Pond-erosa Puff (OpenBSD)

I recently found the OpenBSD songs, and the artists say that they are part of OpenBSD, logically as well as license-wise. And OpenBSD is licensed under a three-clause BSD license which is GPL compatible - that means I can record and publish it here! This is the OpenBSD 3.6 release song: Pond-erosa Puff, written about people who make something free and suddenly decide to go the unfree path. Many thanks to all you OpenBSD guys! Your license is a bit too weak for my taste, but damn, it's free - and your code is as good as your songs! Audio-files: ogg | mp3 This recording is part of the music podcast singing in the winds of time. My recording is far from perfect, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! Also it should give everyone a good headstart who always wanted to play the song on the guitar. Oh, and please do listen to the ogg vorbis file. It sounds far better! - Draketo Pond-erosa Puff (from Ty Semaka) Well he rode from the ocean far upstream Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream Lookin' for the legendary inland sea Where the water was deep n' clean n' free But the town he found had suffered a blow Fish were dying, cause the water was low Fat cat fish name o' Diamond Dawes Plugged the stream with copyright laws He said my water's good n' my water's free So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me! Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine" They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time! So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide Said. "this is the mark of too much pride" Tied him to a horse, set the tail on fire Slapped er on the ass and the water went higher! Pond-erosa Puff wouldn't take no guff Water oughta be clean and free So he fought the fight and he set things right With his OpenBSD Well things were good fer a spell in town But then one day, dang water turned brown Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need" But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs Folks said "gotta be a gooder way" Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K." "The water's fine on the Open range" And he passed a law that it couldn't change. "No freeze, no boil, no frolicking young" Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong" Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud! So he took him down in a cloud of blood Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean" So they did it right and the water went clean! CHORUS So once agin' it was right, but then The lake went dry, she was gone again! Fish started flippin' and floppin' about Yellin' "Mercy Puff! It's a doggone drought!" So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake Of Apache fish, they was on the take They'd built a dam that was made of rules Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool! I'm sick and tired of these goldarn words! n' laws n' bureaucratic nerds! You're full o' beans n' killin' my town and if you's all don't shut er down I'll hang a lickin' on every one of you sons o' bitchin' greedy scum! So he blew the dam, an' he let 'er haul Cause water oughta be free for all! CHORUS License: The text is licensed under a 3 clause BSD license, the recording can be used under the usual free licenses and additionally under the 3 clause BSD license (the license doesn't enforce that, but I feel that it's just the right thing to do).
