My G+ account will be deleted on Aug 19th, 2011 like so many others. So I am asking people to please send me funny videos of you either singing the below song or doing a skit to the words of this song. I will post them.
The song is originally "Live Like You were Dyin'" but with words changed to as an anthem to G+ users like me getting deleted.
He said: "I was just startin to like G plus,
"With a lot of life before us,
"An' a notice came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next hours,
"Singing this song in the shower,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be your G+ end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
"I used words for empowering', I went karoake showerin',
"G+ kicked me off like a kick from on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I **hugged** deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave plus ones I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you feel needed,
"And live like you were deleted'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a circled friend a circled friend would like to win.
"And all of a sudden **hugs** and kissin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost all my circled friends.
"Well, I finally read “My Name is Me*”,
"And I realized this isn't a game you see,
"And I wondered what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:
"I used words for empowering', I went karoake showerin',
"I got kicked off like a punt from a kicker at O.S.U..
"And I **hugged** deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave plus ones I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you feel needed,
"And live like you were deleted'."
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?
"I used words for empowering', I went karoake showerin',
"I got kicked off like a shoe on a Virgin's Honeymoon.
"And I **hugged** deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave plus ones I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you feel needed,
"And live like you were deleted'."
"To live like you were deleted'."
"To live like you were deleted'."
"To live like you were deleted'."
"To live like you were deleted'."

Orginal Lyrics
He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:
"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?
"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
