Me too. As an OpenBSD I've been hanging my head in shame at the shear geekiness/hokeyness of a theme song, but this is a pretty impressive. The vocalist is very, very good. Don't get me wrong, I still think the whole idea is silly, but the OpenBSD developers seem to have taken the production quality of their song as seriously as they take the production of their code...
No, to open source the songs, they should release the sheet music, and preferably the project file from whatever recording program they used (Cubase, etc). Also they forgot to include the COPYING and README files with the license!;-)

Her name was Lola, she was a blowfish. With the armor she would wear, and the spikes way out to there She would firewall, and diff any patch at all And while she tried to s-s-h, users always typed in 'make' Across a crowded server room, they built from 10 til noon The code was tight and all secure Who could ask for more?

The current OpenBSD mascot is a blowfish, so there are a lot of fish references.
The (wicked cool) art for OpenBSD 3.2 has a James Bond theme.
OpenBSD art has a recurring theme of foiling "script kitties", so that explains all the cat references.

How very appropriate to release the lyrics alongside the song.
