Carly went down to Compaq, a song using the tune from The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band

Carly went down to Compaq
She was looking for an OS to steal
She was in a behind because she was behind
And she was willing to make a deal

She came up on this guy Curly
Writing some memos to the employees
"Price, performance, quality:
How can I get rid of these?"

"I bet you didn't know it
But I'm a CEO too
I'll bet my profits from Linux
That I'm better at business than you"

Mike said "My name's Curly
And it might be a sin
But why should you be my enemy
When you can be my friend?"

Middle eight:

Curly boot up your PC
And write those memos fine
180 days of bullshit
Lay it all on the line

If you win you get zero
To the power of ten
But if you lose
Then Carly takes you in

Chorus:

First we sold off what we could
No matter if it was good
Then we killed off what was left
Who gives a damn if customers wept
