About

On July 29th, 2004, Newgrounds user burtonearny uploaded a flash animation set to his own original composition, “The Llama Song.”

The same video was later uploaded to AlbinoBlackSheep in 2005.

This wacky and random song quickly took off all over the internet and created a meme.

The lyrics:

here’s a llama
there’s a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama
duck

llama llama
cheesecake
llama
tablet
brick
potato
llama
llama llama
mushroom
llama
llama llama
duck

i was once a treehouse
i lived in a cake
but i never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
i was only three years dead
but it told a tale
and now listen, little child
to the safety rail

did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama
on the llama
llama’s llama
tastes of llama
llama llama
duck

half a llama
twice the llama
not a llama
farmer
llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama
duck

is THIS how it’s told now?
is it all so old?
is it made of lemon juice?
doorknob
ankle
cold
now my song is getting thin
i’ve run out of luck
time for me to retire now
and become a duck.

Some interesting ideas about its meaning and possible origin: Llama is the name for a “lamer” now better known as a “n00b” in computer society. There was once a popular video game called llamatron.

I lolled all throughout this song and the Obama variant but all the videos (not including the Obama version) have too little views to be considered an internet meme. Also, you need to supply us with moar variants of this moar research about it. Please lurk moar.

OH GOD I REMEMBER THIS.
Albinoblacksheep is full of win.

Maybe most of the youtube variants don’t have enough views, but what about ABS? I loved these vids, but never looked them up on youtube because I’d already seen most of them on ABS.

My friend works at the zoo, and I’m pretty sure he’s known as “the llama guy” because he sings this to the kids.

Heh. I remember this one.

@rofle coptere: ABS is fine as a source but we need more links/citations.

@redspear74: are you able to do more research and fill out the entry so we can confirm it?

Good article is good. Just needs to be cleaned up to sound and look more professional, really. Other than that…
