I swear my computer can read my mind

[Syrinx]

I was sitting here a few minutes ago reading some blogs and listening to mp3's. Something reminded me of the Chumbawamba remix "Jacob's Ladder 'Not In My Name.'" But I couldn't remember the name of the band. I knew I had the file, but I just couldn't remember the name of the band. I was about to grep my files to find it, when the song came on. (And I have nearly 10,000 mp3 files on my computer.)

Anyway, it's a great anti-Bush, anti-neocon song.

Here's a link that purports to be to the song. I haven't tried it since I already have the file.

And here are the lyrics.

like a sermon on the mountain
says the dumber got dumb
hellfire and brimstone
swapped for oil and guns
when we're pushing up daisies
we all look the same
in the name of the father maybe
but not in my name

on this Jacob's ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
Jacob's ladder

and they sent him to the wars
to be slain to be slain
and they sent him to the wars
to be slain

a million lifetimes
left dying in the sun
in the streets down in Whitehall
dogs picking at the bones
nine eleven got branded
nine eleven got sold
there will be no one left to water
all the seeds you've sown

on this Jacob's ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
Jacob's ladder

and they sent him to the wars
to be slain to be slain
and they sent him to the wars
to be slain

and they sent him to the wars
to be slain to be slain
and they sent him to the wars
to be slain

on this Jacob's ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
on this Jacob's ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
Jacob's ladder

Puppy dog leader sooner or later
We'll dig up your cellar and try you for murder

Puppy dog leader sooner or later
We'll dig up your cellar and try you for murder

Puppy dog leader sooner or later
We'll dig up your cellar and try you for murder

Puppy dog leader sooner or later
We'll dig up your cellar and try you for murder

1. The link works, but only if I Right-Click it and then click Save Target As

That was an interesting song - pretty cool! Thanks for sharing - and yes, your computer can read your mind, but only when it wants to.

3. I like the fact that ...

you used the term grep for searching files.
