“4,000″”
One of the infamous Posting Songs.
Listen to the Song
Story behind the Song
The song was created as a surprise for the IRC. I decided I’d create a rap to “celebrate” the event. A lot of the references aren’t understood by current IRC members. It references …
…Tereyn (a young girl who appeared on the IRC when I was challenged to shut up for a month, who got mercilessly attacked for being a fraud when she was indeed a young girl, one whose guardian I tracked down to let know of the treatment she was being subjected to on the IRC, thus breaking my IRC silence), Gondorchin (as in the member Frank Gondorchin, who would upset me for various reasons I don’t remember anymore), not doing improv (I had left improv at this time out of frustration), ppd (posts per day, 8.24 being my ppd around the time, a rather high number), youngcat (a member who seemed to get jealous when I lapped him in posts in the very early days of the IRC), Respecto Montalban (the famed improv group whose Harold style I found very inspiring, and whose Harold may have influenced me to take my first improv classes), “dom” (as in dominatrices, a couple of whom were friends of mine for a summer), and mullaney (the webmaster for the IRC, whom a friend of mine and I convinced to wear a Burger King crown for a CageMatch show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in 2001; I also had an avatar for a while of mullaney’s photo, onto which I airbrushed a beard).
Improvland, a now-defunct improv website at the time, celebrated as the second most mportant event in improv in 2001 my achievement of 2,000 posts on the IRC. That might have been the start of my paying any attention to posting milestones. I reference Improvland in this song, too.
Lyrics
i post the most posts
i roast the board’s host
the bearded mullaney
ya know what i’m sayin?
ya know what i mean?
of course you don’t
i’m ben or bean
or ben or ben
i got more posts than eminem
protecting little girls who are named tereyn
stealing photos and giving captions
i have my very own off-topic forum
getting pissed off by gondorchin
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
i used to do improv but now i don’t
i know a few people, i got their goat
i took four classes at ucb
–8.24 ppd–
that’s post per day, you say what’s dat?
i didn’t really know til this guy youngcat
got real pissed off when i lapped him with my posts
“we like hot butter on our breakfast toast”
number 2 in ‘01 on improvland
when i slammed my post, number 2000
and just when you think i can’t yes-and
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think i can’t yes-and
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think i can’t yes-and
i slam another post, number 4000
controversy, i like to spark it
my acting career, i like to market
i’ll tell you all about benhauck.com
and at what site my mp3’s are on
you might ignore me but i won’t be gone
as long as i can turn this computer screen on
i first fell love with respecto montalban
i had a couple friends who were into dom
we’d go to see a harold, there’d never be a frown
cuz we got mullaney ‘wear a burger king crown
but that’s all real and this is pretend
this irc i tend to offend
at 3-9-9-9 will it ever end?
hell no, this post, number 4000
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
and just when you think my reign’s gonna end
i slam another post, number 4000
