RetrObituaries

from M by Mikey Mason

about

There is a cyclical rash of people posting the obituaries of celebrities who have been dead for years. I know these are most likely well-meaning people who either missed the original obituary (years and years ago) or simply forgotten it. I've termed these "RetrObituaries." I'd like them to stop, but who am I?

This song was made possible by my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, Jon Haight, John Woolard, Shouts Out Unicorn, Jeremy Jackson and Jennifer Lewis, and James Doster. I will always be grateful to them.

lyrics

Every now and then (on my feed)
I’ll start to see it again
A well known face (celebrity)
Who passed in two thousand and ten…

I saw this way back when…
Now I get to see it again…
Over and over and over

Here we go again right there he’s
Posting retrobituaries
They died years ago, I swear please
Don’t post retrobituaries

I really wouldn’t mind but… (but I do)
I mourned them the first time
Maybe if you did some research (open the link)
Instead of sharing blind.

I know that you mean well, but
You keep my feed all clogged up
Over and over and over…

Here we go again right there he’s
Posting retrobituaries
They died years ago, I swear please
Don’t post retrobituaries

Nobody’s half as famous
As online the day that they passed,
And again in four years and five more…
