A Song Parody
November 9th, 2007
I told my friend Richard about Xerpi — and he surprised me with an unexpected treat.
Richard's a big fan of the Beach Boys, and "Xerpi" does sound a little bit like the word "surfing." So this morning I checked my email, and there it was.
A song parody that Richard had written that was all about Xerpi, and sung to the tune of the Beach Boys' song, Surfin' USA....
I can almost hear the backup vocals now.
They're singing "Favorites, favorites, U.S.A..."

If everybody had a notion,
Across the USA,
Then everybody'd go Xerpi
Just like my good friend Dave!
You'll see 'em saving their web sites,
Searching for new ones too.
And sharing all of their favorites.
Xerpi USA!
You'll catch 'em making their link blocks,
And a Community View
Where everyone can add favorites
or find a page that's new.
All over the web, now
Send bookmarks back to their page!
Everybody's gone Xerpi
Xerpi USA...
We're saving our favorite pages
arranged in pretty squares,
Or matching our favorite tag words
to yours, mine, and theirs.
You'll see 'em linking to Google
And dictionaries, too!
Everybody's gone Xerpi
Xerpi USA.
We'll all be planning out a block
We're gonna fill with links
Of sites to surf or go shopping,
places to meet for drinks...
Even out with our cellphones
we'll take our bookmarks away!
Tell the browsers it's Xerpi
Xerpi USA.
