"G-ing T K Y"
Sung to the tune of "Getting to Know You" from The King and I, original lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, music by Richard Rogers.
It's a not-too-ancient meme,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a noder
By other noders, you'll be taught.
GTKYs I've been reading
(You'll forgive me if I faint)
And I've now become an expert,
On the nodes I love to hate...
GTKYs! (aahh!)
Gee Tee Kaaaaaaaay Whys,
Getting to read all about you.
Getting to hate you,
Wishing that I never cared.
Gee Tee Kaaaaaaaay Whys,
Voting it all down, and quickly.
You are precisely,
My downvotee.
Gee Tee Kaaaaaaaay Whys,
Growing annoyed and angry.
When I /msg you,
Getting to know what to say.
Haven't you noticed,
Suddenly XP is dropping,
Because of all the pointless and jejune
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
I don't actually hate GTKY nodes that much, but every time I saw the letters "GTKY" the song would immediately pop into my head — I had to satisfy my subconscious by writing this. This is especially amusing to me because I don't like Julie Andrews at all, but I think I would like her as a noder, singing this to a group of newbies.
Yes, to those who would say otherwise, Julie Andrews did sing this song, in the 1992 Hollywood studio cast recording; more information is here from amazon.com.
