To the tune of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?"  --with apologies to Roy
Turk and Lou Handman, who wrote the original words and music, but none
to Elvis Presley, because my memory of this song is seeing him sing it
on TV in his later days, all bloated and wearing that huge white
(prancy) sequined jumpsuit.  Original lyrics can be found at:

Note:  I prefer the "ob-seed" pronunciation in this case.


Are You OBSSEd Tonight?
---------------------------------------

Are you OBSSEd tonight?
Are you worried you might
Go crazy from watching the mytharc?
At the end of your wits, having apoplectic fits
When you're reminded of recent CHarc?
Does lack of mail make you want to rip out your hair?
Do you gaze at your blank screen, wish messages there?
Are you yearning for laughs, aching for bubble baths?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

(spoken:)
I'll tell you why I'm OBSSEd tonight.
When I first became a phile my guide was
A lowly mulderist.
Fate made me surf ''til I found... you, my mailing list.
Long ago when I signed up, I loved you at first glance.
I hadn't laughed so hard in my whole entire life but then
Lately you've been stuck in a lull that makes my life dull.
I cry if there aren't posts.
I'd even do homework to keep you around.
Mailing list, baby, I love you.
Even though I get other messages
There is nothing else above you.
I will get depressed day by day unless
You get someone to unlurk.
List, if you won't come back to me,
I'll actually have to work.

(singing again:)
Are you yearning for laughs, aching for bubble baths?
Tell me dear, are you OBSSEd tonight?
