Lately I've been really loving a song I heard on XYC and snarfed off
of
Napster: the Band is Barcelona and the song is Shell Account (or I Know
The Password To Your Shell Account). Its really perky and infectious.
And this band must have some true geeks in it. Some of the lyrics:

You won't guess what I just did,
Don't know who you're messing with.
Put my comp sci skills to work,
Engineered your logon word.

What's the point here anymore?
Here's a tip to be secure:
You should be less obvious.
I don't think you're smart enough.

I tried your birthday
(baaa baa ba-baaa)
I tried your mom's first name
(baaa baa ba-baaa)
I have the password to your ...
(baaa baa ba-baaa)

It's so much fun!

TaB
