Pramming Song Parodies.

Bad Song Parodies:

Does your ISP lose your data, from your Web page overnight?
If you insist they back it up, do they format it in spite?
Can you cache it on your hard drive? Or defrag it left and right?
Does you ISP lose your data, from your Web page overnight?
(With apologies to Lonnie Donnigan.)

I actually have a huge collection of programmer-related song parodies, including such gems as:

• You Can't Parse This (MC Hammer)
  
• Both Sides Now -- "I've looked at Cobol from both sides now..."
• The DEC man cometh. -- "... when the DEC man came to call. The VAX wouldn't boot, I wasn't getting VAX at all."
  
• Boot it. (Michael Jackson)

But I've decided not to torture you with them further.

Don't forget the classic "Killing my software with Windows" ;-)

I suppose I could put them on my website, but you realize that most of them are purely textual, don't you? I have very few in .mp3 format.

Hey, filks are always popular.. record 'em, get some background singers, and you might have yourself a popular site ;)

Being the sort who thinks that filk music should be sung by those who know how to sing, I'll stay quiet.

I thought "Boot it" was pretty funny. Have you heard "Stout", by
"Cheers for Beers"?
