An Australian singer-songwriter named Kate Miller-Heidke, about whom I know only what’s on her Wikipedia page, wrote this song about Facebook (and Twitter!) called “R U Fucking Kidding Me?” that is kind of a “Since U Been Gone” for the internet age. It’s actually really clever and witty and dare I say, good. It’s a good song. About Facebook. Mind officially blown:


“I don’t don’t give a toss if you’re a pirate or a ninja, I suspect that you’re a pirate but I don’t wanna verify it.” This is my favorite novelty song since “Love, Take Me Down To The Streets,” the awesome fake Paul McCartney song from Role Models.

  1. That was actually pretty amazing! Thanks Lindsay.

  2. How do I upvote this video?

  3. She is very attractive.
    Also, I have Love, Take Me Down To The Streets on my iPod because I am a loser.

  4. This girl is like a hellish combination of Regina Spektor and Nellie McKay (and yes, it’s time to burn my iPod to the ground.)

  5. Oh you fucking, fuuuuckinggg… ffffuck.

    • wow you should downvote me for this awful!! mistake of HTML on my part. I’m not even joking or being sarcastic. do it, kill me.

  8. “R U fucking fucking fuck” -My favorite lyric

  9. 2:27 made me LOL. But was she performing at Sunset Home for the Elderly where no one laughed at her performance because they didn’t get it? Or was the camera the only audience?

    Well anyway she reminds me a lot of Kate Nash. Kate Nash-up?

  10. I want to be facebook friends with her

    +1 to lindsay for finding a way to mention something Paul Rudd related. Congrats!

  12. I’m still reeling from learning that Aaron Sorkin is working on a movie about Facebook. Like, are you serious? Really? You’re seriously serious? The creator of West WIng and writer of YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Facebook. I don’t get it. pull the plug.

  17. Australian here – Kate’s great, a couple of other ones to youtube: An operatic cover of psycho killer and another novelty song about Australian Idol… I imagine alot of the jokes apply to each country’s idol.
