"DFTBA"

Written and Performed By
Michael Aranda and Hank Green

Don't forget that brains attract
Darling fetch the battle axe
Decepticons fear this brilliant autobot
Do fish take baths a lot?
Dogs frequently take back apologies
Dreadful feudal treachery breeds atrocities
Darkened forests take bravery away
DFTB DFTB DFTBA
Doctor Freud's Topic Became Afflicting
Damn Facebook, too bloody addicting
I came Down for the baby's arrival
But the Dead father's thoughts became archival
Drunk fish try breathing air
Debutante's fame tarnished by affairs
Delano fears to be afraid

It's so Damn fine to be alive
Until your dorky farting turdface brother arrives
Difficult financial times bring apocalypse
Danes fear the burning acropolis
Donate for the blood association
Don't for the beaux's admiration
Delilah's fruitcake triggers belly-ache

DFTB DFTB DFTBA

Dead frogs teach bored anatomists
Delightful fans that blithely assist
Duel for the best acronym
Dark force to barely apprehend
Dastardly farmers took Bessie away
But she was Destined for the burger anyway
Distro falling through bleak Autumn
Don't forget to be awesome

*end of song*
As you might expect, that was not 100% my work. Thank you to all the Nerdfighters who suggested DFTBA acronyms and all the Nerdfighters who illustrated DFTBA acronyms. But most of all, most importantly, the most important person of this entire project was Michael Aranda.

So I wrote a bunch of rap lyrics and I was like, "I don't know how to turn this into a song."

So I instant-messaged Michael Aranda, and he was like *picture*. That guy is so cool. You need to go subscribe to him. Right now. Go subscribe to him.

And I will see all of you very soon!

DFTB-DFTB-DFTBA!

I spat on my camera.
