Subject: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 21 Mar 00 - 01:29 PM Now for the custard throwing seals -- or something just as good! This Challenge! idea comes from Amos (and we all know what a little devil he is...): Beelzebub Bytes! Forget about viruses and malicious hackers; the real threat these days is far more insidious. Your home computer may have the Devil in its data, say Reverend Jim Peasboro of Georgia. "... the Computer Age has ... opened yet another door through which Lucifer and his minions can enter and corrupt men's souls." Rev. Jim says he became aware of the problem from counseling churchgoers. "I learned that many members of my congregation became in touch with a dark force whenever they used their computers," ... "Decent, happily married family men were drawn irresistibly to pornographic Web sites and forced to witness unspeakable abominations." "Housewives who had never expressed an impure thought were entering Internet chat rooms and found themselves spewing foul, debasing language they would never use normally," he declared ... One woman ... confessed to me, 'I feel when I'm on the computer as if someone else or something else just takes over.'" The minister said he probed one such case, actually logging onto the parishioner's computer himself. To his horror, an artificial-intelligence program started spontaneously. "The program began talking directly to me, openly mocked me," he said. Then the device went haywire and started printing out what looked like gobbledygook. "I later had an expert in dead languages examine the text," the minister said. "It turned out to be a stream of obscenities written in a 2,800-year-old Mesopotamian dialect!" The minister estimates that one in ten computers in America now hosts some type of evil spirit. The Reverend advises anyone suspecting that their computer is possessed to consult a clergyman, or, if the computer is still under warranty, to take it in for servicing. "Technicians can replace the hard drive and reinstall the software, getting rid of the wicked spirit permanently," he says. However, there is some good news -- Only a PC built after 1985 has the storage capacity to house an evil spirit, the minister explained. There ya go! So, grab your mirrors, salt and wooden stakes and GO FOR IT, CHALLENGE!RS!!

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 21 Mar 00 - 01:44 PM LOL!!! I had forgotten that one. Evil spirits need high storage capacity? How do you reckon, Reverend? STORAGE capacity ?-- one kilobyte for good, two kilobytes for evil? Sheesh....the convolutions boggle the mind! Now, if it were memory capacity he was talking about I could understand how an Evil circuit would require a minimum number of swicthes in order to get complex enough to be evil....but storage? Naaaawww.... Some take delight in cruising for porno Others take delight in cruisng round the Horn-O I take delight in playing with my Whammo And irking all the devils who reside within my RAM-O. Musharingumdurrumdaaaaaa.... |

(note foul, debasing language) It would be even funnier if was tongue-in-cheek, but I have the horrid feeling the guy was serious! I live in Kansas, belly-button of the rabidly religious right ("right rabidly religious?"), remember? I can't resist this one...will send my entry as soon as I can get my guffaws under control! Thanks, Amos--great pick! Lin |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 21 Mar 00 - 03:50 PM Barky -- you go, girl! You should be able to do this one proud.... Everyone know the devil-in-the-computer problem only applies to WIntel machines. Demons hate Macs. There's too much saintliness in the ROM chips and it makes the place uninhabitable. I knew there was a good reason for choosing Macs!!! LMAO. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Barky Date: 21 Mar 00 - 08:14 PM I think only angels like Macs, because Macs are too pretty for the demons, and angels like me deserve pretty things. (Like iBooks.... hint...... hint........) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Mbo Date: 21 Mar 00 - 10:03 PM OK, here we go again... (Tune, The Devil Danced In Empty Pocketsby Joe Diffie Well I was staring at my monitor screen, just the other day "Command and Conquer" is by far my most favorite game to play But suddenly I heard a sound which made my blood run cold The devil started speaking, and havoc started wreaking, on my poor PC's soul CHORUS Now the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time He corrupts my files with his wiles, and won't let me go online And as he raises cain on my daisy chain, all I can do is whine Oh the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time! Well I was down at the Mudcat Caff, checking out the DT As I strolled along, I found a song tailor made for me! And as it printed off, I gave a cough, for I knew it weren't the norm Cause it printed a whole ream of phrases quite obscene in Sumerian cuneiform! Now the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time He corrupts my files with his wiles, and won't let me go online And as he raises cain on my daisy chain, all I can do is whine Oh the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time! Now they say the Net is God sent, you bet--the most useful thing since the nail But I can't see the Maker, just that rotten soul-taker, now I can't even check my mail! Now the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time He corrupts my files with his wiles, and won't let me go online And as he raises cain on my daisy chain, all I can do is whine Oh the Devil plays inside my modem, and he has a hell of a time! --Mbo |

