WHEN I WAS

| ALERT: THIS IS A FORCED MEME |
| WHEN I WAS will be posted by the same unfunny newfag until you like it. |
WHEN I WAS is inarguably the gayest forced meme in existence, and moar of the cancer that is killing /b/ - and we're talking about a place where pictures of Kirk Johnson spreading his asshole are passé and dickgirls occasionally dominate. If you see a picture of Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance with the words "WHEN I WAS", launch the sage bombs at full force. "Why is this guy blonde?" you might ask. Well, he read My Immortal and the teenager who wrote it scared the black hair dye off of his head. Draco Malformed, No longer, Gerard way has dyed his hair a gay color of pink(as if there was a non-gay color of pink which you can dye your hair) for his new album. The fact that the mods formerly did not ban anyone involved with this shit was once taken as evidence that the Cancer finally killed /b/. Thankfully, it is finally bannable.
WHEN I WAS can also be used in place of a Bel-Air. Start telling a first person, incestual CP story, posting it as slowly as possible whilst still avoiding your thread being 404'd and then right as it gets to you sticking it in her pooper/vagoo, have her scream/say/moan: "WHEN I WAS".
On the incredibly rare occasions that this meme produces any kind of lulz it only comes from it aping on the successes of other memes or from the trolling opportunities it provides to shame newfags.
This meme can be blocked with rapid application of A YOUNG WARTHOG.
If the thread has progressed on to A YOUNG BOY, use of "I played the silver ball" also works.

Origin
Rumors on the internets suggest that the first sightings of this forced meme date back to March 2007. Since then several variations of it have been spammed over and over again on /b/. Spinoffs include the thread starting with 'WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO LOVE', 'ON A DARK DESERT HIGHWAY', 'I HEARD THAT YOU WERE TALKING SHIT AND YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT I WOULD HEAR IT', and various other shitty songs everyone hates.
DEATH
WHEN I WAS died, along with Gerard Way, on November 27th, 2007.
Lyrics
WHEN I WAS
A YOUNG BOY
MY FATHER
TOOK ME INTO THE CITY
TO SEE A MARCHING BAND
HE SAID, "SON, WHEN YOU GROW UP
WOULD YOU BE
THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED?"
HE SAID, "WILL YOU DEFEAT THEM?
YOUR DEMONS AND ALL THE NON-BELIEVERS
THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE MADE
BECAUSE ONE DAY
I'LL LEAVE YOU
A PHANTOM TO LEAD YOU IN THE SUMMER
TO JOIN THE BLACK PARADE."
NOTE: Do not EVAR expect a WHEN I WAS topic to ever make it past "MY FATHER"*
What the Song Really Means
A YOUNG FUR
BIG DADDY
TOOK ME INTO THE CITY
TO SEE A FURFAG BAND
HE SAID, "BOY WHEN YOU GROW UP
WILL YOU BE THE LEADER OF THE BAND
IN SEQUINS AND IN DRAG?"
HE SAID, "WILL YOU BEAT THEM
AND RAPE THEM
AND ALL THE NORMAL FOLK
THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE MADE
TO IGNORE YOU
AND LEAVE YOU
UNTIL YOU GROW SOME FREAKEN BALLS
TO JOIN THE PRIDE PARADE!?
TL;DR OP is a faggot
This is what you see when you die and go somewhere worse than Hell
Alternate Interpretation
TOOK ME INTO THE CELLAR
AND FUCKED ME IN THE ASS
HE SAID, "CAMERON, IF YOU SCREAM OR
CALL FOR HELP
OR RUN AWAY WELL JUST TRY IT
NOW HERE IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN
HE SAID, "I'LL CHOP OFF YOUR PINGAS
AND FEED IT TO THE WILD ANIMALS
AND THEN CUT OFF YOUR HEAD
AND THEN ONE DAY
I'LL MARCH THROUGH
THE STREETS NAKED WITH YOUR HEAD ON A STAKE
LIKE A BIG GREAT PARADE."Derailing Threads

Special Version
I had a very best friend
Fred was kind with good intent
but just a little different
Oh, Special Fred
mama dropped him on his head
now he's not so bright instead
he's a little bit special
just a little bit
one day, talking to special fred,
he grabbed a brick and he swung at my head
and as he laughed at me that's when I knew
special fred just made me special to!
Now I laugh as I count bugs
I give strangers great big hugs
next to me, fred is fine
yeah, he's a fuckin Einstein
ooh special fred,
now we're not right in the head
now we're not so bright instead
we're a little bit special
just a little bit
Nigra Version
Mah moms wud rokk me in da cradle
In dem ol' cotton fields back home
It wuz down in tha South
Just down in tha South
In dem ol' cotton fields back home
When dem cotton balls get rotten
A nigga can't pick no cotton
In dem ol' cotton fields back home
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne, as the prince of Bel Air
YouTube Poop Version
My father took me into HELL
To see a marching b&
He said, "MAH BOI, when you grow up,
Will you be the savior of Batty, Gay Luigi, and YOSHI?"
He said, "Will you defeat them,
Bowser, and all Massacration,
The spaghetti they have made?
Because one day I'll leave you,
A PhD in kicking your ass to lead you in the Mushroom Kingdom,
To join the Y.M.C.A."
STOP! HAMMER TIME!
When I was a YOUNG MAN,
My father took me into the city,
To see IRON MAN,
He said "Son, when you grow up,
Will you be the devourer of all life?"
Maple Story Version
a beginner,
A Faggot took me into Henesys
He said, "bowguy1538, when you level up,
Will you be the savior of Kerning?"
He said,
"Will you, Strafe them,
King Slime, and all Pink Bean,
The Beanlets they have made?
Because
one day, You'll get fourth job,
A Blue Metus, to load you in the CPQ?,
To join
the Windians,
(Intermission)
When I was,
level 69,
A Faggot took me into Henesys,
To see Fangblade,
He said "bowguy1538, when you level up,
Will you be a ranger?
Batshit Insane Version
My father took me into Växjö City
To see a marching band
He said, "Mah boi, when you grow up,
Will you be the rapper of the Pixie,
The rock god, and the hearses?"
I said, "lol wut"
Then he said "Will you defeat them,
Verina De La Hyde and Vin Diesel,
The Polearm Skill they have cogitated?
Because one day, I'll leave you a Dragtaur
To lead you at Hogwarts
To join the Wanker parade!"
