FWIW, I always enjoy it when it comes up again. Maybe I should start a 
Dueling Banjos Fan Club. :-)

If debian-news carried an item which explains that we're not that musical
after all, I'm sure that would make it to the top of Google's list... BCCd.

Cheers,

Does anybody know, when the next stable release for Debian, will be
Deliveranced? Maybe we need more Deliveropers. :P

If you spelt it differently - Duelling Banjos - you'd get some nice hits
at Google for Duelling Banjos sheet music.

The problem, amazingly enough, is that he did google for dueling
banjos sheet music, and Debian is the number one and number two hit!

This has become a self-perpetuating google-flop.  People google, google
points them  to Debian to get this sheet music, and the act of asking 
reinforces google's notion that debian is a good place to get the music!

You missed the spelling detail -- one l vs two. With the latter, Debian
list archives aren't in the top ten.

Of course, Matthew's post with the other spelling will now probably muddy
that distinction, too. :)

Thanks for that, but you're speaking to a man well steeped in Duelling
Banjos/Debian lore, having been around for many iterations of the famous
banjos.  I just decided this time to give the poor sod a bit of help - and
maybe, just maybe, get this thread to the top of the list instead.

why dont we just put up a page on www.debian.org with the requested sheet music
(or, if it's copyrighted then appropriate links to sites where it can be
found).

we could also put the tale of Google and The Dueling Banjos on the same page.

then make sure that there are enough links to this page that it gets the
highest rank on google (perhaps by editing the archives to include a link in
every page that mentions the song).

craig

ps: i just searched google for it myself and debian is down to 6th  7th place.

Someone should file an ITP for a package that automatically finds and
retrieves the Dueling Banjoes sheet metal music (or even better, package
it if it's free.)

 7th place. 

Hmm...

I suppose another quote is in line to bring our ranking back up... ;)
