Song: Mailing List of Fire

With apologies to Johnny Cash, the sorry tale of a mailing list that takes no prisoners. On a totally unrelated note, how’s HTML5 coming on?

Lyrics

The web is a wondrous thing.
Flickr, Facebook and Bing.
One thing you must resist.
The pull of the mailing list.

I fell in to a mailing list of fire.
I scrolled down, down, down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
this list of fire,
mailing list of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns
this list of fire,
mailing list of fire.

A geek, he never forgets.
When someone’s wrong on the internetz.
I tried not to act like a child.
Oh… but the trolls went wild.

I fell in to a mailing list of fire.
I scrolled down, down, down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns
this list of fire,
mailing list of fire.

And it burns, burns, burns
this list of fire,
mailing list of fire.
