Or, well, this one is about the FBI. You decide. FBI busted tracking student; demands GPS spy gear return Several days ago a 20-year-old student discovered a GPS tracking device hidden on his car. After his friend posted a picture of it online, speculating about its ties to a secret FBI investigation, the feds themselves came a-knockin', according to Wired.com. They wanted their toy back. Based on the discussion with the six FBI agents who arrived at his doorstep, Yassir Afifi believes he'd been under surveillance for three to six months. When Wired asked an FBI spokesman about the case, he did not acknowledge ownership of the device, but said that there was an "ongoing investigation." Yeah. It's not ours, but give it back. Anyway can we think of any wry songs for this one? |

Gone away! Since yesterday! Now I find that it's very hard to think Since I lost the Bureau's tracker, And I fear a slip of pink. He found the bug SHowed it to Jed. A goddam geek with A devil in his head He took a picture With his iPhone And my boss said "You can't handl;e this alone!" Gone away! Since yesterday! Now I find that it's very hard to think Since I lost the Bureau's tracker, And I fear a slip of pink. We came to call At Yassir's dorm With five strong-armed louts along to threaten pain But he said the thing was lost And that Jed was not available to explain Gone away! Since yesterday! Now I find that it's very hard to think Since I lost the Bureau's tracker, And I fear a slip of pink. We went back to Our tracking van When the signal strong and clear again began! It was loud and clear A good seven bars! From a NASA robot on a trip to Mars! Gone away! Since yesterday! Now I find that it's very hard to think Since I lost the Bureau's tracker, And I fear a slip of pink. Now I've lost the Bureau's tracker And I fear a slip of pink. |

12 Oct 10 - 08:47 AM (#3005122) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 10 From: Matthew Edwards More fast footwork from Amos there, with some nice nifty rhymes. All the best to Mike and family, and hoping the crisis is soon resolved. Here's a short contribution in verse:- Special Intelligence We're Special Agents in the Feds We like to track down pinks and reds; And anyone we think is no good - We'll place a bug beneath your hood. And if you have a funny name, We'll track you down just the same; We've bought our bug from Radio Shack, If you find it please give it back. In this case its sad to tell We didn't hide it very well; Our op it seems was rather bungled And so alas! the bugger's buggered. Matthew On the site Alex linked above to there was one truly frightening comment on this story which read:- "As for myself, I don't fear this kind of oversight. For those of you who do, I would seriously question your loyalty, motive, or common sense." |

He found the bug right under his bumper Who it belonged to, now that was a stumper. So he published a picture out on the web and then the EFF Bee of I certainly said: We planted no bug, not a one,no siree; it isn't ours; As you plainly see. It isn't out bug, from under your bumper Who planted it there, is surely a stumper. It isn't our bug, no it isn't at all Some other agency set it to crawl. It isn't our bug, from under your bumper Who put it there, is surely a stumper. It isn't our bug; for bugs we do lack We never bugged you; that is a fact It isn't our bug; why don't you believe It isn't our bug - and we want it BACK! |

14 Oct 10 - 09:55 AM (#3006822) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 10 From: Matthew Edwards The FBI Rules of Deniability There are some things we deny because we aren't involved. There are some things we deny because we are involved. There are other things we deny because we don't know whether we are involved or not. And then there are ongoing investigations. And don't quote me; because I haven't just told you this. Matthew |

14 Oct 10 - 11:48 AM (#3006884) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 10 From: Matthew Edwards @mousethief - Ha! :-) As for the first question, I don't think it could possibly be fitted to a tune but I'm willing to be surprised. I could tell you whether I found it on their website, but then I'd have to terminate you with extreme prejudice. Matthew |

14 Oct 10 - 12:10 PM (#3006896) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 10 From: Amos With a little tweaking it would fit to the tune of "The Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me". "...And there are sins deserving trial which we meet with full denial while we fund them with the taxes you provide And there are secret revelations and obscure assassinations That would make the toughestsoldier want to hide. ..." Etc. Etc. AND etc. A |

15 Oct 10 - 08:40 AM (#3007702) Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 10 From: Matthew Edwards You guys want TUNES???? OK, OK, OK - here's something even a three-year-old can sing along to. Bug Song I went a-driving in my car, car, I went a-driving in my car, car, I drove all around, in and out of town, I went a-driving in my car. I went for to change the oil, oil, I went for to change the oil, oil, The engine was thirsty, and looked pretty dusty, I went for to change the oil. The mechanic noticed a wire, wire, The mechanic noticed a wire, wire, He gave a little tug, and pulled out a bug, The mechanic noticed a wire. He yanked out a little bitty bug, bug, He yanked out a little bitty bug, bug, It was silver and black with a battery pack, He yanked out a little bitty bug. I posted the photo on the web, web, I posted the photo on the web, web, Much to my surprise it was an Orion Guardian ST820 tracking device, I posted the photo on the web. I found out it was a tracker, tracker, I found out it was a tracker, tracker, Yes oh yes, it had GPS, I found out it was a tracker. I got a visit from six Feds, Feds, I got a visit from six Feds, Feds, With a Federal operative, you gotta be cooperative, I got a visit from six Feds. They asked for their little bug back, back, They asked for their little bug back, back, "Its Federal prop'ty, so you better not get snotty," They asked for their little bug back. So now I go driving in my car, car, So now I go driving in my car, car, I have no fears, cos I know the Government cares, When I go driving in my car.
