P4 Dance

[Rebel]

I found this on another site......thought some might find it amusing!?!
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember how
My HU card used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That it could make electrons dance,
And then I'd watch pay TV for a while.

But April somehow made me shiver,
it chilled me deep down in my liver,
Bad news I'd collected...
I couldn't get connected.

I still remember back that day
When P3 packets went away
But something touched me anyway,
The day my HU card died.

So, ...bye, bye channel five ninety five
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys were sending e-mail replies
Saying this will be the day I retire
this will be the day I retire

Can you write in C plus plus ?
And do you have faith in your local bus
If the driver tells you so ?
Do you believe in Rupert's goals
Can Dexter save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to glitch real slow ?

Well I thought that we were all prepared
'Cause the tv said it wasn't impaired
Your signal strength is swell
But you can go to hell

I was a lonely midaged forum hack
With an incantation and a modem jack
but I knew the cat had left the sack
The day the HU cards died I started singin'...

Bye, bye channel five ninety five
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys were sending e-mail replies
Saying this will be the day our site dies
this will be the day our site dies

For months we'd ignored the threat
And we haven't solved the new card yet
But that's not how it used to be
When the luddites read for the king and queen
with a light they filled with kerosene
And some manuals they stole from you and me
And while Dave was looking pleased
Charlie stole his monopolies
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

While P4's tried to change the scene
Dave's engineers returned to steam
And we had purges of their dreams
The day our HU cards died
We were singin'

Bye, bye channel five ninety five
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And TV's mods were typin forum replies
Saying better days than this will be by
better days than this will be by

And there we were all in a state
A black tv and its gettin late
With no time left to post again
So come on mouse be nimble, mouse be quick
Don't let our forum access stick
'Cause info is the hacker's only friend.

As I watched nothing on my screen
My hands and face were drenched in steam
No 'looper born in hell
Could break that stupid shell

And as the clock climbed high into the night
To call the sacrificial night
I saw damn Dave laughing with delight
the day the HU cards died.
He was singin'

Bye, bye channel five ninety five
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys were sending e-mail replies
Saying this will be the day I retire
this will be the day I retire

I met a girl with a cell phone
And I asked her for a dial tone
But she just smiled and turned away
I logged on to my favorite forum
Where I'd gotten programs years before
But Explorer said the site there wouldn't play
And from the couch the children screamed
The in-laws cried and AT dreamed
their interface was spoken -
Our damn TVs were broken!



And the three things I like to check out most
Porn shows, sports and locals from the coast
Every single one was toast
The day the HU cards died
They were singin'

Bye, bye channel five ninety five
Ran my PC on some DC but the voltage was dry
And good ol' boys were sending e-mail replies
Asking when the P4 hack will be by
When the P4 hack will come by-y
