Haters Gonna Hate – [Video]
Hat tip to Upworthy for posting this amazing video by youtubers Clever Pie and Isabel Fay singing about haters, trolls and death threats on the internet.
Some might say you are a…
Sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
Cowardly, illitterate, waste of human skin,
Sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
Cowardly, iliterat, waste of human skin,
But I say: thank you beautiful stranger.
A lot of these hit very close to home – as you can imagine we here at The Mudflats get quite a few of them… you only need to look at Shannyn Moore’s facebook page on any given day to see that she gets them too. Usually they’re not pleasant… but what can you do but sing about them? Well, I can’t sing about them but luckily Isabel Fay can. Please watch, and enjoy
It’s a bit NSFW as you can imagine… so if you’re at work, or have extremely impressionable children probably save this one for later. You can buy the song on iTunes – all the profits go to http://www.beatbullying.org/ [Lyrics below the video]
Lyrics:
Well hello friend Mister Insightful
Thank you for your comment on my little Youtube clip!
Most people say you’re cruel and spiteful,
But you’re right, how do I sleep at night? I am a massive prick.
They call you hater well they’re just jealous
Your constructive pearls of wisdom give me thrills I can’t deny
How will we know if you don’t tell us
We could improve our Youtube channels by “fucking off and dying”?
Some might say you are a…
Sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
Cowardly, illitterate, waste of human skin,
Sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
Cowardly, iliterat, waste of human skin,
But I say: thank you beautiful stranger.
I love the way you don’t upload things
You know we’d be too dazzled by your cinematic vision
But you’re there on every comment string
Where you teach us, just like Jesus but while wanking like a gibbon.
I’m really sure that if I met you
You probably wouldn’t rape me like you promised that you would
We are like “that”; I really get you
You’re right about that laughing kid, he is a total “cnut”.
(Samba instrumental)
You wished me cancer and misspelled “cancer”
But I know that it’s a metaphor. You hope that I will grow,
Just like the tumour you hoped would kill me
Inside the tits on which you said you’d also like a go.
You said that girls shouldn’t do funny
But you’d fuck me double hard and let your mates go after you.
Oh what a line you lovely honey.
Are you on e-harmony? Oo! I’ll join the queue!
Some might say you’re a…
sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
cowardly, illitterate, waste of human skin,
sexually aggressive, racist, homophobe, misogynistic,
cowardly, iliterate, waste of human skin.
But if it wasn’t for you my darling,
I would never have written this tune.
Some might say that You’re So Vain,
But this song is all about you!
What happened to the “like” button? I’ve read the responses and am in dire need of it! Because: YES! beth.
You can always tell when someone has no argument, or is afraid that what you are saying is true: they resort to insults and threats.
Each person who..enjoyed this video, and of course..the gently epic message..will have built their own ways..of ‘walk on’ champion..when we find this sort of ..momentary snippet..out in the parking lots, stores..and waiting room..conversations. Two pronged attack here..at seventy five..long, shoulder length white hair..and always..too much mascara! (I Do..intend to be seen!) A. I will raise my eyes..in slow, theatrical (or is that..manic..) fashion..and simple ..stop all motion..be it reading, or walking..and focus upon the offending person..like iron filings..to a magnet! B. When I know of a student/adult..for whom things have reached a bad, possible..tipping point..they bring me a list..of the words/expressions..that harm them so. We walk back..into the orchards..and we start..with the walking theatre..that is moi..shouting, crooning,loudly delivered sayings..meant..to bring them down..and I circle..like direwolf! My hands become a vultures flyby. Bullying..and trolls are best fought..with ..Humor..amen..amen!
