Starts at combo 1.

lyrics:

NES at the Shack is how I first got down,
Pops got a job, moved the fam to Sea-town,
checkin BBS's for my warez and porn,
around this time the mafia was born,
spendin mad hours getting buff in lord,
get with the tavern ho, show off my long sword,
couple years later, hit the Hotline scene,
waitin in queue is where I've never been seen,
got hooked up with fat accounts,
get my shit fast and in large amounts,
use my Cyrix chip to cook my meals,
laugh all you want, I'll own yo ass at Whacky Wheels,
got my emulators and a couple thousand ROMs
and all the F-Kiss from blah blah dot com,
now we got Torrents and bandwidth up to our necks,
looking back's crazy, but I wonder what's next

back in the day, Shufflepuck Cafe,
banner ads, gettin paid, ICQ, gettin laid,
back in the day, we knew Sulu was gay,
munchin numbers, runnin lodes, monochrome displays

back in the day, System 7.5,
had HyperCard stacks on my SyQuest drive,
once I got a modem I was never fuckin bored,
always dialin up a BBS to play me some LORD,
I stole my school's dial-up to get the internet,
had a copy of Ircle and no regrets,
chillin in #macfilez, leechin on bots,
it took nine years to get a download spot,
hours and hours, makin Marathon maps,
always on the run cause I set it to caps,
eventually I got a brand new Power Mac,
so fuckin fast, I almost had a heart attack,
ran a Hotline server on my school's T1,
"Win Ben Stein's Warez" was the name of that one,
Quake 3 Test in the computer lab,
never went to class cause that shit was a drag

back in the day, crusin through the DOS prompt
a litte modem action I got anything I want,
Blake Stone or some Duke 3D,
IPX Lan, dont fuck with me,
back in the day we had four buttons man,
Gravis GamePad til we lost our tan,
ZZT, where I made my first game,
shit was mad hot till Click n Play came,
up in the attic, it's Jumpin Flash,
all day long till a PlayStation crash,
pirated Thrill Kill, what a waste of time,
now I get why they trashed that crime,
we got nerd history, stories for days,
spit it how I lived it til this shit pays,
so back up off if you question the cred,
OG nerds, we'll cut off your head

back in the day, shit was the best,
I pirated Duke Nukem off a BBS,
a pimp with a 486 dx, deuce,
double piped to increase my juice,
Halloween Harry and Commander Keen,
nowadays, it seems like a wonderful dream
up in school, I'm on the LC 2s,
used the backdoor to drop right outta Foolproof
then one day, there was the internet,
and anything I wanted, I could easily get,
anytime I wanted A-double-P-Z,
just connect to H-O-T-L-I-N-E
click the banner, fourth word, seventh line,
log in and anything I wanted was mine,
I started up a server called "Industrial Strength,"
and got sued by the R-I-double-A,
but I was born into a new world of computers,
and we became the new generation of looters,
but I said it before, and I'll say it again,
it's like bein high just rememberin'

We should really have an entry cap because a certain someone is taking all the possible entries.

gold stinger, I am not convinced the lyrics of Back In The Day are educational or constitute social studies. It might help if you picked out one significant quote instead of pasting the entire lyrics.

[gold stinger]

Re: [SponCon #123ABC] Prescribed Learning Outcomes

Starts at combo 64.

lyrics, or at least the mentions for it...

Ryan Dahl: creating Node.js

Audrey Tang: Autodidacticism pusher, you spread this idea, it was you. Hug and embrace your internet trolls.

Ingy Dot Net: inspires creativity, amazing, Ingy once stepped out on stage completely naked at a tech conference. CPAN lord and master.

Jonathan Swartz: What did this guy do? Uh, don’t know. Why is Jonathan in this song?

Larry Wall: Making all the Perls. Larry is strapping in Hawaiian Shirts. Larry, why is Perl an Onion?

John Resig : John has the Secret techniques of top JavaScript programmers. John wrote books about his secrets for ninja programmer assassins.

Steve Souders: Making the web faster.

Jeremy Zawodny: Jeremy has a lot of cats. Jeremy likes Sphinx and MySQL, or maybe he hates Sphinx and MySQL because he merged them at Craig’s List.

James Gosling: YOU made the JAVA HELL.

Igor Sysoev: PubNub uses Nginx (pronouced “Engine X”). Igor helped those Ruby on Rails folks, creating the greatest free proxy software load balancer.

Rasmus Lerdorf: What took so long to add Closures to PHP? And why no lexical scoping in PHP? IT IS NOT SCOPE LEAKAGE.

Linus Torvalds: Builder of the right way! The force worthy of cosmic points for creating Linux.

Bjarne Stroustrup: C Plus Plus, Lame. You created this high level compiler out of BS.

Guido van Rossum: Thanks for the Python!

David Heinemeier Hansson: Made Ruby Sexy with Rails.

Yukihiro Matsumoto: Ruby is Awesome. Ruby is Sexy.

Brendan Eich: JavaScript Origin Master. First it was called Mocha, then LiveScript.

Eight core contributors formed the foundation of the original Apache Group: Brian Behlendorf, Roy T. Fielding, Rob Hartill, David Robinson, Cliff Skolnick, Randy Terbush, Robert S. Thau, Andrew Wilson

Jarkko Hietaniemi: Master Librarian, Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. The CPAN Disclaimer is REALLY OUTDATED. Ruby Gems outshining CPAN, end of an era?

edit:woah the replay didn't get acknowledged. fixed.

edit2: wow thanks riot for ninjaing me calling bs on that post time.

We should really have an entry cap because a certain someone is taking all the possible entries.

This is everyone's final opportunity to win a physical token, so I am giving those who want to compete for a token the freedom to submit as many songs as they want. If things get out of control, I may impose a high entry cap.

Re: [SponCon #123ABC] Prescribed Learning Outcomes

@633: "James Gosling...you made Java- hell..."


@Phantom you didn't quote ""

harsh. wasnt really sure what to quote since a majority of the song covers it.

mentions tons about what and how people did stuff back in the day. Social studies.
Better than the people posting number sequences in here...

Re: [SponCon #123ABC] Prescribed Learning Outcomes

Everything went numb for the money and the guns,
and everytime he'd think it out: "there's nothing to worry about
get in the van, don't deviate from the plan
if everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"
so it begins, everybody walks in
could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins?
i think not, so i bet on the feds because the black hat men never win in the end, so...
