"Can I Be Articulate?" - Rap song

Hi everyone,

About a week ago, I released a rap song called "Can I Be Articulate?" via Twitter. Being that not everyone that frequents the forums is on Twitter, I figured that I'd also mention the song here. Without further adieu, here's the song and I hope you enjoy it:

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

I’m about to descend into a SCORM cloud with my Word of Mouth
Shout out into the forums, tout my Engaging vows
All the learners say wow, wow, widipiddy wow
When I twitter my course by sending the hyperlink out

Record a narration, add an annotation
Publish to AO with my tracking specifications
Set the content to private, sent out an invitation
I’ll be like, goodbye Adobe, salutations

Now, check your sanitation, you got a rolling brownout
That means you’re about to explode and your eyeballs are hanging out
So while I jump rope with your optic nerve, put it on swerve
Hit the publish button and watch Presenter work

View the presentation, now watch the escalation
You see the conversation? Oh yes, it’s elevated
Have you been persuaded? I think it’s been stated
Slated in concrete, no need to be debated

Chorus:

Can I be Articulate?
Give me a batch of bundled grapes
I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
Can I be Articulate? Now, can I be Articulate?

(Repeat chorus)

Verse 2:

Now it’s time to screenr, an in-between-er
The storyline says we got a mean demeanor
But I’m an e-learning hero, an AO pro
My bandwidth’s on a new level that nobody knows

Heads up to the browsers, attention to browsees
Can you please get Chromed out or at least IE’d?
Or watch the Fox get fired up on your Safari?
And whether you’re a Mac or PC, it doesn’t matter to me

Because the tracking is irrelevant, my content sets a precedence
The future is the present-tense and Paine is my common sense
DC is not my residence, but I get more votes than Presidents
I’m the opposite of sediment and that’s just my sentiment

Well, I’m a jack of all trades, an ace of all spades
One mouse click away from a cliche
Engaged, quizzed out, presented, all in one day
Now can I be Articulate?

Chorus:

Can I be Articulate?
Give me a batch of bundled grapes
And I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
And I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
Can I be Articulate? Now, can I be Articulate?

Can I be Articulate?
Give me a batch of bundled grapes
And I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
And I’ll smash ‘em all up with Engaging confidence
Can I be Articulate? Oh yes I am Articulate!

Hey, Brian!

Let me echo what you told me once: I want your job because you got too much time on your hands.

(For the golden oldie set) Dick Clark sez, "I give it 86. It's got a good beat and I can dance to it."

But how did you get Dylan to sing it for you.

(That'll cost me . . .)

Too much time on my hands? Ha! It only took me 15 months to write the song...how's that for "spare time"?