I have about three I want to write for it but am having trouble finding time. Hope this one runs through the weekend... Goddess, hear my prayer, and I will sacrifice a set of old used silk-on-steels.... |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:08 PM Hyp-- LMAO!!! I can just hear someone like Tom Jones doing this song--Love it! Aine, for some reason this challenge really hit my funnybone--could it be my PC is already infested? Can I submit another one, huh, huh, can I, huh, can I pleeeeze? Lin |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Mbo Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:23 PM GOOD ONE HYP!! Ha ha! The Devil's got my Gateway And he haunts my internet The Devil's got my Gateway And he haunts my internet Folks say he's got more power here Than in my TV set I was on my e-mail Just the other day I was on my e-mail Just the other day But all I gots were messages Sayin' things only Satan'd say I went onto a website To buy a new horn I went onto a website Just to buy me a new horn, Lord But when the page it opened up It weren't nuffin' but porn I tried to ICQ my man About our gig down at the pub I tried to ICQ my man About our gig down at the pub But all the names on my active list they changed To Satan, Old Nick and Beelzebub Now my preacher man he told me The Devil's in the Internet Now my preacher man he told me The Devil's in the Internet Mephisto's behind it all And he's trying my soul to get Now all I see all day on screen Is the flame and the sword Now all I see all day on screen Is the flame and the sword So I took myself a sharpened stake And drove it through that motherboard!!!

