Just be glad I didn’t post “Like a Rhinestone Euty.” It was ugly. Very ugly.
Well, thank the gods for small blessings 
Likewise, I tried to do something with Karn Evil #55. The only good line was : “Welcome back my friends, to the thread that never ends…”
And welby1, my personal policy regarding copyrights for any of my lyrics in this thread is based on Woody Guthrie’s (paraphrasing) : "Whoever uses part or whole of this song without my permission or knowledge will surely become one of my best friend.
Well thanks, detop. I’m thinking it might be time for a little Sixties Rock and Roll, though Motown calls . . . . maybe a little Jackson Five? “Oh Euty give me one more post. . .”
GOD BLESS THE EUTY-MOD
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my keyboard and my modem,
I’d thank my lucky stars
to be posting here today,
'Cause the board still stands for freedom
and they can’t take that away.
I’m proud to be a Doper
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the mods who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this board,
God Bless the Euty-Mod!
From the threads of Cafe Society
to the hills of Great Debates,
Across the plains of IMHO, from sea to shining sea.
From The Pit on down to MPSIMS
and GQ to ATMB,
There’s pride in every Doper heart
and it’s time we stand and say:
I’m proud to be an Doper
where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the mods who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this board,
God Bless the Euty-Mod!
Sometimes I’m starting to doubt the sanity of you guys.
What is that “sanity” thing you’re talking about ?
I’m sorry, I’m not very familiar with the Motown catalog. Will the following do ?
Euty Love
Ooh Euty love, my Euty love
I heed you, oh how I heed you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my post and leave me mad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you post away so strong
'Cause Euty love, my Euty love
Been missin’ ya, miss readin’ ya
Instead of breakin’ it up
Let’s do some editin’ and makin’it up
Don’t throw our thread away
In this forum why don’t you stay
Need ya, need ya
Euty love, ooh, Euty love
Euty love, my Euty love
Why must we eliminate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never posted to no one but you
Why you cut me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to read you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm presence, my love
Don’t throw our thread away
Please don’t edit me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Silliness has got the best of me
My love, my Euty love
I heed you, oh how I heed you
Why you edit me like you do
After I’ve been true to you
So deep in love with you
Euty, Euty, ooh ‘til it’s hurtin’ me
‘Til it’s hurtin’ me
Ooh, Euty love
Don’t throw our thread away
Don’t throw our thread away
You got the sanity thing, detop.
I’ll never be able to listen to these songs the same way ever again.
Thanks. 
All of the above is why I love the SDMB so much…and welby1 is my new god.
::kittenblue goes back to working on her own parody, which will be released sometime in 2004::
I just realized I never gave props to Welby1 for immortalizing yours truly in what will certainly become an SDMB classic. Yup, I’m honored.
And kittenblue, I’m working on a little ditty myself! 2004, huh? I can beat that…
::starts composing::
Ahem. I thank you for the props, and promise more in the near future.
I tend to get the idea when I’m driving, and since I’m driving 800 miles next Thursday, I see a lotta material headed this way.
Congratulation on making the pantheon welby1. Can’t wait to see your next batch. Have a safe drive. Here’s a little something to help along…
Don’t bogart that thread, Euty

So is it even safe to mention John Cage’s 4’33" anymore? Assuming the reader is in a relatively quite place, or not even, mentioning it means it is played, whether you acknowledge it or not.
In any case, and in an effort to outlame all concerned:
Copyright a-stealin’
Eutychus’s brow, has gotten lined today
I’ve been posting songs, just to join the fray.
They’d be safe and sound, if Euty’d just go away
I’m copyright-a stealin’, on such a summer’s day
Stopped into a board, I passed along the way
Pounded on the keys, and I began to say
You know that Euty’s gettin old,
when he won’t even let us play,
we’re copyright-a stealin’
we do it anyway 
Eutychus’ brow, has gotten lined today
I’ve been posting songs, just to join the fray
If he wouldn’t notice, I’d do another one today
I’m copyright-a stealin’, on such a summer’s day
We want the funk,
Euty’s got the funk
I don’t know if there’s any Weezer fans in the house…
Godd*mn you crazy SD mods
do it to me every time
oh, when you shred my posts I feel so mellow
And I’m jello, baby
But you won’t talk, won’t look, won’t think of me
I’m the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Postin lyrics ain’t that bad, you see?
