Don't Just Send That Tweet

After listening to Neville Hobson & Shel Holtz discussing the problems that tweeting without pre-thinking on their www.ForImmediateRelease.biz show FIR, a song by Artisan came into my mind but with the wrong lyrics.

Here are the lyrics I came up with, They are voiced by Vicky MacApple in a recording I have put up on ipadio.com/phlogs/mikethebee/2009/12/10/Dont-Send-That-Tweet.

Maybe someone musical could come up with an open replacement for the tune I was thinking of, or someone with a voice could give a human voice. If you do then please let me know.

To the tune of Tom Paxton's "Don't Slay That Potato"

Ooooh noo, dont just send that tweet,
think on before you press go.

is it a nice one, is it just sweet,
is it just nasty, or sent in the heat.

does it enlighten, does it inspire,
or will it depress, or just add to the fire.

Will it inform, and win you some friends,
or will just anger and send round the bends.


Ooooh noo, dont just send that tweet,
think on before you press go.


letters are slow, but twitter is quick,
don't let that speed, lessen your wit.

packing your tweets with soft,sloppy slush,
isn't the answer to tweet in a rush.

think and consider, as you would if mailed it,
that is that last chance, to know that you've nailed it.


Ooooh noo, dont just send that tweet,
think on before you press go,
after you press it it is just to late,
now is the last time to have the debate.


Ooooh noo, dont just send that tweet,
think...on....before...you...press...gohhh,
