Remember When…
Weird Al used to be all the rage? I grew up on that guy, seriously. And remember when eBay was what everyone raved about? And along with all those eBay and the incessant talk about drop shipping, the obsession with beanie babies and vintage lunch boxes? Well, now those two fads have merged into one unbelievable union. I now present the Weird Al lyrics to a song titled “eBay”. By the way, this is to the tune of the Backstreet Boys’ hit “I want it that way”. Also, here is the music video.
“eBay”
Yeah
A used … pink bathrobe
A rare … mint snowglobe
A Smurf … TV tray
I bought on eBay
My house … is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day
What I bought on eBay
Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner’s old toupee)
They had it on eBay
I’ll buy … your knick-knack
Just check … my feedback
“A++!” they all say
They love me on eBay
Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I’ve never met in Norway
Found him on eBay
I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever’ll please ya
As long as I’ve got the dough
I’ll buy … your tchotchkes
Sell me … your watch, please
I’ll buy (I’ll buy, I’ll buy, I’ll buy …)
I’m highest bidder now
(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah … (I bought it on eBay)
Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case of vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)
Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don’t know why … the kind of stuff you’d throw away)
(I’ll buy on eBay)