|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:33 PM Hee hee! Great stuff, Mbo. Lin, you can, according to tradition, submit multiple entries on a single challenge. See Section 3.2.4 of The Gaelic Goddess Process Manual for the Management of Insane Creativity in Virtual Communities which printed itself out mysteriously on a laser printer belonging to a convent of salubrious Mennonite nuns in Akron, Ohio at dawn on Saint Patrick's Day two years ago and has since been circulated in samizdat style amongst sensitive geeks everywhere. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:37 PM Oh, what the heck, I think I will--It's such a tiny little bit of plagarism, I feel sure no one will notice. (Where'd that evil chuckle come from? BatCat, was that you?) This is my last one, honest, I promise...unless of course, it's too late for my PC's innards already...what the heck is that playing on Real Audio? Weird accent, sorta Mesopotamian...? Nah, can't be.... Agggghhhhh! Was that a naked possum that just flashed across my screen? Ackkkkkkkk! Lin (who is getting more nervous by the second...) WHEN THE DEVIL AND THE KID MET UP (To the tune of—aw, you know already) Well, the Devil went down to Georgia He was workin' on a hacker's deal He was on a roll stealin' PC's souls Makin' virus scanners reel. When he came across this young man surfin' On the Web for interesting spots And he slid in the wires and turned on the fires And gave that kid the hots. Ole Devil twisted and the kid's hand jerked And without any hesitations Next thing he knew he was witness to Unspeakable abominations! Buns and boobs and raunchy scenes He'd never imagined before Flashed across his screen while he turned pea-green And his jaw dropped to the floor. Devil whispered soft, "I can show you where A million of these are. You can spend your days in a horny haze With porno movie stars! All you have to do is buy a new drive With a gig of storage or two Load this small pro-gram that takes over your RAM And let it talk to you." But the kid was brave and he heard the lure In old Satan's silky tone. Though his brain was steamin' from mad wild dreamin' And his groin was molten stone, He yanked that plug from the surge protector Picked up his PC and ran Straight out of the house (draggin' the mouse) And tossed it in the can. The Devil bowed his head Because he knew that he'd been beat. And he laid a golden CD On the ground at the young man's feet. He said, "You've won this round for sure," Then he grinned an evil grin. "But watch out boy, there's more'n one ploy To lead you into sin." The kid picked up the gold CD And he spun it in the sun. He told Old Scratch to take a hike And find some other fun. Then he broke that CD across his knee And handed the pieces back. Said "Take your minions with you Devil, I'm switchin' to a Mac!" |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:40 PM Oh, JL! That is effin MASTERFUL!!!! You is a CHAMPEEN!! I love it to pieces!!! I want you to make an mp3 of it and send it in to the Radio program for max to play! Can ya? Huh??!! Puleeeeze! GOD that is good. Tight and bright and just right. Way to go! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Mbo Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:43 PM Only on prob JL...not to be picky or anything, but there's not prechorus and chorus like in the original. You want I should supply the missing piece? --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:50 PM Mbo, that's terrific! Also love your earlier song--I fell in lust with Joe Diffie over If The Devil Danced In Empty Pockets--struck a chord, so to speak. I take back any negative comments I may ever have made concerning your sense of humor (you didn't notice? rats! another apology wasted! Oh well...) Amos! Where can I get a copy of the GG's Manual for future reference? Wait--never mind--just found one on my printer--musta been sitting there since, oh, St. Pat's Day. Now, lessee, Section 3.2.4.... Lin P.S. What in the world is samizdat style? (Duh....) |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 01:03 PM Geez, thanks, you guys--guess something just inspired me and "made me do it"--(were those footsteps? Sorta sounded like a cow, or a goat, or something--weird!) Amos, I'd love to do an MP3, but I dunno how, being technologically challenged--could I talk you into doing it if I ask really nice? Mbo, if you insist on completely (as opposed to just mostly) stealing the song, please feel free to add the missing bits-- WOW! Aine, this is being SO MUCH FUN!!!! Lin |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Mbo Date: 22 Mar 00 - 01:07 PM JL.."Stealing"? FEAR NOT! This is parody writing! It's highly encouraged, and better yet, we are free from copyright infringements too! --Mbo (glad ye like Average Joe...he's so cool!) |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 01:31 PM Samizdat is a Russian word describing how, in the days of Soviet oppression, essays and newsletters offering independent thought, a very dangerous rhing, would be circulated by people from hand to hand, sometimes copying them in their basements on typewriters, or mimeoing them -- it has crept into circulation to mean underground distribution of politically risky