Could've sworn Carly Simon did but she denies it. - Akiva Moskovitz

That song was pretty good! Talented guy. - Vincent X

George Kelly wrote one for me on my birthday! If the iPhone had cut and paste, I'd be able to easily link it here for you. - Schlomo Rabinowitz

yes, to the tune of an REM song naturally - Ethan Kaplan

Sure: "The Theme from Shaft. I'm very proud of it. - Chris Baskind

"Oh lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way!" Yup - Tad, Fool

does i hate you die in a sing song way count??? if so, yes! - Mona N.

Uhm...not written, but improvised in a moment of passion...LOL - ♫ Rahsheen™

I'm Henry, your bartending friend; No songs, but there was this girl in AP English who wrote a love poem to me and read it out loud to the class. - RAPatton

Yes but no one ever heard it and, it was silly. Just an ex-boyfriend messing with his guitar and making up different ways to sing my name and add rhymes to it. - Candace Holly

Does it count if I have written songs about myself? - सत्याग्रह [Bren]

yes. This one was (supposedly) about me: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg... - Nathan Rein

Yes... my hubby wrote me a few when we were dating. heh - Daynah

I've had a movie made inspired by me. Does that count? It was a short, and actually got produced with real actors and a director and stuff. An ex-girlfriend wrote and starred in it -- after we broke up -- so I'm not telling you how to find it. - Dan Kaplan

Daynah...are you only here becuase Twitter was down? hahahaha (btw, that song thing? SO super sweet!) @Dan, are you killed off? HA - Mona N.

My boyfriend did...which is probably why he's my husband now. - eve shot first

For $10 I will create a song for anyone and sing it on video - Allen Stern

Mona: She used her interpretation of the end of our relationship as the central metaphor. I wasn't an actual character in the flesh. It was crazy - Dan Kaplan

Isaac Hayes wrote some song about me, but he changed the name so as not to tip anyone off about how cool I was. - ha3rvey

@Allen Stern (allenstern): That's really really cheap advertising! :) I wish I can pay you! Can we find a deal? ;-) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Found it! One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten, by the one and only George Kelly: http://www.vimeo.com/233431 - Schlomo Rabinowitz

@directeur - sure just paypal the $10 and answer 20 questions about yourself and I will create a great song - just watch my twitter song for an example of my singing voice :-P - Allen Stern

+4 Akiva - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

Yes. - Cecily

yes. - edythe

:( - Akiva Moskovitz

LPH: You're on the "T list" for "Tablet PC freaks." I'm on that list too. - Robert Scoble

when the A list is dead, doesn't the B list become the A list? - Eric Schlissel via twhirl

Eric: I thought the A list was dead. I'm so confused. - Robert Scoble

Tablet PC Freaks - I just about fell out of my chair! We call ourselves Tableteers. Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno - LPH™

Me too. There's always a list. - Eric Schlissel via twhirl

I think the list is more like a lava lamp...some bubbles float, some drop. - Andrew Feinberg

Robert, I used to be on the Z-List before you upgraded me. Now, I have no clue. - Louis Gray

You're on the F-list, which is still alive! - Jake (aka Jawee)

Oooh, can I be on the T-list, too? I'm tired of being on the Z-list. Oh, wait, I'd actually need to post something, wouldn't I? - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

Your argument exhibits a confusion of universals and particulars. The people on the A-list lost their influence, replaced by the people on the other lists. Since the power of the A-list is distributed across all other lists, the B list doesn't automatically gain the influence of the A-list. Let's say the A-list had an influence factor of 100, and the B-list had an influence factor of 75. Let's say there are 19 other lists; when the A-list goes away, its influence is spread across the 20 remaining lists, so the B-list only goes up to 80, still far less influence than the A-list had. Thus, influence becomes more distributed. Thank you, thank you, Mark Trapp the Pedant will be here all week, be sure to tip your waitress! - Mark Trapp

I am THE list. (if that is not pompous!! :) ) - directeur via NoiseRiver

There will always be an A-List because we want one http://friendfeed.com/e/d686c7... - Sprague D

