NEVER GOT AN INSTALANCHE
(with apologies to Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show for abusing their song "Cover of the Rolling Stone")
Well, I'm a small-time blogger
Not a big link-monger
But adored by everyone I know
I write about boobies and I write about love
But for it I got nothin' to show
I get all kinds of links from both heroes & finks
But the link that would make me dance
Is the link from Glenn to which I'd say "Amen"
But I've never got an Instalanche
(Instalanche) Wanna see my Sitemeter spikin'
('lanche) Wanna feel like Glenn's taking a likin'
('lanche) Wanna see my server crash
But I've never got an Instalanche
I got a freaky site design with a currency shrine
Just full of "I Grew Hemp"-stamped bills
I got love notes in my archives
Givin' the ladies thrills
Now, it's all designed to blow your mind
But the mind with which I've had no chance
Is the mind of Glenn - king of blogging men
'Cuz I've never got an Instalanche
(Instalanche) Wanna see my Sitemeter spikin'
('lanche) Wanna feel like Glenn's taking a likin'
('lanche) Wanna see my server crash
'Cuz I've never got an Instalanche
I got a lot of fanatical blog-tip groupies
Who do anything I say
I got a genuine tech-support Guru
Who helps keep the spam at bay
I got all the friends that linkage can buy
Who laugh when I make fun of France
I keep writin' & thinkin' but I can't get Glenn's linkin'
I've just never got an Instalanche
(Instalanche) Wanna see my Sitemeter spikin'
('lanche) Wanna feel like Glenn's taking a likin'
('lanche) Wanna see my server crash
I've just never got an Instalanche
Will I *ever* get an Instalanche?
(Man, I don't know why I ain't gotten an Instalanche, Baby)
(I'm a beautiful blogger)
(I ain't kiddin', why, I'd make the perfect link for Instapundit)
(Fresh link, top of the page, man)
(I can see it now, I'll be up on top of Technorati)
(Instalanche, man ...... ahh, beautiful!)
Did you take your own advice and send an email to the puppy-blending maniac?
Good cover, btw. I was just listening to the original on the way in to work this morning.
Yes.
Yes I did :-)
And you DO know what happened to Dr. Hook after that song hit the charts, right?
Really, really good Harvey! And did Dr. Hook make the cover after that song hit?

Good work on the song. I can't believe that after all this time you still haven't had your dream 'lanche.
Ha ha. Your generation and your songs.
My dad likes that song.
Interesting fact though, if you didn't know, Shel Silverstein wrote that one. Along with that song about raindrops from before my time, and that song that Johnny Cash did all those years before he covered Nine Inch Nail's Hurt.
I'm not that familiar with any of this stuff, but I guess you might know about it. Being old and all.
Also, I'm not sure, but I think Silverstein wrote another Dr. Hook song that I'm not familiar with: Queen of the Silver Dollar.
But I'm not entirely sure about that, and I don't feel like researching music that you and my dad listen to right now.
Geezers.
Joey - That's COOT to you, punk! :-P
Poor Dr Hook. They might have gone somewhere had they not hates each other :)
Best I can do for you is a Techo-Lanche which will get you...uh....4 more readers a blind guy and a mouse named Pedro.
But I'll try! :)
YAY! Pedro-mouse! :-)
