Reminds me of an idea I had of writing a song about linux. (somewhat similar in style to the War of the World's But still they come) A workmate told me aobut this other song which got big on TripleJ called Cows with Guns, I said to him, it's about time for another silly song to hit the charts.
Then The Penguins Come. Then the penguins come, crashing through the gates Then the penguins come, the windows start to shake Then the penguins come, the demons are no match Then the penguins co-o-ome, riding on the GNU None can withstand, as they go from land to land Breaking the chains of those bound to the EULAS Sharing the good news, on the slashdot GNUs No more starving people, freshmeat with opensource for all The new Wine is flowing, Sometimes a crowd pleaser. See the penguins dancing Samba, while they're eating pizza. It's like the Sun is rising, with a Big Blue sky. But freely for everyone, you can even still use Vi. The Jobs are no problem mac, they've almost joined the herd. And though they believed Darwin, you can't see Evolution. You just can't stop the tide, that brings the penguins into shore Though they move slow, it's good to know, they've heeded the call Gnomes and other cuties (QT's) are giving it their best To empower the X GUI and liberate the desk Not as easy as it might Ximian, they strive for a common goal To bring more enlightment and functionality to us all Some penguins come with Red Hats, others have yellow dogs They're really posing a threat, as too, some say Lin does Suse and Deb, some wearing slacks, and theres a man called Drake United they will conquer, and new ground they will take Taking over servers, gathering in clusters Shattering the hopes of the bill, they're the windows-busters It marks the end to piracy, that'll catch you in the net By sharing and combining apps, all our needs are met Then the penguins come, crashing through the gates Then the penguins come, the windows start to shake Then the penguins come, the demons are no match Then the penguins co-o-ome, riding on the GNU Enjoy Chris On Tue, 9 Apr 2002 23:21:38 +1000 "Michael Lake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nick Croft wrote: > > Mike and Martin, > > Thanks for your help.
