The Day They Slowed Ol' Mudcat Down by mousethief (with apologies to J. Robbie Robertson)
Alex Riggle's my name And I code data runs for Boeing And I like surfin' the web While my programs are up and going Mudcat was a wonderful find I could hang there and enlighten my mind There's not much to do while my code is engaged Except hang out on the Mudcat "all threads" page
But the day they slowed ol' Mudcat down I got an error warning The day they slowed ol' Mudcat down My afternoon was boring I went Wah, wa-wa-wah, wa-wah Wa-wah, wa-wah, wa-wa-wah, wah wah
I emailed my wife at her office Till finally she said to me, "Look, I've got work to do. Don't mail me so much, sweetie." Now I don't mind choppin' code And waiting for my programs to load But once they are running I get bored I like surfin' to Mudcat, but Oh Lord,
The day they slowed ol' Mudcat down (etc.)
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' slob And like my mother before me, I took an office job I was 23, loud and brave When I started writin' code all day These data jobs take so long to run While I'm waiting I want to have a little fun...
