I Only Want To Blog With You

This parody (written by Greg Crowther) is sung to the tune of "I Only Want To Be With You" (written by Mike Hawker and Ivor Raymonde and performed by Samantha Fox).

I wrote this as a birthday present for Jeremy Fox in celebration of his "Dynamic Ecology" blog. Here the singer dreams of getting to do a guest post for this well-regarded blog.

I don’t what it is that makes me love your blog;
I only know that reading it is not a slog!
‘Cause you started something
With Brian and Meg,
And I would like to join you, or my name's not Greg!
It happens to be true:
I only wanna blog with you!

It deeply matters when and what and how you write;
It’s credible and stable as a source to cite!
Look what has happened
To the IDH --
On this and other zombies you have turned the page!
It’s crazy but it’s true:
I only wanna blog with you!

You said yes when I emailed you
To ask if I could post;
Now I’m trying hard to write
A piece you’d want to host!

Now listen, Doctor --
I have read your entries on the data frauds,
The spandrels of San Marco and the hiring odds,
‘Cause you started something
I can’t unsee;
That essay on your father has a hold on me!
No matter what you do,
I only wanna blog with you!

[instrumental interlude]

You said yes when I emailed you
To ask if I could post;
Now I’m trying hard to write
A piece you’d want to host!

Now listen, Doctor --
I learn more about your heroes every day
From David Smith and Tony Ives to Robert May!
‘Cause you started something
With your great prose --
There’s no “decline effect” as far as interest goes!
No matter what you do,
I only wanna blog with you!
No matter what you do,
I only, I only,
I only wanna blog with you!
