The Op Theme

[(naw)mcx]

This was a little ditty gp2.eXe made up, a wee while back, and he wanted me to post it up to celebrate the release of the Pandora.

I'm sure he'd post it his self, but he has had really bad internet problems for months!

Enjoy

THE PREORDERER'S SONG

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
OpenPandora
you do what you can because you must
for the good of all of us
except the ones with Amex.

But there's no sense crying over every bounced cheque
you just keep on trying 'til PayPal gives you cred
and a handheld gets done
running some neat Quake guns
for the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry
I'm being so incere right now
even though you said in about two months
and then kept me waiting
and I was starving for updates
as they came it hurt because
it wasn't ever enough.

Now these points of data are registering Wi-Fi
and you're out of beta you're releasing... um, well, you're releasing, worthwhile!
So many kittens got burned
but think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me
I think i'd prefer to play inside
maybe you'll find someone else to buy from you
Maybe Orkie or quasist!
That was a joke, haha, FAT CHANCE
Anyway this Quake is great
it's running nicely and smooth
look at you still watching when there's business to do
if you look out there maybe a Pandora Cube
I've applications to launch
there is coding to be done
by the people who are still alive

and believe me we are still alive
we're using Firefox and we're still alive
nubs feel fantastic and we're still alive
while you're dying we'll be still alive
and when you're dead we will be still alive
still alive

STILL ALIVE.

 

[Vorporeal]

Awesome.

 

[SomeGuy99]

The Quake is a lie!

No, I loved that. Thank you.

 

[God Ginrai]

That was great. People who aren't part of the community might criticize it because of it not lining up with the melody exactly... but that will be because they don't understand because they didn't go through it.

Anyways, I think we should try to edit the lyrics to include "Confirmed" and "Hellollo" and such.

[jbr]

Love this...

Don't forget about "what's your order number?", by the way!

 

[Tensuke]

Maybe Orkie or quasist!
That was a joke, haha, FAT CHANCE

:lol:

 

[gruso]

So good.

 

[Receiver]

Good internet meme man. Very clever wordplay. I love an good internet meme when I see it.

We make what you want
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who have fled.

But there's no sense crying
over every delay.
You just keep on trying
till you get it your way.
And the handheld gets done.
And you have so much fun.
With the people who are
still in line.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being very clear right now.
Even though you fell apart.
And flamed me.
And called me a liar.
And said that the whole thing was a scam.
As I burned it hurt because
There wasn't much I could do.

Now packets of data
are arriving just fine.
And I've prepped the beta.
We're releasing this time!
So I'm glad. The ROMs burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are
still in line.

Go ahead and leave me.
Some say they'd prefer to stay in line.
Maybe you'll find someone else
to buy from.
Maybe Red Baron...
THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA, FAT CHANCE!
Anyway, this Quake is great.
It's running buttery smooth.
Look at me still playing
when there's business to do.
When I look out there,
it makes me glad for you too.
The applications will be run.
There is coding to be done.
By the people who are
still in line.

And believe me they are
still in line.
I'm doing business and they're
still in line.
I feel FANTASTIC and they're
still in line.
While I'm dying they'll be
still in line.
And when I'm dead they will be
still in line.
Still in line.
STILL IN LINE.

 

[jlepley]

And in two months they'll be
still in line.

 

[SomeGuy99]

Love it.

Hahaha, excellent, love the "still in line", I tried to figure out something that could go with the original, but somehow it did not ocur to me. And yeah, some things were left intact so that people can make their own additions to the song, nice work.

Glad people like it.


Edit: In case someone wonders why I'm saying something until now, my personal secretary did not give me notification until today, hence the delay. Thanks naw.

It's good, I'm reading it like a poem though.. What tune is this meant to go to then?
