Corporate Anthems Go Corporate
Peter Judge writes: "Corporate Anthems are once again online at ZDNet UK.
Last year, the Corporate Anthems page exposed a big bunch of amusing songs composed for corporate promotion. However, the music files had to go offline due to bandwidth limits.
Now, ZDnet UK has stepped in, to host the anthems in all their glory. We hope to flush out and publicise new ones, and will be updating the chart in the coming weeks, according to the 'popularity' of different tracks. We have included more lyrics -- transcribed with some effort (and several lines which surely can't be for real)."
Knife goes in! Guts come out! That's what Osaka Seafood Concern is all about!

...is apparently an imperfect science. Unless the PriceWaterhouseCoopers anthem really does go "...How high can you retch?..." ;-)

Of course, the *real* stuff some of these songs contain is far scarier...

MS Theme song (learn it, love it, live it)
1
We build the future piece by piece
The world depends on us
Never can our endurance cease
In our products they must trust
Refrain:
We dream our dream of dominance
Microsoft, we lead and the world follows
We put the computer on every desktop
And each one runs Windows
2
Our battle is arduous
And our enemies are fierce
But the battle belongs to us
Only we can persevere
Refrain
3
With eagle eyes we see for years
With cheetah speed we race
Our code is Business' gears
And Windows is its face
Refrain
From BASIC to DOS to Windows
Our empire grows ever strong
Microsoft will take the blows
And return them right along
Refrain 2x
Was there ever an Enron song? I know of some punk bands that would love to do a cover.

Oh dear, I sense one of those "I am company president, but I am really one of you because I play guitar" people
This is like when Tony Blair got into power and the photo-opportunity was him moving in to Number 10 carrying his Fender.
Ian Hislop summed it up perfectly : "Oh god, he looks like a trendy vicar"
Share and enjoy, Share and enjoy
Journey through life with a plastic boy
Or girl by your side, let your pal be your guide
And when it breaks down or starts to annoy
Or grinds when it moves and it gives you no joy
Because it's eaten your hat or had sex with your cat
Poured oil on your lawn or ripped up your door
And you get to the point you can't stand anymore
Bring it to us, we won't give a fig
We'll tell you... Go stick your head in a pig!
The RIAA has a really good corporate anthem!
You can download it from Kazaa, Morpheus or GNUTella.
It is all about piracy or something...
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah I'm the taxman
