
All day long I keep hitting the refresh button
Trying to get my followers to see me
As the errors come I get that sick feeling again
How I wish to god that you were working one more time again
CHORUS
Twitter come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something really wrong with cha
Twitter come back
Ruby or PHP
I was robbed and I just can't live without ya
Now that I've put it all together
I sure hope that you will see
That you've used up all your free credits
With me, oh yes, with me, yea with me!
CHORUS
Twitter come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something really wrong with cha
Twitter come back
Ruby or PHP
I was robbed and I just can't live without ya
Our Partners
LMFAO. I just peed a little.
LOL this is funny and true! Ruby or PHP ha! this is what I thought I would see for the http://whatistwitter.com contest. Will we see more music videos with the lyrics posted?
I'm thinking you just started a viral twitter come back music video campaign
I'm @waynesutton on twitter and I'm glad twitter is back.
Great video
Awesome Video! Lets see if twitter recovers from its symptoms.
Just like when Twitter is down; after watching that video I'm speechless. :)
LOL I'm a Ruby & Rails person, but don't care they're gonna use Ruby or PHP ;P
Absolutely awesome...but i'm afraid i've gotta say don't quit your day job :
@zsection .
I couldn't stop watching... I wanted to click the little X... but I just couldn't do it LOLOLOL
EPIC!!
You need to not be doing this
Just so perfect.
Allen,
Please, please stick to writing as opposed to singing. What's next, a duet with Arrington or Loren Feldman? :)
sometimes ya just have to have a bit of fun - don't worry, I won't be doing this often :)
Allen you should threaten to do an album if they don't fix twitter, i guarantee it would never go down again :-)
just for that im removing your widget!
Allen, I just don't know what to say. I'm a little afraid now. Okay, maybe a lot afraid.
HHAHAHA, amazing!
great hat!
the hat is for you my man, just for you!
I couldn't get through this-too painful to watch, much less listen to. Don't quit your day job Allen, but you do get points for courage.
This definitely would have made the American Idol reject show. Look out William Hung-you have some competition!
Great idea with the lyrics and the inspirational song.. But the interpretation on video was terrible, hehehe..
I love it. Love it. love it.
Did I say I love it!!
thanks Hank!!
Allen, hit me up if you want to collaborate on a Twitter album.
LOL This beats my Twitter song a thousand times over :)
lol - yours is way better - more talent!
That was SO awesome! Love the conference bling! We have to do a duet sometime. Peace
Allen, you are too funny!! Can you also make a song about eBuddy? (positive please :))
JJ @ eBuddy
Cool song. Twitter is so addictive.
Priceless :)

@centernetworks: play this clip in front of a mirror and realize how much ridiculous this is. Such a fool...
lol take it for what it is fool.
btw that was not me as simon cowell it was tony.
Allen, lots of courage to do this... Truly. We are proud of you. Now... go back to hitting that refresh button!
watched at work, had to repress laugh, so crying instead...hilarious...great job!
good fun!
Yes, I know I already Tweeted this, but Allen, you are my hero. Best video ever.
Allen, not too bad. Check out my twitter poem (wrote a little while ago)...

Is it just me, or does Allen look (and sound) like Jeff Garlin?
