There Goes the Neighborhood: Pope and Iranian Regime Join Twitter

There Goes the Neighborhood: Pope and Iranian Regime Join Twitter Lyrics

Remember when your mom first got on Facebook? Then your aunt? How weird that was? It may have taken the olds a while to figure it out, but when they started coming they came in a great wave of confused status updates, “pokes,” and other embarrassing displays.

Twitter, the first refuge for many after Facebook, is now finding its own unlikely new entrants. Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, welcomed two of the more unlikely tweeters on Sunday: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and the Pope.

Maybe the great Christian/Muslim rift will be resolved in 140-character missives. Maybe the ever-impending war with Iran will be avoided due to Rouhani’s Twitter savvy. Or maybe the rest of us will all go to Tumblr, Instagram and Snapchat, where we can waste our time without parents, presidents, preachers and pontiffs mucking things up.

We break down the new jacks’ Twitter game:

Twitter Founder Welcomes Pope and Iranian President to Twitter, Tells Iran to Get its Act Together

President Rouhani Tries to Holla at Obama to Have a Meeting

The Pope’s Twitter Man, Cardinal Ravasi, Proposes That Jesus was the First to Tweet

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
