So You Want To Be A YouTube Star?

This parody song version of The Byrds" classic hit song 'So You Want to Be a Rock 'N' Roll Star' is dedicated to constable Stéphanie Trudeau aka Matricule 728 aka BoboCop and ANY and ALL SPVM police officers who aspire to YouTube stardom. . . ;-)

Now if only I can persuade the inimitable Patti Smith to perform this parody song the next time she plays at the Bell Centre. . .

So You Want To Be A YouTube Star?

So you want to be a YouTube star?
Then listen now to what I say
Just get yourself some pepper spray
Then fake some crime
Spray les gratteux de guitare

And. . .

With your club swung right
And your cuffs too tight
It's gonna be a fight

Then it's time to go downtown
Where the YouTube man won't let you down
Post your 'soul* to the internet
That is waiting there to show your shit

And. . .

In a month or two
If you threaten Parent
The courts'll tear you apart

The price you paid for your bitching and "fame"
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane

The money, the shame, the public disdain
Don't forget what you are
You're a YouTube star!
