Dear IT Professional,
This morning I was singing in the shower and I had an epiphany! (no girls not a Tiffany.. an epiphany!..) I know the one thing that is missing in our industry.... The IT Professional Songbook!
I mean – there this the American Songbook, The Beatles Songbook and the ukulele songbook... but, there is NO IT Professional songbook!
What are we supposed to sing at our Karaoke nights?!!

Written by Sting [& Sergei Prokofiev & Philippe!]
In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the OGC
Mister Turbitt said, 'We will assess you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the software vendors love their customers too
How can I save my little boy
From Sharon Taylor's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the IT fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Software Vendors love their customers too
There is no historical precedent to put
Words in the mouth of the itSMF
There's no such thing as a certified product
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister England says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Software Vendors love their customers too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Software Vendors love their customers too
Skep, vendor bashing is fun. These are probably the most entertaining articles on your blog.
But when are you going to talk about why so many vendors do so much bullshit : because it works.
Maybe you could start customer bashing.

Last week Carlos Casanova, Stephen Mann and I started our l started our lyrics for the CMDB song to the tune of ‘YMCA’, but other than that I don’t know of any examples of suitable songs for the IT Professional Songbook...
C’mon people of the IT Industry – show your creative side and send me the BEST IT Professional Karaoke songs you can think of...
Some rules apply:
1) The words to your song have to be original and not infringe any copyright. You may refer to the original score, but all text has to be original.
2) The lyrics have to be PG rated – you don’t want to drop any profane language in front of your boss at the annual IT Department Christmas Party – now do you????
3) The lyrics have to be in English
4) The lyrics have to cover at least one verse and chorus - but be creative as a
The book will be published as soon as we have 100 suitable songs. It will be published in a similar way as the ITIL Experience Project.
Your entries may be anonymous or named – it’s up to you! Just let me know if you would like to remain anonymous and we won’t print your name in the book!
The profits of this book will go to ‘doctors without borders’ (medicines sans frontiers) to help with emergencies like the earthquake in Haiti.
NOW - to enter your lyrics to the IT Professional Songbook, you will need to create a new page. Rename the page to the title of your song and copy the song in the text area of the page.
It's as simple as that!!
Have fun, and be creative....
Let me know if you need any help