I’m a lot like you so please
Hello, I’m here, I’m waiting
I think songs should be posted by Eut
and Eut can post songs for me
I asked you to quote some Green Day lyrics
You said you never heard of them
-How cool is that?-
So I went to your thread, and posted with welby:
“Lyric posting is real illegal” and then my heart stopped
“Listen up to Uncle Cec, he’ll delete you posts and give you the grease”
I’m a lot like you so please
Hello, I’m here, I’m waiting
I think songs should be posted by Eut
and Eut can post songs for me
How stupid is it? I can’t post about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won’t you give me a minute
Just let my post, and say “lyrics are okay”
How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me to
and maybe you just don’t know what to do
or maybe you’re scared to say: “I’m posting lyrics for you”
I wish I could get my head out of the sand ‘cuz I think I’d make some good posts
and Eut would keep them on topic, most
But that’s just a stupid dream that I won’t realize
‘cuz I can’t even look in your eyes
without shakin’, and I ain’t fakin’
I’ll post some lyrics if you rules are makin’
I’m a lot like you so please
Hello, I’m here, I’m waiting
I think songs should be posted by Eut
and Eut can post songs for me
Gimme a break, it’s my first time.
If I only post the first verse of Shari Lewis’s The Song That Doesn’t End is that a copyright violation?
DON’T EDIT THIS POST, MOD EUTYCHUS
It won’t be easy
To write this post.
With Mod Euty waiting all the time
To edit lyrics.
The work the he does is just oppressive.
He doesn’t like it when the lyrics remain
The same as they are.
He things they should be changed.
Don’t edit this post Mod Eutychus
The truth is we need the lyrics.
For all our Dopers
Cafe Society.
We need the lyrics.
Don’t edit the lyrics.
And as for Tuba
And as for Lynn
All all of the other Mods
I never had a complaint.
They are nice people.
Simply doing their jobs.
Although other Dopers complain
They think they really are gods.
Don’t edit this post Mod Eutychus
They truth is we need the lyrics.
For all our Dope posts.
Cafe Society.
We need the lyrics.
Don’t edit lyrics.
Have I posted too much.
And you think Tim Rice will sue?
I changed most of his lyrics.
So I doubt that thought is true.
Four Eutys in one day
Living in the depths of our imagination
Picture pages above and livejournals below
His sun will shine on the silver clouds
Hanging over the pixels
Even when we are in the forums
Like four Eutys in one day
Smiling as the thread is closed down
we can tell a troll from what he has to say
I get turned around
And we will risk our connections’s again
he can take me where we will
up a search engine and through my snapshots
Like all the things we post about
Four Eutys in one day
Doesn’t pay to post new threads, resting on an unmade bed finding them moved to the pit straightaway
Four Eutys in one day
Threads drop down like rain, like rain
on my drive, on my drive
Like four Eutys in one day
You sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? THere’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
DO we get busted for quoting books too?
It’s nine o’clock at the internet cafe
When Euty shuffles in.
There’s a freak sitting next to me
playing Diablo 2 again.
Euty says “Son, can you hack this fire wall?”
I used to be a computer God
I was king of boards, and loved by hoards
When I was a straight dope mod!
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
Edit my posts, Eutychus!
Make rights from my wrongs!
ban the trolls for bothering us!
while protecting our songs!
Now Euty is a virtual friend of mine
as long as I post his way.
he’s quick with a ban, so don’t post spam,
and always quote what you say
He says, "enright3, I’m a moderator,
sometimes they love me or hate me,
they shouldn’t complain too much
when I monitor this place for free!
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Euty is a moderator
Who never had time for a spouse
He’s banning a user, for being an abuser
from the comforts of his house.
While Zotti practicies politics
and dopers come and go
We’ll all fight ignorance
I can’t think of no mo!
Detop and Welby (and others) You truly have a gift!
~sniffle~ All I wanted was to put the words “copyright infringement” into a song!
