A Filk inspired by that *lovely* #afp'er George... 		

Sung to the tune (sic) of Wannabe, by the Spice Girls 		

I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), 			
I wanna really really really wanna be a true geek. 			

Oh I want a Psion, I wanna Psion 5 			
I been waiting so long now, when will it arrive? 			
I went and wasted, my precious dosh.. 			
but at least when I get it I will look real posh... 			

I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), 			
I wanna really really really wanna be a true geek. 			

If you wanna be a geekling, 			
you gotta get with some clue, 			
George has nearly made it 			
She's more geek than you 			
If you wanna be a geekling 			
you have got to be 			
just a little wierd 			
as you'll end up like me. 			

So here's the story from a to z 			
about some of the geeky stuff you'll see 			
You got linux on the disk, there's nothing like a risk 			
You got java and script who likes it? *ick* and 			
Billy G who doesn't come for free 			
and is real flaky 			
as as for C, hah you'll see 			

knock your luser down and kick it all around. 			
knock your luser down and kick it all around. 			

If you wanna be a geekling 			
You gotta be really tough 			
And *lart* those stupid Lusers 			
who spam or troll or stuff 			
If you wanna be a geekling, 			
you tend to find that it 			
tends to lead to BOFHdom 			
and then you're in the... 			

(Come to think about that) 			
You should know how to code 			
so you can handle your job 			
In any Mode 			
no don't be hasty 			
give it a try 			
If it's really buggy then you say bye bye 			

I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I'll tell to what I want, what I really really want 			
So tell me what you want, what you really really want 			
I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), I wanna (huh),I wanna (huh), 			
I wanna really really really wanna be a true geek. 			

If you wanna be a geekling, 			
you really need a head check 			
It's a evil lifestyle 			
When you are a tech 			
And when you've finally made a geekling 			
you will end up mad 			
driven up the wall by 			
lusers that you've had... 			

that's all
