Hello.
This idea has bugged me last months: how about making a punch of
Linux songs? I already know R. Stallman has written a song about
free software; perhaps that could be worked out first.
This would be a good time to start because today I saw a BBC news
on how a song of a Japanese company turned out to be a hit.
The company placed video to their webpages and people kept downloading,
and now they have sold the song good. Other companies are now
making songs as well. If the boom spreads outside Japan, perhaps the
good old IBM songs are soon worked out as songs which appeal to our
generation.
When we make the songs, my wish is that the whole editing projects
are made available (not only the final mix). That way anyone could
make an another version using the same material. The songs would
then work as tutorials as well.
Regards,
Juhana

Umm, I could repost that if someone really wants it, but I took it down
cuz people were actually takinig it as a serious attempt at a song.
But since we're on topic, I'd love to know if there are any other
linux-related songs. I'd post a list on my site.

I wish I could say there was.
If anyone remembers I tried to start a contest just before christmas last year
to make the "official" 2.6 release song (inspired by Austins fine attempt),
but response wasn't very much. And to top it of I didn't even manage to put
together my own song :-/.
It's still there on my personal todo list though. I still like the contest
idea also, publicity generator, but we need contestants (is that a word?).

Hehe, I do remember - I actually wrote a song but never got it recorded.
Maybe when finals are over I'll get around to doing a demo - I'll drop a
note to LAU if it happens.

Does anything rhyme with Linux? (kidding, I think it
is a good idea)

He DID write the lyrics, but
the melody was borrowed from Sadi Moma, a
Bulgarian folk song in a 7/8 measure.
http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html
The site also has the score and 2 other versions of the song by other people,
including a heavy metal version with a grunted voice. :O)
Well, I think you have (and Robert had) a good idea. Actually I was planning
to make a new version of the free software song this summer (when I have more
time).
