XKCD

[bnewman]

This combination of subject and source song seemed natural enough to me that I was quite surprised that, as far as I could tell, nobody else had written it first.

lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: "YMCA" by The Village People

Geek fan, is your workday too dull?

I said geek fan, bored right out of your skull?

Can you scare up a couple minutes to kill?

Just until your code compiles...

 

Geek fan, there's a way to stay sane

I said geek fan, put some fun on your brain

There's a website that has just what you need

Guaranteed to raise a smile

 

/ G - - - / Em - - - / Am - - - / D7 - - - /

 

Just point your browser at XKCD

Point your browser at XKCD

It's called XKCD, I don't know what that means

But it's on everybody's screens

 

Point your browser at XKCD

Point your browser at XKCD

It's a comic for geeks, posted three times a week

Head right over and take a peek

 

Stick figures, but they show such pizzazz

Puns and punch lines, like intellectual jazz

Lots of science, and computers and space

A velociraptor speed race

 

Humor, for when you need some laughs

And some flow charts and informative graphs

An apartment filled with colorful balls

Spiders crawling out of the walls

 

Just point your browser at XKCD...

 

What if we could blow up the moon?

You could blog it from your hot air balloon

Only watch out for that guy with the hat

You can never tell where he's at

 

And then, when the humor's enough

You can find some deeply meaningful stuff

Tales unfolding with the passage of time

All the best of reason and rhyme

 

So point your browser at XKCD...
