EFF Releases "The Tinseltown Club"

Seth Schoen writes: "Sing along, kids! EFF is debuting the EFF Action Center with a song produced by EFF and friends -- the Tinsel Town Club Song (a parody of the "Mickey Mouse Club Song"). "Tinseltown Club" makes fun of Disney for its support of legislation which takes away your rights. There's also an MP3 version (with better sound quality) for those who can't see the Flash animation, and we expect to make several other formats available soon. To help save bandwidth, we are encouraging listeners to share the song on peer-to-peer networks." Update: Seth has written in with some mirrors you can try, I've posted his note in the story.. Seth says:

"Please try P2P networks first, before going to an HTTP site! The song and animation are definitely out there on the P2P networks by now.

For those who have BitTorrent, use http://bittorrent.theory.org:8080/20020528_eff_tinseltown_club.mp3

For those who use http, get The MP3 from here.

Please go easy on action.eff.org (where the Flash animation is posted) and please do set up and publicize your own mirrors.

Early Post!

This early post for Aura Lee!

When the blackbird in the spring,
On the willow tree,
Sat and rocked, I heard him sing,
Singing Aura Lee
Aura Lee, Aura Lee,
Maid of golden hair;
Sunshine came along with thee,
And swallows in the air.
Chorus

In thy blush the rose was born,
Music when you spake,
Through thine azure eye the morn,
Sparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee,
Bird of crimson wing,
Never song have sung to me,
In that sweet spring.
Chorus

Aura Lee! The bird may flee,
The willows golden hair
Swing through winter fitfully,
On the stormy air.
Yet if thy blue eyes I see,
Gloom will soon depart;
For to me, sweet Aura Lee
Is sunshine through the heart.
Chorus

When the mistletoe was green,
Midst the winter's snows,
Sunshine in thy face was seen,
Kissing lips of rose.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee,
Take my golden ring;
Love and light return with thee,
And swallows with the spring.
Chorus

Chorus: Aura Lee, Aura Lee,
Maid of golden hair;
Sunshine came along with three,
And swallows in the air.

I hate to be picky and point out spelling errors (ok, no I don't), but shouldn't it be fairly easy to cut and paste the contributor's name into the "dept." text area? Especially if there's any chance you might mispell it?

I realize the dept. area is just a throw-away gag, but it still affects the quality of the site when such a simple mistake is made.

Ezekiel 43:2.6:

"and the Lord did see that AC fuckwads were miserable bags of shite, and the Lord did lay foul turd upon the sammiches of all the AC scum in all the continents, and also those who were out to sea, and the Lord did smile merrily, as Lords are often wont to do."