stuff. I would be proud to put your song on tape, JL. I'm not polished, but I can stomp 'em in my old gravel voice. I'll have to wait for weekend. I need to look up the tune. I'll put the mp3 on a website where you can go download it at your leisure. If Mbo is going to flesh out the song, he can just post the revision here. Welcome to the Whacky Folky and Jokey Poet's Society.!! Warm regards, A |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 22 Mar 00 - 02:16 PM My, my, my, my, my, my, MY!!! I'm off larning a new song and here y'all are just havin' too much dang fun!! Amos -- Upon reflection on and reference to Section 13.6.6.6 of The Gaelic Goddess Process Manual for the Management of Insane Creativity in Virtual Communities, it seems that lengthening of any Challenge! is allowed upon the whinging, begging and offering of gifts to Herself by any Challenger! So, we'll just leave this open to the air until you have time to send in your entry. Besides, I'm having trouble coming up with something as good as the rest of y'all! Dang! It's great to see y'all gettin' together and helping each other out -- The Spirit of the Mudcat lives and thrives!! Write on, my Challenge!rs, Write On! -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 02:35 PM You're terrific TGG -- I'm grateful. You give good divinity! :>) (blush). |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: MMario Date: 22 Mar 00 - 02:55 PM Amos? you got fudge? *preparing to pout, and that AIN'T a pretty sight!* |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 03:01 PM Dang, man -- here, have some! Wipe that pout off yer mug! I'd hate to be responsible for a huge low pressure area over your part of the country!! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 05:15 PM Oooooo, fudge! Got any chocolate marshmallow? Amos, that would be too cool if you're willing to record the song for me! (and I think you have a great voice, from what I've heard on Mudcat Radio). For the tune, would this help? And many thanks for the explanation of samizdat--I'm always tickled to learn new publishing lore and/or history; books are my thing. Mbo, if you opt to add to When the Devil Met the Kid, be careful--if your mouse starts to move on its own, don't look, just run! (I don't want to be responsible for any permanent traumas or loss of innocence!) Aine--Section 13.6.6.6? How come that's not in my copy? (Hmmmm--there does seem to be a page gap there, though...?) Lin (who is going to try to get some work done sometime today) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Bradypus Date: 22 Mar 00 - 06:50 PM So much good stuff here already. For my offering, never mind the quality, feel the length. If you don't know Screwtape and Our Lord Below, I'm sure you'll pick up quickly enough. If you know Screwtape, I hope you'll agree this would be his sort of thing. Don't have a tune, unfortunately - it came to me as a sort of rap - but if anyone has any suggestions ... Screwtape's New Strategy
Screwtape said to his demons one day Now listen close to what I've got to say. Our Lord Below isn't pleased, I fear Our quota of souls has gone up for next year. The old ways won't be fast enough So new technology's the only stuff
Computers now is where it's at An opportunity for us, so we can wax fat Just get yourself in your victim's PC And use that new technology The computers may be new, but the sins are the same And we'll soon get good at this computer game
Now Anger's an easy sin to induce And to make this work here are my views Just find an important file or two And corrupt their contents – that will do Your victim gets angry, and you can grin That's the first computing deadly sin
If it's Sloth you want, then you've got the tools Bill Gates provides to all these PC fools There are games like Solitaire and Freecell too Get them hooked on those, that's all you've got to do They'll soon be playing 'just one more game' While producing nothing – and we're to blame!
For Lust, get your victim on the Internet It's the best for Lust that's been invented yet No matter where he goes, in a couple of clicks You can have him viewing unsuitable pics Or spam his e-mail to send him links And encourage his habit, whatever he thinks
For Envy and Pride the recipe's the same There's plenty of scope in this computer game For someone or other has a flatter screen Or a faster cpu, that will turn them green For Pride set up your victim well With more ram, fast modem– then with pride he'll swell.
Gluttony is not an easy sin to try In the PC world – but no need to cry Though the chips need salt, there are mega bytes Memory greedy apps will put our world to rights And as long as we can still inspire greed For Our Lord Below we'll get the souls we need
For Avarice I've got an excellent plan To tempt even the most upright man Just use lots of words beginning with 'e' – e-commerce, e-startup – then we'll grin with glee As he reads of others making profits obscene His love of money means we've got him clean
So you see my plan for this PC age The new methods of war we'll wage The methods may be new, but the sins are the same Seven ways we'll catch them in this PC game And Our Lord Below with joy will smile And maybe be pleased with us – for a while!

