Subject: RE: There's gotta be a song here!
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your edification and delight. A short song written on the spur of the Y2K moment. I present...Yours,Aye.Dave

With suitable and profuse appologies to.. "Buffalo Springfield"

"MUDCATS Y2K FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH"

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's Bill Gates with a sign over there
Telling me I got to prepare

I think it's time we stop, children whats that sound
Y2K is comming around

There's credit lines being withdrawn
MacIntosh is right if Microsofts wrong
Young people going online
Getting so much Internet before it's time

I think it's time we stop, hey whats that sound
Microsoft maybe going down

What a field-day without heat
Millions shivering in the street
Carrying MacIntosh and Microsoft signs
Saying I'll gladly pay for more Millenium time

It's time we stop, hey whats that sound
The Internet may be going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your threads it will creep
It starts when you're always online
you come offline Y2K comes and takes it away

we better stop, hey whats that sound
Microsoft may be going down
Stop hey what's that sound
Everybody Internet is going down
Stop now, what's that sound
Traffic lights will be falling down
Stop children what's that sound
Bugger all happened I'm going downtown
