While there are quite a large number of Facebook-themed songs on the interwebs, few are as cute/poppy/accurate as this little ditty from YouTuber Lynnea Malley.
Great voice? Check. Sense of humor? Check. Cute as a button? Triple Check. This video is primed to go viral, so you should totes share this, like, yesterday.
What do you think?

that’s nice.
She sounds too sophisicated for this song.
And I guess I suck because I think “that’s going on my blog!” instead of “that’s going in my quotes!”
You just say that because she’s a cute girl so automatically you think she’s smart and sophi……oh. You’re a girl too. Hm. Are you gay perchance?
Rules 28, 29, and 30.
At least you did Rule 27 right.
Indeed. I invoke 31.
Meh…I’ve heard better
Yeah I think her lyrics were lacking… I mean, they’re cute and all… but totally cliche and predictable. Not too too interesting. :/
The best part is when she says: “Facebook, Stop wasting on my time.. I know it’s my fault belonging in but I’d rather blame it on my self..”
The rest of lyrics is just whatever.. I mean.. it needs to the heck..
I see what you did there, sir.
And I approve~
I’m pretty sure the lyrics are Its my fault for logging in but i’d rather blame you than myself…….that makes much more sense…….
Wait, you’re complaining about the lyrics, AND YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND THEM?
The lyrics are:
“Facebook stop wasting ALL my time
I know it’s my fault FOR LOGGING in
But I’d rather blame YOU THAN myself.”
You’re a first-class idiot. STFU.
WIN
Yeah – it needs to the heck!
IT NEEDS TO THE HECK!!!
I had to stop watching that when she started smacking her lips. Sorry sweetie but you can go to the heck with the lip smacking.
That was supposed to be the sound of the chat on Facebook.
Well, that was a fail then.
I thought the sound was funny, because you know if you’ve ever chatted on Facebook how annoying it was to always hear that. It was creative and the same concept of annoying for her song.
It’s pretty much exactly how it sounded though… so…
It sounded exactly the same actually
Haha, no, she was mimicking the annoying sound facebook used to make when you logged in.
It used to make that noise every time you got a notification, or message, or anything for that matter
agreed, agreed. totally the heck she should.
But she explains later why she smacks her lips…
You should have watched it completly before making that comment.
But I couldn’t listen to it any more because the lip smacking thing made me want to smack her round the chops.
Tamara is jealous. It’s obvious.
What? Of some lass smacking her lips? To the heck with you!
Yep – obviously jealous. She sounds like those who badmouth the 12-year-old genius in their college class. “Yeah, but he’ll have no social skills!” Nope, but he’ll have a 6-figure salary when he’s 18.
I think I would rather have the social skills, thank you very much.
Somehow I doubt you have those…
No, honestly, I had the exact same problem. Sure, it’s funny that it’s the exact same sound as the popups, but I can’t stand them then either. I always mute the computer when I’m on facebook. Maybe she could simply try the joke one time and then leave it alone so we can actually get through the whole video?
I also wasn’t a big fan of the lyrics…it was just a bunch of observations other people have been making for years sewn together in a way that wasn’t particularly witty.
But I’ll give credit where credit is due–she IS cute as a button and DOES have a decent voice. She should try again.
So, then, you got the point of why she did it – Facebook makes that sound, and it’s annoying. Don’t hate on her because she got it right, durrr.
Hmm…so if someone did a perfect Fran Drescher impersonation from the Nanny and did it over and over again, you should automatically want to listen to it because it’s so well done? It’s annoying. All there is to it.
OK, now that horrible “Mista Sheffieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeld!!!” is echoing through my skull…thanks a lot!
yeah, same here.
meh, not that goood or funny
id cream her.
You’d never get near her.
I know her..
Are you Tim from Uzbekistan?
No I am. I have another alter(Facebook)-ego called John, from Lithuania.
Go ahead…
LOL its good….Everyone HAS become total stalkers. Good stuff
yea……..i stopped at the second choirs of lip smacking.
For being able to endure such mental torture you deserve a medal.
Why didn’t you just turn it down when it came to that… Also, she only smacks her lips for 5 or 10 seconds at a time, so, it really isn’t a big deal…
This video is a total win
It’s totally a FAIL.. Lyrics are totally random and very bad.. just a text that was forced to go with a Let’s-say nice rythm.. and the annoying *POP* sound that reminded me of the Facebook Chat which is a MEGA FAIL as far as I’m concerned..
