The system crash song

SYSTEM CRASH (to the tune of "The Monster Mash")



 



I was working in the lab, late one night



When my eyes beheld an eerie sight,



Some smoke from our VAX began to rise



And suddenly, to my surprise...



 



[chorus]



(There was a crash)   There was a system crash



(A mighty crash)      I heard the disk heads smash



(A system crash)      It came down in a flash



(There was a crash)   A fatal system crash



 



The lab manager then appeared from his room,



Said: "I don't want to be a prophet of doom,



But we had one like this just the other day



Which blew up 4 megs and the SBA"







[chorus]



 



The system had just been booted, diagnostics



had all run through, When a power fluck made it



all run amuck, then SCOTTY and IRVING blew too







So we'd lost all our VAXes in less than one night



When a VP came in and said: "hey, that's all right,



I'll loan you a Venus - here's what to do



When you call up Support, tell them Gordon sent you...







[chorus]
