Randi Zuckerberg has once again released a music video. This time, Mark Zuckerberg’s sister made an NFT parody song drawing from the 80s vibe. Sounds harmless, until you see it on Twitter.
Randi’s crypto song was cringe
At least, that’s how most of the Twitterverse reacted.
Thousands of retweets and quote tweets have gathered since Randi dropped her “WAGMI” song on March 1st. More and more comments have been coming.
Despite all the nasty comments, Randi’s NFT song was supposedly a proud celebration of the women of Web3.
She, along with a few women of NFT, introduced the most common acronyms in the blockchain space. Her objective: to welcome newcomers and give them insight into the metaverse, in verse.
A decade ago, I sang this song on Broadway. Today I sing this song, surrounded by new friends, as a rallying cry for the women of web3. Together, we can accomplish anything. And have fun doing it! #WAGMI

So, Mark’s sister was happily singing. But, not everyone felt the same way about her creative expression. Most people didn’t like—no, they hated—the video. Comments kept rushing. Almost everyone’s bashing Randi even days after she shared her song in a tweet.
Was Randi’s masterpiece that ugly? Let’s take one more look.
Mark Zuckerberg’s sister and her NFT parody song
See this 2-minute video for yourself.
So, what do you think?
To be fair, Randi was true to her purpose. The song was to be a “rallying cry for the women of web3.”
Indeed, four of the women you saw on the video were founders. They’re Maliha Abidi (Women Rise), Sara Baumann (Women and Weapons), Lisa Mayer (Boss Beauties), and Mai Akiyoshi (Curious Addys).
Also, the WAGMI parody song was set to the tune of Twisted Sister’s classic, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Randi’s parody says “We’re All Gonna Make It” instead. That’s a common slogan in Web3 communities, and it’s what #WAGMI stands for.
Crypto acronyms Mark Zuckerberg’s sister used in her WAGMI parody
Aside from WAGMI, Randi introduced a bunch of other crypto jargon in her music video. Here are some of them.
- DYOR – Do Your Own Research. Crypto enthusiasts often say this to any newcomer. It tells how fast misinformation can spread about investing in new NFT projects or blockchain games.
- BTD – Buy The Dip. Traders say this when suggesting to buy a specific cryptocurrency during a price dip.
- ATH – All-Time High. It refers to the highest value a crypto asset has ever achieved in a market or exchange.
- HODL – Hold On for Dear Life. Crypto enthusiasts say this as a mantra. It speaks of going long-term with cryptocurrency investing.
So what’s the big deal about the Randi Zuckerberg NFT song?
Nothing much, really. The acronyms turn out to be helpful, after all.
But if you mean the cringeworthiness of the song, yes. It may indeed be distracting. Still, it’s not much of a big deal for anyone who doesn’t really care.
Now, what if someone could care? And of all people, what if it’s the band Twisted Singer? What if singer-songwriter Dee Snider has something to hum about it? Remember, Snider wrote the song “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
Apparently, the band’s lawyers are now working on their complaints concerning the fair use of their song.
At the moment, we don’t know how this would affect both parties, Randi and Twisted Singer. But, we do hope musicNFTs will soon solve music copyright dramas such as this for good.
