]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> Right now you have no users and you're feeling really crappy
And when I see how sad you are it sort of makes me happy
Sorry Friendster, human nature, nothing i can stop
It's Valleyfreude -- our blogs do well when companies screw up

Did you ever clap when a VC firm lost a huge investment
And ain't it fun to see pedophiles on MySpace get arrested
Didn't you feel all warm and cozy watching MVNOs go down the drain
Valleyfreude -- people taking pleasure in your pain

Watching Xanga pay a fine for conduct that's illegal
Or watching Microsoft realize it isn't iPod's equal
Sitting in a Yahoo boardroom when they offer Facebook some dough -- No!
Valleyfreude -- fuck you, Yahoo, they're goin' IPO

Office assets getting seized, bigwigs losing equity
Watching someone get the rag on GigaOm or Valleywag
Finding out that old HP's been spying on their employees
You know Carly's gonna cackle when Patricia gets the shackles
Valleyfreude, Valleyfreude, Valleyfreude, Valleyfreude

The world needs Enron and Pets.com and the newest AOL
Cause when startups see 'em they don't wanna be 'em and that makes them feel swell
They keep our blogs in business cause the people love to see catastrophe
Valleyfreude -- making our blogs a better place, making this town a better place
making the world a better place to be

Valleyfreude

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> @Blackjack: Interestingly, she took the lyrics down, too. Anyone care to transcribe them and post them here?

Owen Thomas

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> I know that video is the greatest thing ever, but would it have killed anyone to grab the lyrics from Randi's site and repost them? I mean really, everyone acts like video is a hammer and the rest of the intarweb is full of nails.

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> i know both randi and jen quite well and they're super-pissed that facebook made them take down the valleyfreud video... a fair call on facebook's part, or blatant censorship?

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> Looks like it's still here -- for now.

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> Thanks a lot, Owen -- now the IFilm version is gone too. Can someone upload this thing to DailyMotion or the Pirate Bay or somewhere that doesn't care about DMCA takedown notices?

fedbait

]]> <![CDATA[A Facebook insider dances her way to the IPO]]> I just wanted to point out an innacuracy in the article-that there is any entertaining user generated content on the web. thanks
