Intro |
Okay, as long as we're on the subject of other parodies, I'll post one I started a while back. I gave up before really finishing, when our tenor claimed that the vast majority of non-computer types wouldn't "get" it, and proved it by handing it around his office and noting the blank stares. But here it is, for you computer folks: |
Hello, my ASCII gal
Hello, my baby,
hello, my HACKER,
hello, my ASCII gal
Send me a kiss by MAIL (BY EMAIL),
baby I hope you're FEMALE.*
If you refuse me,
honey, you'll lose me,
then you'll be left alone.
Oh, baby, email me,
and tell me that ...
I've got a little baby
and she's out of sight,
I TYPE to her across the INTERNET (no sweat).
I've never seen my baby,
but she types alright,
And CompuServe is causing quite a debt.
so...
Hello, my baby,
hello, my honey,
hello, my sys-admin,
Send me a kiss by MAIL,
Don't let our modems fail.
If you refuse me,
honey, you'll lose me,
then you'll be left alone.
Oh, baby, CYBERSPACE
can be a lonely place...
Hello, hello, hello there,
tell me that you're mine,
buzz my modem line.
*this is the best line...you never really know with email!
