Tuesday Night Open Thread

Ah, old songs. And some might not be what you think.

If you’ve never heard of the song “Nagasaki” and found out there were many recordings in the 1940s, what would you think? The dropping of the bomb?

Well, you’d be wrong. The song is actually from the 1930s.

Autodrive My Car (Song Parody)

[High Praise! to Oppo]

Autodrive My Car (to the tune of “Drive My Car” by The Beatles)

Asked the world what it wanted to see:
It said, “Baby, more I.T.!
I want autonomous, a car on a screen
But right now there’s something in-between.”

USB can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna beat OnStar
Say, YouTube can drive my car
And maybe T-bone you….

I told Alexa my reflexes were good
And she said “Baby, it’s understood:
Avoiding humans is all very fine
But I can’t be fined for any crime.”

GPS can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna beat OnStar
Say YouTube can drive my car
And maybe T-bone you;
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah….

I told that girl to Kickstart right away
And she said, “Listen, baby, I got nothing to say
I got no car that ain’t breaking apart
But I’ve replaced a driver, and that’s a start.”

Google View can drive my car
Yes I’m gonna beat OnStar
Baby, Musk can drive my car
And maybe T-bone you….
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah (0101010101)
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah (0101010101)
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah (0101010101)
Beep beep’m beep beep yeah (fade out)
