Of course it's a parody.

Sorry folks: this is hilarious. I love it.

Perhaps you'd like to make a competing rap about your place of work? What's the phrase I'm thinking of for the folks at VallyWag? strap on some plums.

I wonder if a reaction to this can be considered a Rorschach test for how much you actually support user generated content :-P

I'm eagerly awaiting the Google response.

Any chance to see this on YouTube? I learn from this that jumpcut doesn't work very well...

Google has loads of stuff just like this going on, too. Last time I was there (my girlfriend works there, so I'm there every couple of weeks), they had an intern talent show going on at the main cafe. During the company picnic they did the same thing. "Googley Blues" was the winning performance...it was fun and well-done. Most performances, however, were in the same class as this rap. Silly, poorly done, just about exactly what you would expect from a nerd rapping.

It's stupid to pick on Yahoo for an employee having some fun. Thinking back, there was an all-office video from the College Humor/Busted T's folks, that everybody here LOVED. But when Yahoo brings it, they catch flack. It's just people being catty. Have fun. Get over your too-cool-for-school selves.
