To Feel The Likes – David Schipper (reviewed by Dave Franklin)

Ah… thanks for the nice words.

No one likes a joke more than I do. We’ll maybe my brother, my neighbours, the postman and the local amateur dramatics society. Okay, most people like a joke more than I do but I have to say that this cool little parody from David Schipper was not only wonderfully mirthsome and well thought out, it is actually a lot more poignant as a piece of social commentary than it might first appear to be.

To feel the likes

This lyric started with a conversation with a friend Jessie McDonald if I should tag her on a picture.  My comment was “You are tagged so much you must feel bruised”  This morning I did a quick google to see it anyone had coined that expression and I couldn’t find it.  Morning commute and news was boring so I turned off the radio, now what could I do with that line. I said it in such a way it reminded me of Dylan’s song.  I did have to re-listen to the song to get the start of some of the verses, but a good parody needs to match the original as much as possible.  I was so surprised that there was a line about being black and blue, it forced me to use my first idea as the 3rd verse.

When you’re staring at your morning face

And your friends all hate the human race

There are a few that you wouldn’t erase

They make you feel you’re loved

Evening traffic and the likes appear

So does that stalker that you sometimes fear 

He’d like to hold you for 1 million years 

And all your pics he loves

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet 

Your event list a mile long 

Click going when your mind is set

And hope your friends all come along

You’ve been tagged so much you’re feeling bruised

You wake each day to your timeline news

And reminded what you used to do 

And see that you are loved

The storms are raging over gun control

And all the Me toos  in between

When you need reprieve and lol

You check a dweeby friend.

He can make you happy, make you laugh a few

There is nothing he wouldn’t do

Go and find a meme just for you

To make you feel you’re loved

Go and find a meme just for you

To make you feel you’re loved.
