The Lyrics
Zip up my data, store that array,
Why oh why can't I save this display?
Errors on runtime causing delay,
Zip up my data, store that array.
Mister geek-nerd fix my folder,
Try reboot,
Says manual,
But my hard drive's super-fractual.
Zip up my data, compress it away,
Disk full and reeling,
Says my display.
Zipped up my data, stored that array,
My oh my now there's more room to play.
So, now I'm back online, surfin' away,
Zipped up my data, got room for days.
Zipped up my data, got room for days.
Why oh why can't I save this display?
Errors on runtime causing delay,
Zip up my data, store that array.
Mister geek-nerd fix my folder,
Try reboot,
Says manual,
But my hard drive's super-fractual.
Zip up my data, compress it away,
Disk full and reeling,
Says my display.
Zipped up my data, stored that array,
My oh my now there's more room to play.
So, now I'm back online, surfin' away,
Zipped up my data, got room for days.
Zipped up my data, got room for days.

Really good one, Guy! I must be getting better at understanding these things - there's only one paragraph that I really didn't understand, and that's not you...it's me. :D 5's
Zip! Zip! Hooray!..fiveo's
A zippy little tune/
Good job, I got a kick out of this one (being central to my profession and all!)
wonderful wordplay....5s
A nice short parody. Well compressed.
I zipped through this and enjoyed it lots, Guy
5's, I'm such a sucker for geek parodies!
What everybody else said - this is a very good title and parody.
5-5-5...Error Not found! Keep the geek spoofs coming!
There's better ways to work with overloaded hard drives. Crashing isn't one of them though. 5's!
I know the feeling! Hey, here's some 5's compressed into a folder for you to look at! :)
I usually don't like Techie parodies, but this one tickled my hard drive quite well. (whoa...did I mype that?):) 555
Go ahead and zip up Data. Because if you tried that with the preceding Science Officer, he would find that highly illogical... and yet, strangely "fascinating."
(ABC) See above.
I must confess I love tecchie parodies too....loved this one!!!
Loved "super-fractual"... have to de-frac it, then I guess :-) I keep wanting to sing "Zip up my data" to "Brush up your Shakespeare"... maybe there's something there?
