Rhett And Link Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's not much that separates me from the other guy
But when I login I begin to live
There's an online world where I am king
Of a little website dedicated to me
With pictures of me and a list of my friends
And an unofficial record of the groups that I'm in.
Before the internet friendship was so tough
You actually had to be in peoples presence and stuff
Who wouldve thought that with a point and a click
I could know that Hope Floats is your favorite flick (harry connick jr.?)
Facebook (Facebook)
I'm Hooked on Facebook
I used to meet girls hangin out at the mall, now I just wait for them to write on my wall.
(Its more than a want, it's more than a need; I'd schrivel up and die without my minifeed)
Take a look. (Youre Hooked) on facebook.
Oh Link's status changed. It says he's playing the recorder...
How do you know this person?
Did you hook up with this person?
Do you need to request confirmation?
Or did you just think they looked cute... From their picture on facebook?
If the internet crashed all across the land
Or my facebook account was deleted by the man
I'd carry around a picture of my face
And a summary of me typed out on a page
The Facebook Song by Rhett and Link is a humorous take on how the social networking site has changed the way we interact with people. The lyrics begin stating that the singer wouldn't call himself a social butterfly and that there's not much that separates him from the other guy. But, as soon as he logs in to Facebook, he feels that he begins to live. Here, it becomes apparent that the singer's entire existence revolves around the website.
Further, the song acknowledges that before the advent of the internet, making and maintaining friendships was much harder, requiring people to meet in person. However, today, with just a click, one can know every detail about their friends, including their favorite movies and TV shows, thanks to Facebook. Ultimately, the song is a tribute to the way Facebook has revolutionized the way we socialize, and the love-hate relationship we have with it.
