“Nov. 29, 1989 Today I am going to a b r thday I hoop that I get a gadeebag.”

We were thrilled when YouTube user KiwiDude7 uploaded his own tribute version of the Blood of TigerCat anthem “My Mom’s On Facebook” within a week of the song being released.  We knew his impassioned dedication would be a tough act to follow, but we eagerly awaited more worthy challengers.  However, that was it — no additional tributes surfaced.  How could that be, we wondered.  Had KiwiDude7 simply set the bar too high?

Before long, however, we received an e-mail from a fan in the Czech Republic who alerted us to what may have been the root cause of the dismal dearth of dedications:

First I want to apologize for my English. At primary school we had only authorized German, so I used Google Translate.
Gentlemens, you are amazing! Your video “My mom’s on facebook” can’t I stop watching! I also have a band (amateur, we are first-year students of secondary school) and we would like to at least try to play this song! Unfortunately, I did not catch at childbirth an ear for music, which slipped just before me, so I would like to ask the tabs for this song. Fully understand if you refuse, it’s your song, but it is simply amazing! Thanks for any reply:)

No wonder we hadn’t seen any new tributes — people didn’t know the chords!  Not everyone catches at childbirth an ear for music.  In the case of someone like Brett, it slipped just before him.  (Dan, meanwhile, barely even speaks English, having had only authorized German at his primary school).

So, for all of those dedicated fans out there who want to learn it for themselves, here’s the guitar tablature version of Blood of TigerCat’s “My Mom’s On Facebook!”  Simply click here to download the PDF.

If I could go back and meet my 6 year-old self, I’d bring pencils and folders because they really seem to excite them.  Then I would hold them just out of his reach to taunt him.  I’m kind of a jerk.

But then my 6 year-old self would take revenge and punch me out using the power of his MASSIVE SHOULDERS.

Back Of The Class is proud to present our newest sketch: Chadroulette! Featuring all eleven members of Back of the Class (Dan, Jesse, Brett, Max, Jesse, Brett, Brett, Max, Brett, Max, and Max, in that order), as well as a few BOTC friends and collaborators, this sketch imagines a world in which there’s a site like Chatroulette, except with awesome bros named Chad!  Totally brodacious!

We were going to say that “Chadroulette” is NSFW, but then we realized we’d be guilty of jumping to really presumptuous conclusions about the nature of our viewers’ work environments, so fuck that shit.  (However, if you live with your parents and they’re easily offended, this sketch might be NSFH.)

Maybe I can win back my arm.

At Back of the Class, we have a rigorous system in place to ensure that only the best ideas and execution reach you, our wonderful audience.

To that end, I recently gave Dan some notes on a sketch he was editing.  This was his response.
