Greetings, all. As having a bit of fun is never a bad thing, I wrote the following to the tune of “Hooray for Hollywood,” by Johnny Mercer (lyrics) and Richard A. Whiting (music), as the theme for “The Medium Show.”

With all the creativity exhibited here, we deserve our own show, yeah?

I also wanted to showcase the absolute bomb illustration by my good friend . He’s amazing.

I hope you enjoy this bit of whimsy and feel free to contribute a verse should the inspiration strike. Let’s keep it going!

HOORAY FOR MEDIUM!

Hooray for Medium
That screwy platform where they’ll suck you in
Where any content king or budding King
Can snatch the ring
And be a flash in the pan
And any Tony
Can spout baloney
If he spouts it with or without a fan

Hooray for Medium
Where you can be the shit if you’re real bad
Where anything from the algorithm to an earnings schism
Is equally very sad
Come on and try your luck
You can even say “fuck”
Hooray for Medium
