Twitter was quieter than usual on Sunday, Christmas day. So comedy writer Jon Hendren (@fart) decided to make the Twitterverse a bit more lively. He searched popular gifts such as "iPhone," "iPad" and "car," and retweeted the spoiled messages he found.

Boy, was there a lot of ingratitude.

Hendren's tweet collection got a lot of interest. Now Jonathan Mann, the Berkeley-based musician and "Song a Day Man", has turned them into a tune: "WTF?! I wanted an iPhone!" (the title is inspired by a tweet, of course). Mann's catchy lyrics include such gems such as "F- you mom, F- you dad, the economy sucks, but I should get what I want" and "Was I the only person who didn't get an iPad? I mean I got a car but that's a different story altogether."

Twitter proved to be a hotbed of petulance this Christmas; hopefully Hendren's retweets and Mann's song will put some of these disgruntled tweeters in their places.