I don't think it is. See my comment on the post that started this in the first place. Too long for even FF. Better metaphor is "this season's sports starts vs. Hall of Famers." The reason no one writes about the death of the D-list is because few people aspire to it or are envious of those on it. :) - Lucretia Pruitt

Mark is playing Jedi mind tricks on us again. Whoa. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

How can it be dead if so many people are interested in it? Many here seem to obsess over the Techmeme leaderboard. It's straight out of Yogi Berra "nobody ever goes there anymore, it's too crowded" - Robert Seidman

With the A list dead, everyone else moves up one step in rank. - Denton Gentry

Seidman: I used to obsess over the Techmeme leaderboard. Now I obsess over how many likes Allen Stern gives me. - Robert Scoble

Well..if you really strive to say "I'm on the blogging a list" then..alright! I guess that's kind of like saying "I'm famous on the internet." ..doesn't hold a lot of water when you get off the computer, does it? - Candace Holly

Now, seriously. The fact is popularity is a recursive thing. Once you're at it and keep it for a while: you're popular. That doesn't mean that everything you'll say will be "true" but you'll have plenty of "followers" that will "fight" for your ideas. Which in a sense gives a "truth" value for your opinions. That said, I'm not against A-lister. Of course! Just wanted to say that being an A-lister is the fuit of a hard work... - directeur via NoiseRiver

Haha Scoble. Still, anecdotal FriendFeed data suggest though you've given up your obsession, not everyone has: http://friendfeed.com/search?q... - Robert Seidman

@Candace - not sure I agree - I think I'd rather be famous on the internet than famous in the tabloids... it means I've got a better (more intelligent?) class of readers! ;) - Lucretia Pruitt

@Lucretia - if you're "famous on the internet" you end up on Valleywag. Same thing. (Yeap, I went there) :D - Candace Holly

Speaking as a member of the Z list, I find that I am quite alive. - Vermyndax via twhirl

I feel you @Vermyndax ;-) - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart via twhirl

@Candace I disagree. I bet A-Listers have a lot more things they can do when they get off the computer. Who's more likely to be able to vacation on the other side of the planet? An A-Lister or a Z-Lister? Who's more likely to be able to attend a conference on another continent? Seeing more of the world--crossing more water--holds a LOT of water with me. Of course, you can be unlisted and still be well-traveled, but I don't care. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

It's called Kathy Griffith syndrome. Seems to flare up every few months. - Christian Anderson via fftogo

@LPH we are all on "a list", never sure what the list is though, plus what fun is it to write about people no-one reads or talks about, does every Joe Six-Pack get national news coverage when they drive along the interstate without a seat belt, nope only A-list celebrities get that fun - Justin Yost

Well..let's see..I'm not even on the "z" list. I'm like..negative letters (-z?). I can certainly do all of those things listed above. However, the conferences I attend might have a different subject matter...and are filled with cosplayers and people who don't shower and guys who haven't gotten out of a basement in years...on second thought, I'll stay home. Your last statement sort of summed it up, you follow and pay attention to who you "care" about or rather..who is going to grab your interests. Which is totally cool because that's the beauty of the internet and social networking. - Candace Holly

this is such a bullshit argument - Steven Hodson

there's an "a list"? I feel like the kid that missed the ice cream truck. - Susanne "Renee" Bullo

one of the "fonzis" says "Aaayyy", and we talk about the fonzis. Great stuff. Can we to back to everyone posting interesting things again, please? Oh, would one if the fonzis hit the jukebox? We need some music in here. Kthxbye. - BISQ

The new rule for being on the a-list is cutting in line. - Jim Kukral

@Jim - if someone cuts in line, they have to stay in for recess ;) - Candace Holly

I would kill to be on the dead list, oh wait - adolfo foronda

because they're much less self-important and annoying - Ethan Kaplan

Because no 'List' will ever die. - Eric Rice

I think it's time to get on the "Eh-list" because we could all be a little more Canadian - Mark Dykeman
