THE 1996 WELL-CONNECTED AWARDS


LET'S GET CONNECTED
(to the tune of "I'm So Excited")


Tonight's the night our link is gonna happen,
Tonight we'll put our terminals aside.
We're online now, making a SLIP connection.
We're surfing for those newsgroups in the night.

I want to Telnet, Gopher, FTP your files,
I want to Archie, Finger, browse the World Wide Web
And if it moves too slow, they'll let us know....
Let's get connected,
Password accepted.
I'm about to flow control and I think I like it.
I'm so connected,
Like I expected,
I know, I know, I know, I know I want it!

We shouldn't even think about upgrading,
These T3 lines will last a long, long time.
We'll have address, baby, don't you worry
And if we need to share, well, that's just fine.
Let's get connected,
Password accepted.
I'm about to flow control and I think I like it.
Now I'm connected,
Like I expected,
I know, I know, I know, I know I want it!

I want my Yahoo!, slipknot, I want my HTML,
I want my homepage, winsock, I just can't get enough.
Let's get connected,
Password accepted.
I'm about to flow control and I think I like it.
I'm so connected,
Like I expected,
I know, I know, I know, I know I want it!

How did you get to me?
Find my directory?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
