"Merp Merp !" or "Tweeted love". Funny parody of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" using Twitter:

BUT, is the Youtube thing working ? I can't see it on preview.
If it does I owe UT a beer. :beer1:

I don't get it, I thought they'd have changed the lyrics or something. It's just a bunch of twitter screenshots. Off-topic, but I've often thought that the Marylin Manson cover is one of those rare cases of a cover version being as good if not better than the original.

Like Slade's version of Born to be Wild

Hendrix's All along the Watchtower, Johnny B. Goode

Deep Purple's River Deep Mountain High

Look again. If you pronounce (sing) the twitter names phonetically as they come up, they become the words to the song. It's extremely silly. :D

yeah its a brain illusion, if you listen to the song and read whats on the screen then it changes the sound of the words you are hearing... its called the McGurk Effect...