I would appreciate her effort.. she’s cute.. innocent.. and trying to look cool.. but.. the song is a FAIL.. I’m sorry..
Who the hell would make a song for Facebook.. this just doesn’t have any sense.. well.. you know what?? tell her to make a song about google.. or PayPal.. or Failbook.. why not??
Well as long as you say it’s a fail, then it must be true.
It’s supposed to remind you of the Facebook chat…
Don’t be mad cause you didn’t come up with them. And besides, the song was meant to be funny. It doesn’t need to flow or be good. So when you come up with something better. let us know so we can tell you that you fail
^Like. So true…
It’s supposed to be a joke…
Reading that comment, the author has never heard of this “comedy” of which you speak. Don’t waste your breath… or… finger typing energy. Pure trolling (rafnem, not you)
Yep, she’s definitely one of a million.
how is this fail? this sont is awesome!!!!
Not everything on this site is a fail, people. Jesus… It’s just Failblog’s Facebook-themed site.
She points out the failures of facebook.
Which sont?
She is cute. She has a good voice. Great sense of humor. Song is not super fantastical awesome, but I can’t do any better so, good job. I approve.
I agree with you very much, good sir
QFT. I hope to see her on Conan some day. As for those who didn’t like it (or quit part way through) all I can say is “haters gonna hate.”
Negative comments brought to you by Hatorade®…
She’s good, I can see Ellen picking her up and her eventually getting a recording deal sometime down the road.
Maybe if someone else wrote her stuff. She has an opera voice, you know?
I can see Elen’s Facebook Blown up with new friends.. and the video in youtube that will reach millions views by the next days.. (I know I exagerated.. but.. Who cares.. xD)
Anyone who has used Facebook chat with the sound activated should’ve known what that sound was… It was spot-on.
I’d tap that.
I’d deh that.
alt.droopy-eye.fetish ?
intarwebz, y u not has higher standards?
I did notice that wonky eye of hers. I thought it odd at first, then it grew on me. It adds to her insane cuteness. I would LOVE to nail it!
Her eye?
Yeah, it was. I could only watch half of it, my computer’s being dumb and won’t play the rest…
Holy good lord, she is so adorable, and has a great voice, AND can play guitar! I dig it!
I will make a song of google..
You do that, because I’m sure you have so much more talent than this girl. Why, I bet you can play the guitar, harpsichord and krumhorn all at once, plus write lyrics that would make Sondheim return all his Tony Awards. And I’m sure you’ll get ELEBENTYBILLION hits in 2.7 seconds flat.
He can play the keytar with his toes.
Hmm… the lyrics didn’t flow very well, but it was catchy enough, I suppose.
I understand how you’re trying to go easy on the girl.. but let’s face the truth.. the lyrics are bad.. the only thing that is actually good is the girl..
Do you just sit on this site all day and wait to comment on peoples comments…It’s like your obsessed with her or something and your just some creep trying to look all big and bad.
I was thinking the same thing…weird.
The song was a little lacking, but god damn she is cute.
That was pretty awesome
Love her sense of humor!
Do you mean by chance “her sense of making funny face expressions that aren’t actually funny at all.. and that you do think that this is funny just because of the fact that the girl is cute??”
I wonder why you feel the need to comment so many times when you got your point across in the first one. Personal issues?
You must really hate this girl. You’re really invested in this.
S/he knows her apparently (and read into that whatever you will….):
http://failbook.failblog.org/2011/01/10/lynnea-malleys-the-facebook-song/comment-page-1/#comment-187305
I know that. One minute they’re saying how cute she is and the next, they’re bashing everything about her. That’s why I said they must be invested in their really sad vendetta.
are you some fat girl who doesn’t have any talent aside from mocking other people’s talent? o-o
She’s got a lot of talent, if anyone hasn’t looked at her other vids, i recommended doing so.
+1 for good effort
I like the refrain, her voice is great and she’s lovely too. But the lyrics need some work…
like u guys can sing and have a guts to put it on youtube…
i know rite? if you dont have anything nice 2 say dont say anything at all…
like u guys can sing and have a guts to put it on youtube……..
i no rite? if u dont have anything nice 2 say dont say anything at all……..
