The Lyrics

I matched the pacing on this parody to the live performance at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPckAP0VvfI. In this performance, the third verse is repeated as the fourth verse. In the studio version, the first verse is repeated as the fourth verse.

Turned on my PC again this morning
I hope today I won’t have spam
Then on the screen I see a warning
“You need to upgrade while you can”

The message caused me some confusion
‘Cause XP’s running right as rain
But I guess that was just an illusion
“Buy Vista” it explains
(Windows is a pain)
(Windows is a pain)

“You’ll find XP is obsolete now
We won’t support that OS
So join the crowd and purchase Vista
We’re sure you’ll be impressed”
(Windows is a pain)
(Windows is a pain)

(I have ascertained)
(Windows is a pain)

And so I emptied out my wallet
Bought the upgrade version 2
And then find out when I install it
I need new hardware too
(Windows is a pain)
(Windows is a pain)
(Driving me insane)
(Windows is a pain)

(It’s a ball and chain)
(Need to be retrained)
(Sing a Mac refrain)
(Now I can explain)
(Windows is a pain)

Resubmitted due to the infamous AmIRight hacker incident of June 2007.

Linux girls, they seem to find out easily how to open files with just a smile...

I was going to write a song about Vista back in the Technology Ages round called, "Vista Las Virus", this reminded me of that and how hard it was to write about Vista. So good job.

(Artistry) Am I the only one here who LIKES Windows? Guess I am. I used a Mac once...confusing as hell. Great job anyways!

(Aritstry), while I have my problems with windows, bobpie (Conq) you are not alone in that opinion, although I DO prefer Firefox to IE. . .I like my windows . . .that said, good idea, but I won't say it's to the same quality as your first three rounds, still loving your style though

Ditto,Dave, and Firefox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IE. Awesome job, Rex ( The code was 9D3, 9D5 woulda been funnier cause its like Windows 95)

(Artistry) Having never used a Mac, I'm not in a position to pass judgement one way or t'other. Flawed as it is, Windows is mah byatch. 555

(Artistry) I hate, hate, HATE Windows with an undying passion. I'm with you on the Mac camp! And I think it says something about XP by the fact that XP's also a squint-eyed, tongue-sticking-out emoticon. Microsoft is mocking you.
