Fansong: "I hate Windows!"

[ISNorden]

You'll probably recognize the original song's tune and source; imagine a frustrated Oscar sitting in front of a PC.

I can't think of one OS that's dumber--
Full of bugs, Windows is a bummer!

Blue screens showing everywhere, virus threats that cause a scare,
I'm telling you, it isn't fair--
I hate Windows!

Yet another error box pops up, then the system locks.
I'd rather get the chicken pox--
I hate Windows!

I'd rather have an OS that runs halfway decently;
Those "XP" letters mean "Extremely Poor" if you ask me!
(Uh-oh...)

Checking e-mail: boy oh boy, thirty spams for "grown-up" toys--
I thought I'd filtered out that noise.
I hate Windows!

(And if you want the truth, I ain't too crazy about MS-DOS or OS/2 either!)

Memory runs low too quick, options I reset and click,
give the box a good swift kick--
I hate Windows!

Warning beep sounds shrill and strong: wonder what the heck is wrong?
Now I can't download that song--
I hate Windows!

I'd rather have an OS I can count on not to crash--
forget the bells and whistles, I'd leave XP in the trash!

Microsoft deserves a sneer; bugs turn up ten times a year:
when they're bankrupt, then I'll cheer.
I hate Windows!

HA HA HA I love it Ingeborg. Funny and clever

There's an traditional Irish tune called "Smash the Windows"...

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Don't I know it. On my computer, both Word and my net connection have been freezing up a lot lately. I've run a few full virus scans but I haven't turned up anything (softly mutters assorted unprintable curses aimed at Bill Gates).

To keep this sort of on topic, I do like the song, ISN. Forgive me, since I don't watch Sesame a lot, is that to the tune of "I Love Trash"?

I don't think so Timotheus. I think it looks rather like a remarkable parody of Oscar's song "I hate Christmas" from the made for television featurette "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street"

And didn't ISN do a good job of thinking it up?

Definitely Bill, it's very funny... except for the fact that I don't know the tune of "I Hate Christmas"

Thank you, Marty...*takes a virtual bow* My parody is indeed based on "I Hate Christmas"; you can read the original lyrics or download the original song at Tiny Dancer's archive site.

WINDOWS rocks! Macks are horrible! That are so complicated!

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Wow, that was hilarious, and a perfect perity it was to! Why even just a moment before I started writing, I got two eror messages. What a coincidence!
Seriously though, it was great. If I can be truly honest, I was just a little nerveous when I saw your name. Nothing personal; just that I don't recall seeing you around many times before, and in my mind a songfic is rather sophisticated, and I wasn't sure if you would be able to pull it off. You suprised me very pleasantly though!