That’s not how the internet works, hun.
Or real life, for that matter.
It is how sarcasm works though.
that’s the hanukkah song, (adam sandler) just sped up a bit.
That was cute, I liked it
Although my favourite Facebook song will always be ‘Are you f**king kidding me’ by Kate Miller-Heidke
Agreed 100%!
This is stupid. “Darn” you Mark Zuckerberg? Is this a song she wrote for her Sunday school, or is she just incredibly lame? That aside, I find the lyrics incredibly uncreative, asinine, and boring, not to mention they’re not the least bit funny. Everyone who likes this video just says so because they think she’s “cute.” To whomever tried to share this with me: stop wasting my time with stupid videos that only a first grader or a horny pervert would find the least bit entertaining.
I find your comment to be borderline retarded. Please stop wasting my time with your borderline retarded comments. Thank you.
LMAO!
I think I’ve heard a similar argument from my three year-old niece.
Um, because not everyone swears like a sailor all the time. Stop reviewing a YouTube video like it was a show on Broadway. Please stop wasting my time with your cynical little comments. Thank you.
Darn YOU, Sean! You might as well to the heck, mister!
WTF? You need to the heck, because that made no sense [to me]. I am disappoint.
I’m gay, and well past the first grade, so does that mean I’m not allowed to “like” the video?
TL;DR
Ahahah that was good. My english professor makes that same face at 00:50 lol
I don’t want to knock the sweet girl, but its not really that funny.
anyone else sit through that, and the entire time question would I actually I sleep with her? Verdicts still out lol
The answer is no. If you asked yourself that, you are likely nearing or past 30 or a complete pervert, and she is clearly much younger than 30 and could do better than a pervert.
You can now no longer ignore her lazy/wonky eye.
I was waiting for someone to point that out.
what’s facebook?
Holy crap.
You don’t know what FACEBOOK IS?!
Then why are you on failbook?!
You my good sir, are a idiot.
Don’t feed the trolls.
I really enjoy reading Failbook. It has been the biggest argument against my opening a Facebook account.
OGM!
She can do the same mouth noise thingy that I can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My life is complete.
I kinda liked it… the song that is
She reminds me of Mischa Barton before she became a cream-faced crack whore
Please tune your guitar. Thanks.
I can’t believe that you’re the first out to point out the tuning.
I love this! And such a nice girl, too…
yeah cool video, but this just a pathetic post as it’s not even a facebook fail.
It was a decent song. Is this really viral video material? It was… -okay-. It wasn’t really that funny, and she’s mildly cute.
*pop*
Thanks, failbook, for wasting all my time
I know it’s my fault for stopping by, but I’d rather blame you than myself.
Oh failbook, it would be sublime, if you could post funny things, instead of useless s**t.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Is this this week’s Ted Williams?
Women with guitars singing folk songs…..that’s a fail in my book.
people on the internet posting opinions…. that’s a fail in my book.
People posting opinions about posting opinions… that’s a fail in my book.
People who just copy things to be funny… that’s a fail in my book.
Recursive troll is recursive.
Pretty good, and spot-on accurate.
Now where’s that “Like” button…?
I wonder what’s more awesome about these comments, those hypercritical or those critical of the hypercritical?
It seems being critical of the hypercritical is somewhat hypocritical.
*hypocritical
You didn’t see what he did there, did you?
Why is rafnem raining on EVERYONE’S parade? This is absolutely adorable! I’m totally a Facebook junkie, so I get what she’s saying. Facebook often keeps me from studying continually. Studied for 15 minutes? Break time! Oh…here’s Facebook. Facebook time!
I found her voice and the song rather annoying. Especially when she popped her lips. What’s that all about?
She’s making fun of the annoying “pop” sound Facebook chat makes. Kind of the point of the song, that.
Those who can’t do… Criticize!
I’d definitely hit that.
It’s a fail because she thinks that the “See Friendship” button will tell you the relationship between 2 given people instead of between YOU and another person.
But it does… Two of my friends interacted and facebook offered to let me see their other interactions too.
Because it used to…
This sucks.
I didn’t think that she was neccesarily all that cute, but her voice was great. I also doubt that she was trying to make a deep and meaningful song about fb, so all the comments about how the song wasn’t that great…well…you can the heck.
