lyrics

© 1995 Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff

We’ll be fighting in the aisles
For the format of our files.
And the OS we were using will be gone.
While the man who spurred us on
Delays our upgrades for so long.
He decides and our systems sing the song.

Press any key for the MS solution.
Click my mouse for the new revolution.
Smile and grin at the changes all around.
Will I have enough RAM today,
To boot up Plug & Play?
Better get on my knees and pray -
We don’t get fooled again.

The new OS came today -
It promised us a better way.
We were liberated from 640k.
But my resources are drained.
And my disk access is lame.
They used the banners from the last market campaign.

Press any key for the MS solution.
Click my mouse for the new revolution.
Smile and grin at the changes all around.
Will I have enough RAM today,
To boot up Plug & Play?
Better get on my knees and pray -
We don’t get fooled again.

I move my cards and my data aside
If they happen to be left half alive.
I load all my drivers and I pray to the sky,
Because I know the monopolized never die.

There’s nothing on the screen
Looks any different to me.
All the icons are erased by and by.
And the close box on the left,
Is now the close box on the right.
And the page fault errors still rule the night.

Press any key for the MS solution.
Click my mouse for the new revolution.
Smile and grin at the changes all around.
Will I have enough RAM today,
To boot up Plug & Play?
Better get on my knees and pray -
We don’t get fooled again.

Meet the new DOS.
Same as the old DOS....

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff San Jose, California

Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come. ... more
