On the Cover of Win IT Pro

(to the tune of On the Cover of Rolling Stone)

Well, we're IT heroes; call when your PC's froze

Yes, we're paged everywhere we go

We roll out Vista and we set up servers---

only 10,000 patches to go!

We get a blue screen thrill in the server room chill

But the thrill we want to know

Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture

On the cover of Win IT Pro

 

 

IT Pro

Wanna see my picture on the cover

IT Pro

Wanna buy 5 copies for my mother

IT Pro

Wanna see my smilin' face

On the cover of Win IT Pro

 

I've got a freaky old server runnin' NT 4-0

That's supporting finance apps

I've got a poor old gray-haired admin

Virtualizing in our labs

Our network's design will blow your mind

And our routers are about to blow

Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture

On the cover of Win IT Pro

 

We got a lot of livid blue-screened laptop users

Can't do any work today

We got a genuine Indian Help desk

In a time zone far away

We've got all the CALs that money can buy

Our agreement cost a lot of dough

Bill Gates keeps getting' richer but we can't get our picture

On the cover of Win IT Pro

Thanks to Karen Forster and Alex Angelopoulos!

Man we could have alot of fun with this format.
Gave me a good laugh. And maybe we can pull another one of Bobby Zimmerman's lines and say to some of the third party software Vendors "You've gotta lota nerve, to say your are my friend", When I was down (Server crashed) and you just stood there grinnen".
