The 'Parents on Facebook Song' by Brett Domino is a hilarious recap of just what's so funny about having some your older relatives send you a friend request. Domino hits all of their funny behaviors on the head, including things like always typing in caps, sending tons of pokes and always confusing "LOL" for "lots of love."
Even if you don't have a parent on Facebook, chances are one of your friends has a parent who frequently appears in your new feed from liking or commenting on every photo possible. Although Facebook won't be disappearing anytime soon, there are tons of reports showing that some of the younger generations are losing interest in the social media service—perhaps Domino's song might help to explain some of the reasons why.