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 22 Mar 00 - 07:05 PM Bradypus -- I hereby decree you the Winner of The El Supremo Golden Cow Chip with Gotcha Sauce! Boy howdy -- angst, humour, relevancy AND rhythm . . . I do believe my oft-repeated 'Well done!' does even come close this time . . . you've skunked us again, ya deeveel! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Bradypus Date: 22 Mar 00 - 07:13 PM Gotcha Sauce - yum, yum! Sorry I seem to have messed up the formatting this time - the verses have 6 lines each, if it helps. Bradypus |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 08:11 PM Brady, that is toooo good. Theology-in-Rap-Master th'art, and all lesser rapping theologists must from you take instruction! LOL! |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 22 Mar 00 - 09:57 PM Good grief, Bradypus! Funny and serious both, and you even remembered all of the seven deadly sins! Well done!! (Mutter, mutter, mutter, envious, me? Heck no--bet s/he doesn't know the names of all seven dwarves!) **BG** Lin

|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: ceitagh Date: 22 Mar 00 - 10:54 PM Bradypus! that was awesome...relevant, funny, *and* semi-literary! C.S. Lewis would be proud....(or maybe not...i don't know what he thot of folk music) :-) And you managed to get all 7 in there too! pax ceit |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Eluned Date: 22 Mar 00 - 10:57 PM LOL!! YOU GUYS (GENERIC TERM) ARE GREAT!!!! Are they funnier if you use familiar songs? I'm not all that good at this, but I had a thought concerning the tune for "False Knight on the Road", and was wondering if using an obscure tune might make it less fun/funny/catchy.... |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 23 Mar 00 - 12:03 AM Eluned, Ancient, just old, yesterday's or no tune at all -- We'll take it!! Let's see whatcha got -- Sounds like a great idea to me! -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: GUEST,Homeless Date: 23 Mar 00 - 12:13 AM Bradypus that was superb. But now I'm gonna have to re-think my whole strategy - I was gonna use the sins and just hadn't yet gotten it typed up. (That darn envy) |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Eluned Date: 23 Mar 00 - 12:54 AM I'll get back to you guys later with something .... if I could only find the _lyrics_ to "False Knight..." I could get the pattern down better. It's a very fast-paced, question-and-answer tune. I have to keep telling myself "The woods would be silent indeed if only the best birds sang".....I'm really not as good as what I've seen so far. I just like music so much it kind of perks around in there and now and then comes out. |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Hyperabid Date: 23 Mar 00 - 03:55 AM Oh I see... I go to bed and you've all written songs while I've been asleep (huff)! How's a guy supposed to keep up in a 24 hour world - I was just thinking about this the other day when my computer said to me:- "You shall be the pawn of the dark one!" At the time I was surfing www.mammon.co.hell looking at a unique range of high power home barbecues... Anyway I digress... Well done to all lyrical twiddlers, fiddlers and muddlers! Hyp :-) |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Homeless Date: 23 Mar 00 - 09:45 AM I've never, in my life, ever had any desire to write songs or lyrics. Then I got on Mudcat and saw these challenges. That being said, here's my submission for this challenge...

|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 23 Mar 00 - 10:03 AM Homeless -- I refuse to believe that you haven't been writing songs all your life -- you're just too dang good!! That was great! Does it have a tune? And don't forget to give your opus there a title. Well done, my friend! Eluned -- Now come on, jump in here with the rest of us! It's no good sitting on the bank and whinging that you can't swim as well as the rest of us -- see me dunking Amos over here? And notice that Bradypus just pulled Mbo's britches down? See, we're all equal here. We all promise to applaud your 'swan dive', don't we gang? -- Áine |

I don't have yer britches, dear...may Mbo borrowed them -- his sem to be missing... Homeless, i concur with TGG's assessment -- you have the makings of a Master Craftsman. Let there be songs, and let them begin with you -- you've got the Stuff. "...demon, devil, minion, wicked ilk or evil ghost" is a particularly great line! A |

(Fast pace/strum....latin almost) Am c g What do we care about ourselves, seeing but blind. Am c g Shadows, window pane, mirror design. Am c g Called you on the phone, but I talked with the air. Am c g Hotel in paradise, the hours we shared. Am c g Embracing, in a dark dusty room. Am c g Echo Cathedral, I know you're the fool Am c g My coat is a memory, my heads in a daze. Am c g Turquoise I desire you, mmmmm, yes I do. (Slow it up for the next 2 lines) C G D Am Caught in my doldrums, caught in the time. C G D____ Now I adore you, ououoo (Fast pace/strum again) Am c g Embracing, in a dark dusty room. Am c g Echo Cathedral, I know you're the fool Am c g My coat is a memory, my heads in a daze.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 23 Mar 00 - 03:52 PM Allebone: Don't know it -- I would suggest you start a new thread with an appropriate title and try to supply details of where you heard it and who it might be by ...there are some very widely-read and widely-listened people who check in from time to time. I take it you are not the author of it? It is a pretty set of words indeed. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 23 Mar 00 - 04:07 PM The Ballad of Bill and Lucifer
Bill was a goofy-looking nerd back in the Spring of 74
A man walked in with a sinister grin, and a kind of sulphur smell
ChorusThe Devil came through the Windows
Now Bill was quite reluctant to sign away his soul
And Bill did sell a million, and a million yet again Chorus |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: GUEST,Homeless Date: 23 Mar 00 - 06:56 PM Áine - Title it "The Devil's New House". Yes I do have a tune for it, but I don't know that it will ever make it outside of my head. Believe it or not, two challenges ago was the first song I'd ever written. This is my fourth. I never much cared for poetry (other than the odd novelty) but did have a whole slew of English classes in high school. I just approach the songwriting the way I would an essay for the teacher. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 23 Mar 00 - 09:34 PM Some great stuff in here. I'll sit this one out.
But it's got me thinking - maybe this is what lay beneath some of our recent "unpleasantness" on the Mudcat. (I like that term - it's a bit similar to the way the Second World War was referred to in Ireland as "The Emwergency".) Not so much GUESTS as GHOSTS...
(Not to be confused with the recent affable familiar ghost, who apologised for being grouchy - see thread "Apology from GHOST")

False Fruit On The Bough(to the tune of The False Knight on the Road)
Oh, never eat that apple, said the Lord God on high above; Oh, no I won't do that, says Adam unto the Lord.

