So a little while back, I promised (perhaps foolishly) a HoHoTO rap that would be done after attending the event. Well—here you go, guys! I followed through with it and got it done! Let’s take a look at what it took
Note: We got to $62K in the end, so my facts were a little outdated. My bad.
Creating a HoHoTO Rap
Step 1: Go to HoHoTO – check!
Step 2: Write several pages of lyrics about the event and how fun it was:
Check!
Step 3 – Rap it! CHECK!
To the tune of The Luniz’s “I Got 5 On It”
Intro
Shout out to cherrysberries—without her, I wouldn’t have known about HoHoTO in the first place. Shout out to the organisers, volunteers, and all the people who made it happen. If you weren’t there, you don’t know what you missed.
That’s right. Let’s do this. And heeeere we go!
Verse 1
Yeah, yo yo, T-O
‘Twas HoHoTO
In 2-0-1-0
We rocked that fo' sho
If you stayed at home
To save all your dough
Then you missed out, bro
The drinks flowed fo' shoooooo
Aiyyo, up in the Mod Club, it’s Thursday night
Whippin’ out smartphones, gettin’ game right
Yo – tryin’ to raise cash, the Daily Bread needs it
Where’s the solution – why can’t we be it?
Enter the event, HoHoTO
Packed to the walls, man look at them go
Dropped cash, admission, you lookin’ good
Cop raffle tickets just like you should
Got tons of prizes, this ain’t no joke!
I’m now realizin’ I’m gettin’ coaxed
Get glamour shots on the second floor
Or tweet #hohoTOdj for some flow
Raised $61K, feelin’ successful
Back to work Friday, hope it ain’t stressful
Think it’s all over? Then heed my caution
Get ready for Monday, Hangover Auction
So check your RSS, check your blog feeds
Keep it up to date, follow my lead
If you ain’t at the party, can’t get your boogie on
So back it up like you got a black or white hoodie on
Chorus
HoHoTO – crazy partyin' for real
HoHoTO – if you weren’t there, what’s the deal?
HoHoTO – we raised a massive sum of cash
HoHoTO – the Christmas party with a hashtag (roll call!)
Verse 2
So many names there might know a few
ambermac present, Lauren was too
mads_kassinger, ccath and kelly d
dan_l, rowena and my main man Z
kat and chels_mcd got the hats that blink blink
Make sure you don’t blink, ’cause there goes clickflick
Speaking of that click, don’t forget clickryan
Givin’ birthday cupcakes without tryin'
Go, Christina, it’s your birthday
And yes we partied like it’s your birthday
Affan, Digiteyes, Nicole – love those three
A party ain’t no party without Val and Lucy
If your name ain’t mentioned, well I’m so sorry
Gotta meet doomz at next year’s party
When pronosher talked to doomsdayblaze
He switched it up to doomzTO the next day!
Chorus
HoHoTO – crazy partyin' for real
HoHoTO – if you weren’t there, what’s the deal?
HoHoTO – we raised a massive sum of cash
HoHoTO – the Christmas party with a hashtag
Verse 3
2011, it’s 'round the corner
Better keep HoHo on your social sonar
Only went once and I’m bitten by the bug
I hope you can dance ’cause we cuttin’ up the rug
So get on Tweetdeck, bust out that iPhone
Get interactin’, get into my zone
You got about a year, get your act into gear
So you partyin’ with friends instead of your peers
So let’s feed the hungry, let’s feed the children
Too many people starve – that’s on the real, man
That number’s growin', let’s try to show it
You could be helping, and yes you know it
So to my tweeples, and all my techies
We could be more like Ryan McKegney
This your boy doomsday now and forever
Have a great Christmas, see you next December!
Chorus
HoHoTO – crazy partyin' for real
HoHoTO – if you weren’t there, what’s the deal?
HoHoTO – we raised a massive sum of cash
HoHoTO – the Christmas party with a hashtag
I’m calling it a night. You can check my actual HoHoTO blog for the full story!
