A 32 year-old Glenn Rubenstein says "Thanks!"
Wow. Thank you so much for this awesome gift! I seriously wasn't expecting it, and I am humbled that you would put in such time and effort to do this for my birthday.
Plus, let's face it: most people would find it difficult to even try and top the elegance of the song's original lyrics! And yet, somehow you managed to pull it off, putting the band Survivor to shame!
Thanks to PJ, Jenni Powell, Milowent, Elixir, Sheetzjunkie and MicFranxon--and everyone else who sent birthday wishes--for helping to make my 32nd birthday memorable!
Try that while eating fritos.
ReplyDeleteBuahahaha^

ReplyDeleteI have the lyrics in my e-mail modelmotion. Just PM me if you want 'em. Sorry I was MIA all weekend, I was working on a film. We do that in HOLLYWOOD.
ReplyDeleteHa.
Duh. I can just post them here...
ReplyDeleteAnd now I give you, the brilliance that is Elixir and Milowent:
Eye of Rubenstein
Rising up, feeling so leet
Did his time, took some chances
Went the distance and he's still on his feet
Just a man and his will to be online
So many times, it happens too fast
You jack a voicemail for glory
Don't lose your grip on A.R.Gs of the past
Op and Tachy - you kept them alive!
Chorus:
You're the eye of the YouTube, who inspires the sleuths
Rising up through the spam and lisanovas
Forget the Hymn, you are the chanter’s proof
That you can make it with the eye of Rubenstein
On BreeFM or in IRC
Hangin' round, speakin’ his mind
He still has the Cowboy card up his sleeve
And we know he gave him the will to survive
chorus:
Its the eye of the YouTube, and commenters who fight
Red Army's risin’ to the challenge of the rivals
Posting new comments with all of our might
To show the world what you see through the eye of Rubenstein
Risin' up, straight to the top
Of the most viewed pages on YouTube
Went the distance, now he’s not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to be online
chorus:
You're the eye of the YouTube, who inspires the sleuths
Rising up through the spam and lisanovas
Forget the Hymn, you are the chanter’s proof
That you can make it with the eye of Rubenstein
The eye of Rubenstein (repeats out)...