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Mbo Date: 24 Mar 00 - 11:00 PM HOORAY KELIDA!! Welcome to the big time! HARP RIBBON HARP RIBBON!! Don't worry about the last line, as an artist you should know that a small sign of imperfection to break the symmetry is often a personal mark of an artist, you know, like leaving the one thread untied in the weaved blanket? --Mbo |
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Kelida Date: 25 Mar 00 - 12:12 AM I'm mostly a perfectionist about a lot of things, but parody writing is really difficult. It's so hard to stick with the original rhyme and meter. Stuff like this always happens to me--I'll be almost finished with a parody and then I just draw a blank. Oh, well--I'm still pretty proud of this one. And thanx Mbo! (Y) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Lin in Kansas Date: 25 Mar 00 - 12:19 AM All right, Kelida! Well done! McGrath, just couldn't resist, could you? (Yeah, yeah, sure it wasn't your fault...the devil made ya do it, right?)**BG** Amos--who, me? Cause trouble and strife? Gee, I'm so sweet, I make myself sick! Couldn't have been me on that last post.... (Bless ye, Mac users, for ye have most greviously sinned...and we might have to whup up on your butts if you don't admit it... Okay, Lieutenant, where did you say that Assassin's Mountain was?) Who typed that????? Lin |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Amos Date: 25 Mar 00 - 12:41 AM This thread gets better and better! Way to go, Kelida. Mcgrath, your usual superlative! Just so you guys know we ar enot fantasizing here, I forward for your reflection the following news from Microsoft: Subject: Truth in advertising The classically-minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen. While the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis," This translates to "The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell." Good to know that Microsoft has done its research. Warm regards, A |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 18 From: Áine Date: 25 Mar 00 - 09:34 AM Wow! I go away to watch a hockey game and catch some shut-eye and look what happens. Why is it that all the great stuff comes in when my back is turned? Kelida - Didn't we know you had it in you? Fantastic job -- I had visions of the White Rabbit from Wonderland performing that -- OK, so I had some rather suspect pizza for dinner last night, and my hockey team did win the game (which always makes my head twirl)...and don't worry about the missing line - you can always call it a 'work in progress'. And McGrath -- We are honored by your company, sir. And a wonderful song. Spooky, is what I'd call it. Especially since the "box" could symbolize anything -- Artful and timeless -- You really show us all how it's done. Thank you. So who haven't we heard from yet?? Oh yea, me. Well, I'm having trouble coming up with something, but I haven't yet given up. I'll see if I can get it together today. Way to go, Challenge!rs -- you're my kind of folks, Áine |

TEAT RAVE (Tune: "Heat Wave" performed by Martha and the Vandellas) Whenever I'm plugged in, Somethin' inside Starts to churnin' And I'm thrilled in my wires. Could be the devil's in me (So, is this to say Luc'fer knows PC?) It's like a teat rave Churnin' in my parts I can't keep from spyin' On bare and naked tarts. Whenever his balls of flame Roll over my brain I squeel, yzzdzzh dzzzdzd, I squeal with surging gain. Has my short circuit gone cuckolding me Or is this what "play rough"'s supposed to be? Just like a teat rave Churnin' in my parts I can't keep from spyin' On bare and naked tarts. Sometimes my monitor's gaze Flickers out of its phase. You can't retrain it; Why can't you stand it? Ain't you never seen guys kiss before? Or girls having sex in eighteen odd ways You don't know how to do? My hard drive is blazin' Like a teat rave Churnin' in my parts I can't keep from spyin' On bare and naked tarts. Yeah-yeah, Yeah-yeaaah, wwwo-wwwo-wwwohhhhh (Teat rave) Yeah-yeah, Yeah-yeaaah, wwwo-wwwo-wwwohhhhh (Teat rave) Don't boot up, Chris-tians. This mouse gets into your pants! Teat rave!!! |
