So now all that bullshit's over, it's time to look back at the fucked year that was 2008. And I decided that the best way I could do that was to put all the highlights (?) into a lameass parody.
But what song could I rip off that compiles past events into a catchy sing-a-long? Hmmm.
Oh yeah.
A Wrap-up Is Required

Gossip's always churning
Another year is turning
A wrapup is required
And now the year gone
But bullshit still goes on, and on, and on, and on...
