Warning: You may have to be a Facebook user to fully appreciate this.

About a month ago, the fine folks at iLike added “Song Dedications” to their iLike application within Facebook. According to their website, “Whether it’s a love-song for your girlfriend or boyfriend, any old favorite for your BFF, or some eighties song that somebody is still listening to, send a dedication, and it will show up automatically on your friend’s Facebook profile!”

I am now certifiably obsessed. I’ve dedicated songs to everyone I know. I dedicated “Round And Round” by Ratt to a friend in the office who loves 80’s metal, “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” by Michael Jackson to my old roommate who used to play the song on Saturday nights, right be he went out on the town, “Old Deuteronomy” by Andrew Lloyd Webber to my friend’s cat, and “Welcome Back” (the theme to “Welcome Back, Kotter”) by John Sebastian to a friend who has been out of the office for a few weeks.

I know this makes me sound like a total weirdo, but if you are a Facebook user, send a dedication and see if you don’t become obsessed, also.
