As a fan of puns and wordplay, the internet has helped expand my world of enjoyment. When that crosses with music, well there’s little better.
And so back to the work of jimjarmo on YouTube, who painstakingly trawls social media for usernames that pretty accurately replicate, in phonetic terms, the lyrics of songs.
I’m not a fan of Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit, but this just goes to show how a clever idea can keep someone interested. Using Twitter as his base, jimjarmo’s liberal attitude to Kurt Cobain’s pretty impenetrable voice is brilliant from start to finish.
There are well over 300m active Twitter accounts, and hundreds of millions more inactive ones, offering jimjarno a seemingly endless list of odd names to go through.
Maybe you will spot your own profile in the video, maybe you will spot a friend’s. There’s not much more to say, other than enjoy!

And a bit of Abba, too:
