Social Media SongI’ve Been Everywhere Man

I was totin' my pack along the social media track,When ‘long came an email without any fact.“If you’re gonna be social, connect here Mack.”And so I linked to this group to see what it lacked.They asked if I was trusted and started to probe.And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every community on this here globe!”

I've been everywhere, man.I've been everywhere, man.Crossed the internet bare, man.Breathed the media air, man.Social media - got my share, man.I've been everywhere.

I've been to:Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, TwitterYouTube, Reddit, Blinklist, Flickr,Del.icio.us, Mashable, Dzone, Care2, Buzznet, Lipstick, Backflip, ClipclipFaces, Activerain, Slashdot, SacredHeartGather, Linkroll, Dealigg, now let’s start!

I've been everywhere, man.I've been everywhere, man.Crossed the internet bare, man.Breathed media air, man.Social media - got my share, man.I've been everywhere.