Wow. She looks a lot like ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ o_O
“I will see you in hell Pachelbel”
I liked Molly Lewis’ MyHope better.
This is…. ok. but it seems like the humor and the
music were each depending on the other as a crutch
to compensate for their halfhearted contribution.
So the whole thing wanders perilously close to vapid.
I didn’t realise the Messiah had an account. I don’t think he is the Messiah. I think he is a very naughty boy.
Not bad. This was better:
Rhett and Link ftw!!!!
my thoughts exactly – no one can ever top R&L’s facebook song
she should not sing. its one step away from a cat singing.
No, she should sing a different genre. Like, broadway, chorus, or opera. She doesn’t have a pop voice.
her voice is better suited for broadway or opera, like Kat said. she was the lead in a few musicals in HS and was in show choir all four years. she’s really, really talented.
Get a better guitar and tune it! I hope you get your head bashed in by monkeys.
I want to date this lady…
This song totally made me LOL!! I have nothing but good things to say about it! It’s so funny how she’s singing, then talking, then singing again; it flows very well within the comedic song genre, and her facial expressions are hilaaarious! I bet she takes drama classes, too lol
Not to mention her voice is beeeeautiful; she hit all the notes dead on omg I wish I could do that, I’m so jealous!
Let’s not be so cruel and cynical, people…I mean, c’mon…nobody’s face is perfectly symmetrical…but her smile is to die for!
wow man shes really good and has an interesting voice i wouldnt be suprised if she were famous
I cant believe no one mentioned how this is in the style of the Bare Naked Ladies….right down to her voice. I consider that a win. Oh well. Am I wrong?
Sounds like a bit of 10,000 Maniacs to me.
I think it’s hilarious how many people have shared this video on Facebook.
Put on your yarmulke, cause here comes chanukah.
She reminds me a little of the lady from Pomplemoose (sp?) only younger and fresher, and possibly better range. Really smart, talented, funny, added bonus of pretty! You GO girl!
Sounds like somebody was overly influenced by Garfunkel and Oates. But doesn’t quite have the talent of Kate and Rikki.
Thanks…
While I do think she’s cute and talented, someone should tell her that Julia Nunes already exists. Originality is priceless.
A better analogy would be this.
http://intertuberecords.memebase.com/2011/01/06/viral-music-videos-my-beautiful-dark-tweeted-fantasy/
She is a musician who dabbles in satire, just like that guy is a musician dabbling in satire.
Double win because she’s left-handed.
She is awesome. LEFTIES UNITE.
Who cares if it’s good or not? She’s hot! Might have to FB-stalk her and maybe add her as a friend . . . .
She sounds like a dying animal. Kinda looks like one too.
now all we need for her is to learn how to play guitar.
seriously strumming the rhythm cant be that difficult
she’s maddd hottt, and can sing. this song is funny. i appreciate…
why they have wooden colored chairs with a white kitchen, I cannot tell…
This girl sounds like the white girl from Chapelle’s Show when he has her read the flash cards.
god i just fell in love
I went to junior high with this girl and live in the same town as her. she’s wonderful. she was in show choir all four years of high school and is a fantastic singer. it’s a FUNNY song that she made up quick and put on youtube. I think it’s hilarious and really good. when you write a song that is better, let me know. until then, don’t be an idiot and bash her just because you can’t do better. go Lynnea.
I think she’s annoying. I stopped watching after the weird poppy noises.
This is my totally honest opinion; eh.
She as an awesome voice that just isn’t right for this song, the lyrics were really not good, they weren’t really even funny, & yeah, she’s cute, but so what? Oh & I understood the piint of the popping noise, but it was so frikkin irritating!! this is definitely not viral video material.
pfft. that’s got nothing on Rocky & Balls I heart you online
Lynnea! I actually know this girl, shes from my school. I think this song is fairly clever and it says something that it’s already been played on CNN and only took like a week for it to go global. If it was as terrible as some people on here were thinking, why did it get so popular?
I don’t understand how people can play an instrument and get to the point where they’re composing songs (the cleverness of which can be debated) and have developed decent singing voices, and they STILL DON’T HEAR THAT THEIR GUITAR IS OUT OF TUNE!?
I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. I might have liked it if the guitar was in tune.
she sings really well
And the lip popping is REALLY doing it for me.
