Celebrating My Second Blogging Anniversary with a Song
Posted on August 1, 2006
Filed Under Library 2.0, Video Casting, Videoblogging, Web 2.0 |
For my second blogging anniversary, I’m not going to spew y’all with boring numbers about how popular my posts are, how many people subscribe, etc. Instead, I’m going to give you some good, old-fashioned entertainment (well, maybe not old-fashioned). I’m going to give you a song. And a video. About Web 2.0. ‘Cause I’m sometimes silly that way. So - if you want to download these behemoth files, here they are:
- Video
- Music only (your iPod will love this)
- Youtube version
And of course, since my singing is most likely incoherent to some, the lyrics, in all their danged glory, are included below. Enjoy!
Are You Blogging This?

Rock on! Sounds a bit like REM, and lyrics channel Cobain (one of my all-time favorites is ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’). Totally cool!
Very cool! Well, that was certainly a unique way to mark your blog-iversary.
Congrats on two years! I’ve been enjoying you the whole time and I look forward to more interesting posts on what libraries can do with video and other such tech schtuff.
just one word … BRILLIANT!!!!
Well, that’s fun! I think you should use it to introduce yourself on your lib’s web site…be a lot more interesting than the usual.
Forget that the Stones are coming to Halifax. I think we should call you for our civic day concert!
Great fun. Ready. . . aim. . . Viral!
Damn, that is the second blog post to make me laugh out loud today. (Here is the first.) Nicely done. Bonus points for filming it at work (unless your home looks like a cube farm, in which case, negative points).
So, Steve, are you suggesting that Dave’s song…needs more cowbell?
Excellent song, Dave. Next stop: Sandstone! (Or you could take a page from the High Strung and do a tour of libraries.)
David would be in good company if he added more cowbell.
All’s I know is, I can’t stop thinking “are you blogging this, are you blogging this? Oh-ooo-oh!”
David - you are a star. Brilliant.
Rock on! Happy blogversary.
David,
Great song and video. Perhaps a guitar gathering/ librarian singalong is in order at Internet Librarian or CiL?
Happy blogging anniversary, David! Thanks for including scanR in your amazingly well-done video. I just know that I’m not going to be able to get that song out of my head for days…
Freakin’ sweet! Farinaceous!
David, this is great!!!
[...] The lyrics can be found at David's blog, leave him a comment. Thanks David for a fabulous video! [...]
Celebrating My Second Blogging Anniversary with a Song…
nice…..
Happy blogging anniversary David. Thanks for including Seekum, and extra thanks for including it twice. That video really made our day here at Seekum.
Happy blogiversary and thank you for the toonz. Way two point oh dude. Maybe, three point whoa…whoa… and, methinks I am blogging this.
Just caught your celebratory tune. Loved it. But . . . Looking at your lyrics I see you missed one
Here’s a link to Kitchen Sink

Thanks everyone!
Madeline - how funny! I should have used Google’s kitchen sink
Hi David! I’ve been lurking around here for a few weeks and have been enjoying seeing you again virtually. I shared the video with Sarah and the kids last evening and they couldn’t get enough of it! And, as another post implied, the chorus goes to bed with you and wakes up with you… very catchy! I’ll want to catch up with you soon re: possible endeavors here at your old stomping ground.
[...] And then there is this great video going around the world by David Lee King called “Are You Blogging This?” — which is just very funny to watch. It’s a combination of humor and rock and roll. Thanks for creating some cool anthems for us out here in digi-land. I hope it inspires others to do the same thing. Peace, Kevin [...]
[...] I also took an online course from David Lee King, which helped me get be more motivated to follow what he says about websites and the like. It also made me cheer that much louder when I saw this. [...]
Daweed,
Loved the song. Your vocals and guitar playing have grown by leaps and bounds (no offense to your “Rock To The Top” days). It reminded me of Green Day, especially the vocals.
I couldn’t download the video because I have stupid dial-up.
Awesome, Tom! That’s the coolest comment yet. For those of you who don’t know what Tom’s talking about - he’s an old college friend, and we were in a band together. And yes, you can here the band online, at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=301464
Check it out!
Ok, I’m a little late to this party, but awesome job, there, Squagmar. I got to see the video, and way too much of your teeth, but I’ll put that on my Ipod anyway. So, when’s that Senators reunion concert?
Hey, Tone-hor! A Senators reunion concert would be way too scary (unless we could resurrect that old organ in the music building).
But… Brian and I would like to get together Feb-march-ish… let’s do the email thing and figure it out.
[...] Here are two examples that illustrate what I mean by inviting participation. My first example goes back to this past summer when I did that song and video about web 2.0, Are You Blogging This. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that song invited a type of participation - a passive invitation to participate. Though I didn’t ask anyone specifically to do anything, the title of my song, Are You Blogging This?, apparently did - and people responded to the invitation! It’s one of my most popular posts to date, I have received 26 comments on my original blog post so far, and the video has been watched over 4000 times (3000 on YouTube, 1000 on blip.tv). But more importantly, the video was mentioned on other peoples blogs, too - usually with the blogger saying something like “Yes, David, I AM blogging this.” [...]
[...] DOPA has had me down in the dumps! I needed some humor and found some today. Check out how David Lee King celebrates his second anniversary of blogging with “Are you blogging this?” He says: I’m going to give you some good, old-fashioned entertainment (well, maybe not old-fashioned). I’m going to give you a song. And a video. About Web 2.0. [...]
[...] Song und das Video stammen von David Lee King, und in seinem Blog kann man beides auch runterladen: davidleeking.com. Entdeckt hab ich das schöne Teil beim elektrischen Reporter 27. [...]
