SUSE Shares Linux-Themed Music Video Parodies (itwire.com)
Long-time Slashdot reader troublemaker_23 quotes ITWire:
German Linux company SUSE Linux is well-known for its Linux and other open source solutions. It is also known for producing videos for geeks and debuting them at its annual SUSECon conference. This year, in Prague, was no different. The company, which marked its 25th year on 2 September, came up with two videos, one to mark the occasion and the other all about Linux and open source. Both videos are parodies of well-known songs: the video Linus Said is based on "Momma Said", while 25 Years is a parody of "7 Years". Some of the lyrics in both SUSE videos would be meaningless to the average person -- but every word will ring a bell, sometimes a very poignant one, with geeks. And that's the primary audience it targets.
The article embeds both videos -- and also links to the music videos they're parodying. And it includes links to SUSE's two previous annual music video parodies -- Uptime Funk (based on Bruno Mars' blockbuster hit "Uptown Funk"), and Can't Stop the SUSE, a parody of Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling".

Your lyrics sucks. It was suppose to rap song, not a man page.
Keep coding...

My boss got a kick out of this one.What was more fun though was running this one in stand alone flash in full screen on Linux after my boss asked to borrow my laptop a few years ago. He actually thought that my copy of windows had been hacked. Funny as hell when I had to come over and get him out of it and explain that he was not in a windows environment. He has not borrowed my laptop since but always asks for me for all his personal IT setup.

Sounds like a SUSE Linux-Themed Music Video Paradise.

Escher was the first MC and Giger invented the HR department.
Simply switch the regional and language settings to German and everything works fine.
Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake? I always knew there was something wrong with SuSe, but I didn't know it was this bad. If SuSe is the distro for people who listen to that garbage, it must be inherently defective
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I got both videos but the songs parody was not Weird Al kind of good. Tried Suse a few years back, wasn't impressed with it either.
SuSE is an American company that comes with a copyright agreement which you have to accept if you wish to use it.
Wikipedia: On 27 April 2011, Novell (and SUSE) were acquired by The Attachmate Group,[4] which made SUSE an independent business unit. Later, in October 2014, the entire Attachmate Group, including SUSE, was acquired by the British firm Micro Focus International.[5] SUSE continues to operate as an independent business unit.[6]
As an American, I always viewed it as a German distro (since it used to be) and I never see it used here (yes, I'm sure a bunch or people will now contradict me, but that doesn't change me never seeing it).
The lyrics don't rhyme or even flow in "Linus Said." The videography and audio is good, though; but "meh". I bet a lot of people wouldn't finish it and then skip the second....
"25 Years" is much better! Like :) Just jump to/share that one:

Linus said: perkeleen vittupää.
And Twitler said: grab 'em by the pussy.
The only distraction for me is pronunciation of "Linus" it should be "Linus said" not "Linux said". just my 1/100 cent.
Wow. I've been running Linux for 20 years now, first as servers and number-crunchers, and in the past ten years or so as my desktop.
OpenSUSE is one of a few distros that has been with me a long time, and it's not virtualized, it's the foundation on my bare metal.
Thank you to everyone who brings it to me.
Fire and Meat. Yummy.

I'll give the edge to OpenBSD on the songs (OK, OpenBSD is killing it by far).
SLES has been a kick-ass EL distro for the past couple of years that I have used it, though. It's good to see them branching out musically, too.
...and both are way better than `The Free Software Song'.

On 15 September 2014, Micro Focus announced that it would acquire The Attachmate Group for US$1.2 billion in shares, which will give it ownership of the Attachmate, NetIQ, Novell, and SUSE product lines. Attachmate's parent company Wizard Parent LLC—consisting of the investment groups Elliott Management Corporation, Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital, and Thoma Bravo, will hold a 40% stake in Micro Focus post-acquisition.[13][14]

Clearly Linux has jumped the shark when this is something distro companies feel is worth their time and effort.
Between this, and the direction RedHat&Collabora is taking desktop Linux, it may well be high time to jump ship and go BSD...
