I spend—I think I’ve mentioned this before—a lot of time at Metafilter. The site as it exists is a product of, and house for, the community of users who have been there over the years (Mefi’s been around since 1999), and so there’s a lot of memorable personalities and landmark moments in its history.

It’s something I’ve thought about a fair bit, and detailed in some sense in entries on ReFi, and so I’ve collected a lot of MeFi trivia over the years by default. And I decided to turn it into a song, with annotated history-tracking lyrics.

Hence:

88 Lines About 44 Mefites. Go there. Listen. Be, probably, confused by all these metafilter injokes. Read the lyrics, click the links, get a little peek into some of the social dynamics of the biggest little community blog on the web.
