Theme song for Seti - Meant in Humour

[i]The Sound Of Silence
-------
by Paul Simon


Hello Darkness my old
friend, I've come to talk with you a-
gain, Because a vision soft-
ly creeping left its seeds while I
was sleeping and the vision
that was planted in my brain,
Sounds of Silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I,"You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.[i]

Another possible theme song:

Another One Bites The Dust - Queen


Steve walks warily down the street,
with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
machine guns ready to go

Are you ready,
Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along,
without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
you can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down

But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
repeating the sound of the beat

We're not gonna take it - Twisted Sister


Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose it
There ain't no way we'll lost it
This is our life, this is our song

We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is neverending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you

Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do

Oh Oh

We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

No way

Oh Oh

We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Just you try and make us
We're not gonna take it
Come on!

No, we ain't gonna take it
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore

Now drop and give me twenty
We're not gonna take it
Oh crinch pin

No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore

Great Choice! After 'obtaining' an mp3 copy I've put them all in a Seti playlist. So when Boinc acts up I can kick back, listen to the music and have a cold one. Ahhhh...

Look forward to more additions from Seti's users...

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
now it looks as if they are here to stay
Oh how i long for yesterday.

The reason being

Who Made Who? - AC/DC

The video game says "play me"
Face it on a level but it takes you every time on a one on one
Feeling running down your spine
Nothing gonna save your one last dime cause it owns you
Through and through

The databank knows my number
Says I gotta pay cause I made the grade last year
Feel it when I turn the screw
Kicks you round the world, there ain't a thing that it can't do
Do to you

Chorus:
Who made who, who made you?
Who made who, ain't nobody told you?

Who made who, who made you?
If you made them and they made you
Who picked up the bill, and who made who? (or who picked up the glue,...)(?)

Who made who, who turned the screw?

Satellites send me pictures
Get it in the eye,
Take it to the world (take it to the wire)
Spinning like a dynamo
Feel it going round and round
Running out of chips, you got no line in an 8-bit town
So don't look down, no

Chorus:
Who made who, who made you?
Ain't nobody told you, who made who?

Hey you there in outer space
Your looking at some style and grace
The blood and gutty human race
Come on down to meet us

All you sightings in the sky
Feel free to drop in any time
Your just kinda passing by
And feel you want to meet us

We're fun and games
Just guy and just dames
But don't call us names
And most of all...PLEASE..don't eat us.

Cause We're!... NO BALONEY,HOMOSAPIENS!
We ain't phoney
We're homosapiens

Just cause you got more ears and eyes
That just gives you more places to cry
And acutely hear the moans and sighs
Of the relatives of the people you disintegrated

But don't you say we're easy prey
cause buddy that's the day
Your underestimation will defeat you
But don't worry, we're civilized
And we won't eat you

Cause We're... NO BALONEY,HOMOSAPIENS
We ain't phoney
We're homosapiens

We're black and white you're green and blue
We're all right and so are you
My bloods thick red you bleed black glue
So let's not bleed at all
Is that all right with you

Cause We're ...NO BALONEY,HOMOSAPIENS
We ain't phoney
yes we're no baloney
Homosapiens

Alice Cooper

I Refuse to hold myself responsible for any of my actions.

I'd like to add "I'm Free" by the Who!

"I'm free, and freedom tastes of reality"

For the first time since 6/22, I have no systems attached to seti/boinc.

The increased crunching times, and the deletion of WU's during upload, with no word from the devs finally did it..

Then I found that the other projects I was attached to had gained more credits than seti/boinc, even though they were given far less a share of the CPU.. (no, I'm not a credit counter, but do view this as a gauge of what work was recieved and used, and not lost...)

I've only been with the others for a bit over a month, but there seems to be using the results!

I'll keep watching and might be back.....

Mike & the Mechanics

Silent Running

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I'm with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you
