48 CommentsAnd now for something that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day: three Columbia seniors pay a musical tribute to the Balloon Boy saga:
It may not be the best in autotuning or dancing, but dammit, the chorus is catchy enough to be third on NYMag’s Top Five Balloon Boy Tribute Songs.

@hey bwog no reporting on the meeting that happened tonight in response to rajat roy’s controversial spec article spec?
@Too bad it was kind of a pointless meeting…
They did icebreakers for an hour and a half and ultimately all said that they should do more events with other groups.
@Oh silly fools... in our anger we seem to have overlooked the true spirit of this post: balloon boy is alive! he wasn’t even in the balloon!
@ldog ahhhh rick i love youuu you are too cute
@it's on msnbc http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#33389466
pretty sweet. on the rachel maddow show
@BWOG Where are all your posts in the last four days? This has been a really weak showing. You’re barely even a blog anymore you update so infrequently.
@Wait seriously, Bwog. Why have you sucked so much lately?
@Wait seriously asshole, why did you feel the need to say the same thing again two hours later in reply to yourself?
@Wait seriously, because I am really concerned about how Bwog is letting all of us down. But also because I changed locations so I didn’t think the tracker would track me and I wanted to give twice as much credit to my point.
@Harmony Hunter maybe I can ask these guys where Harmony is :-p
@all i know is obama lies…balloon boy dies.
@holy moly ben velez is a fuckin god
@When GOD comes down from heaven to judge us, who do you think he will damn first, Joey and co. in the video, or the rest of us?
@balloon boy will he come down in a big shiny balloon? or will it just be a ploy for to have a new reality show starring god?
@good effort on their part – and a welcome distraction from midterms. bwog haters have been and always will be tools. not worth getting heated about it though
still, as far as the song is concerned, I think jay says it best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z13AjI8n4I&feature=fvw
@hahah i know all of them and still do think these things,
but thanks for that
@OMG VARUN Shut the fuck up.
@Tool Central = Varun
@umm you should probably rethink your definition of tool…varun is one of the most genuine people i have ever met in my entire life.
@Dear Rick MARRY ME.
@RECAP PLEASE what did Pascua say?!?!
@he said... http://bwog.net/publicate/index.php?page=post&article_id=7373

@funny part is the nymag didn’t mention this fact
@HECK YES!! joey please get famous!!!
@oh he will i sincerely believe he will be famous .. i mean how could someone with that much talent not hit it big?
@Anonymous Hahhahah way too funny. Good work guys; this definitely brightened my day!
@amazing!! Ugh, love it. hilarious.
@awesome you guys are hysterical. this is amazing.
@science major This is cool I guess, but where do these guys get the time?!
@Oh and I def know that at least 2 of these guys are science majors too…Rick is in SEAS.
@in the words of miranda HATERS BACK OFF
@yay Joey! This is great!
@LOVE this! great video. love you joey!!
@lol joey “i got a nosejob but lie about it and deleted all my pre-nosejob photos on facebook” goldberg is one of the gayest people i know, along with those other two in the video.
and yes, ben is.
@haters BACK OFF!!
@UGH I hate all of you haters. Do you even know any of these people personally? You’re just jealous because they do creative things with their lives that get attention, unlike you, who can just sit behind your computer and wallow in your solitude.
please go away and let this be what this is: a fun little video made by columbia students in the middle of this midterm stress. take your hate elsewhere.
@seriously? you’re a dickheaded, resentment pustering nipple of an ugly cruella deville.
and you’re totally a jealous gay.
@ahahaha nice little ray of joy in the midst of these awful midterms. thanks guys
@ugh that is so annoying.
And the thing is, these a cappella kids are the ones who will go on to write more annoying things for profit at disney and abc family and then you’ll have to deal with your kids channeling them one day. peter pan manboys who will forever haunt the airwaves.
stop them now before they can do more harm.
@wow, #4, if you’re bitter and jaded at this age, i’d hate to see you if you ever have kids.
stop shitting on something that was supposed to be cute and harmless, and go get a life.
anyways, JOEY BEN AND RICK YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!
and no, i’m not an a capella kid.
@love you ugh these kids are friends with AJ pascua (the one who made racist comments about Harlem), thus by default they suck as well.
@Joey is CUTE! Anyone know which way he swings?
Pleaseeee be gay!
@Ben ben ben you are so great
@THIS is SO great! Make it viral!
