The Free Software Song- The Creaking Planks with Richard Stallman

The Free Software Song- The Creaking Planks with Richard Stallman, recorded in Vancouver February 6 2009

[To the melody of Sadi Moma:]
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
x2
Hoarders may get piles of money,
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.
When we have enough free software
At our call, hackers, at our call,
We'll throw out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
x2

Yeah, it's you.

[perfectionbox]

Okay, okay, I'll use the GPL v3 if you'll just stop singing! No need to resort to torture. :)

[ArneBab]

The rhythm of that song is evil - but as far as I hear it, the musicians get the rhythm very well, and he's only himself to blame that it's hard to sing, since RMS wrote that song himself :)

Anyway: I like this version very much!

[NytzaYoz]

I'm the only one that thinks that he's getting head at 2:36? :))

[ArneBab]

@MrGallret that’s what is called filking (among other things) :) – I like it a lot. 

[MrGallret]

@ArneBab He borrowed the entire melody and rhythm from a Bulgarian song, he just wrote the lyrics.

[BenAshton24]

@perfectionbox lol XD

[prickett233]

hhe, thats part of the "x factor" that makes this song memorable

[sharperguy]

1:25 Is that guy mooning the camera?

[queenoftheapocalypse]

Even though he keeps tappin' it, his gut isn't very good at keeping time either.
