Twitter has spawned an entire ecosytem of apps and other sites that extend its power to interact and influence others. Of course, you can Tweet,  but did you know your could Retweet, Twhirl, Twoosh, Twitterfeed, Twitteroo, outTwit, madTwit, teletwit, twessinger and ofcourse you can post to your Twitwall!

Hard core twitterers are tweeps, tweeple, tweetstars or members of the twitterati.

And you know you are a twitterholic when you lie about how much time you spend twittering less your friends and loved ones try to organize a Twittervention and send you to TwitterRehab!

But what Twitter doesn't have yet is its own twune... an anthem that tweets to the very reason why we twitter our time away within the digital halls of Twittersphere!  So here is my answer to fillin' that void. Sit back and enjoy the old classic "Follow You, Follow Me" by Genesis!  Crank up the speakers and Twenjoy!  Props to @productpro for tweetin' me on this the other day...

Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly , Ireland . It has a population of approximately 300 people, has a Roman Catholic church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and two pubs. President-elect of the United States Barack Obama's great-great-great maternal grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County , Indiana . Kearney 's father had been the village shoemaker, then a wealthy skilled trade.

And now for the SONG...Crank up your speakers.

Here's the lyrics to sing along:

No one as Irish as Barack OBama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
 
You don't believe me, I hear you say
But Barack's as Irish, as was JFK
His granddaddy's daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, well known to you all

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

He's as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
He's Hawaiian he's Kenyan American too
He’s in the white house, He took his chance
Now let’s see Barack do Riverdance

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

From Kerry and cork to old Donegal
Let’s hear it for Barack from old moneygall
From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara
There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
From the old blarney stone to the great hill of Tara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

2008 the white house is green, their cheering in Mayo and in Skibereen.
The Irish in Kenya, and in Yokahama,
Are cheering for President Barack O’Bama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama

The Hockey Moms gone, and so is McCain
They are cheering in Texas and in Borrisokane,

In Moneygall town, the greatest of drama, for our Famous president Barack o Bama

Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama
There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama

The great Stephen Neill, a great man of God,
He proved that Barack was from the Auld Sod
They came by bus and they came by car, to celebrate Barack in Ollie Hayes’s Bar

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
