um.. interesting.. not sure if I like that... It's kind of like Avenue Q changing the lyrics...

[runaway_elf]

What lyrics did Avenue Q change? Was it the "George Bush is only for now" bit?

[wagrobanite]

yah, they had a contest for people to find new lyrics..

[blergg]

What did they change it to?

[blergg]

THE BEEPER'S GOING TO MAKE A COMEBACK. TECHNOLOGY IS CYCLICAL.

GIF win. I'm so behind on saving Conan gifs. Those twitter segments are so hilarious.

...and idk how I feel about the changing of the lyrics. It sounds sort of weird to me. Why twitter, though, why can't they just say "Jesus sent me a text"?

[wagrobanite]

I agree...

[hungryandfrozen]

Ha!

Also - I don't mean to be cynical, I do love twitter, but is it worth changing the lyrics to something they're not sure is going to last all that long? It's hard to know what will stick these days and Twitter is definitely doing really well but...who knows.

[wagrobanite]

And how long will Twitter be around? Text messaging is more likely to stick around...

aaaand now i can't get the song out of my head.

POOR DENNIS :(

His beepers don't have cameras, but they DO have pedometers.

Shit, I could quote this show ALL DAY.

I saw this on Saturday night and they had already changed the lyric. I didn't know that it was a recent change, and it made me laugh! So I approve =)
