Norris sent me a hilarious song by Weird Al<\/a> about eBay. If you have ever placed a bid or listed anything on eBay at all, you will find it refreshingly funny too.<\/p>\n

\nThe “eBay song” <\/p>\n

A used … pink bathrobe
\nA rare … mint snowglobe
\nA Smurf … TV tray
\nI bought on eBay <\/p>\n

My house … is filled with this crap
\nShows up in bubble wrap
\nMost every day
\nWhat I bought on eBay <\/p>\n

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
\nTell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
\nTell me why (I bid on Shatner’s old toupee)
\nThey had it on eBay <\/p>\n

I’ll buy … your knick-knack
\nJust check … my feedback
\n“A !” they all say
\nThey love me on eBay <\/p>\n

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
\nGonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
\n(From some guy) I’ve never met in Norway
\nFound him on eBay <\/p>\n

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
\nWith two seconds left to go, whoa
\nGot Paypal or Visa, what ever’ll please
\nAs long as I’ve got the dough <\/p>\n

I’ll buy … your tchotchkes
\nSell me … your watch, please
\nI’ll buy (I’ll buy, I’ll buy, I’ll buy… )
\nI’m highest bidder now <\/p>\n

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
\n(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
\n(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
\nOh yeah … (I bought it on eBay) <\/p>\n

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
\nWanna buy (a case off vintage tube socks)
\nWanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
\n(Found it on eBay) <\/p>\n

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcett poster)
\n(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
\n(Don’t know why … the kind of stuff you’d throw away)
\n(I’ll buy on eBay) <\/p>\n

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
