"I can be your Facebook stalker"

Penn Masala pledge undying social networking devotion in "The Facebook Skit." Video
By Andrew Leonard

Penn Masala describe themselves as "the world's first and premier Hindi a cappella group." They were recently featured on NPR's Weekend Edition. But they are doomed to be eternally famous for "The Facebook Skit," set to the tune of Enrique Iglesias' "Hero."

WARNING: If you watch this video, you will be singing "I will be your Facebook stalker" under your breath for at least the rest of the day. So think twice before you click.

I can be your Facebook stalker
I can click away the pain
I'll be on your wall forever
You can't take my mouse away

I just want to add you
I just want to add you
Oh yeah
Why do I hide from the one I love?
Will you call the cops tonight?

Thanks, I think, to Sepia Mutiny for the heads up.
