Posted by on Jan 12, 2010 in blog, Videos | 2 comments

If you haven’t heard of the Shorty Awards, get out from underneath that rock and check them out!! These are the awards of Twitter basically… short content… great content… entertaining content. Since I really want all of your votes, I figured I should earn them so I put together this little “I’m on a Boat” parody which I’ve titled “I Want Your Votes (Shorty Awards)”.

Yes, I’ve put together this video to earn your votes for the Shorty Awards in the #smallbusiness category. If you find the video amusing or entertaining, consider popping over to her voting page and dropping me a vote in the #smallbusiness category.

The entire video was shot, edited, sung and ‘produced’ by yours truly.

If you want to sing along, lyrics are below ;)

I Want Your Votes (Shorty Awards)

Shorty…
Aww yeah… get your mouse buttons ready…
This vote’s about to go down
Everybody watching this hit the world wide web…
Vote for me in small business yo
I want your votes now… let’s go…

I want your votes, I want your votes
Everybody vote for me cause I’m pimping for your votes
I want your votes, I want your votes
Shorty Awards, small biz category yo

I’ve owned a biz for five years take a look at me
Straight flowing on the web for y’all to see
Busting business figures all the while taking notes
You can’t stop me now web cause I want your vote

I’ll build your websites
I’ll pimp your products
I’ll even paper pape with the Xerox
You want a Twitter Tweet?
Or a Facebook nod?
Vote for me and I’ll put ya on my iPod

I hail from Canada but I don’t say eh
I do my business, just the same ol’ way
But this ain’t Florida, this is cold as it gets
I want your votes Tweetie Tweets don’t you ever forget

I want your votes and
I’ll wear your brand and
I want it so bad I’ll write a biz plan

Not on Twitter? Then you’re sure not me-ohhhh

Get your vote on cause this vote is real!
Small biz I want your votes and I love ya
Small biz cause it’s my life and I wantcha
I’ll share the love with y’all if I get ya
So go vote and I’ll make noise for ya

Hey ma if you could see me now
Typing fast, sweat across my brow
Gonna take my biz to the moon somehow
Like Captain Picard said anything is possible!

Yeah, never thought I’d pimp your votes
It’s a big ol’ Interwebs road
Yeah… All uh ma peeps online
Inspired me ohhhh
Never thought I’d see the day
With a big award up in the air

I want your votes, I want your votes
Everybody vote for me cause I’m pimping for your votes
I want your votes, I want your votes
Shorty Awards, small biz category yo

    Hi Mike!

    I did! It's not perfect as I just shot it using iMovie but I'm going to purchase Final Cut Express and try the green screen abilities in there. Also, I am getting a back light :)
