Beverly Hill Billy Gates (Sung to the tune of theBeverly Hillbillies)
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man name Gates
A poor nerdy geek, couldn't get himself no dates
And then one day he was writtin' up some code
And up on his screen came a program called DOS mode
Plain code, Trademark T
Well the first thing you know ol' Gates a millionaire
His geek friends said, Gates you really got one there
They said on the market is the place you wanna be
So he loaded up his code to sell on ever-ry PC
Data pools, Label bars
Well, that ol' DOS was good but it needed an upgrade
Something for the common man so he won't be afraid
So then he looked at Apple and he got himself a clue
He'd make a graphics interface - Yes! that is what
he'd do
Mouse clicks, Pictures too
Out of this was born Windows version three point one
It was better than that good ol' DOS the way it got
things done
But it was just an interim and had a ways to go
Cause the internet was comin' and he had to make a
show
Web Sites, Dot Coms
Well now the internet was born and Billy looked around
His Windows three point one was gettin' less and less
per pound
So he had to meet the market and he had to do this
quick
And Windows ninety five came just in the time of nick
System Registrys, Network Ready
Well ninety five would work ok until it would go bust
He needed stronger OS hosts that were much more robust
He told his staff to write some code that could do
some real browsin'
And from this high paid programming staff came a
Windows called two thousand
Plug and Play, Internet Friendly
Well now it's time to say good bye to Bill and all his
men
And they would like to thank you folks for kindly
loggin' in
You're all invited back next time with your ability
To test the beta version of the next thing that will
be
Holograms, Who Knows? Y'all come back now, ya hear?

All I can say is hehehe...I loved it! Easy to follow verses, and very funny to boot!
I still think it's funny....you can hear the music!
This is not approtpate for children to see!!!
Microsoft is paying anyone who votes on this song $20.00 and an additional $10.00 for every email sent with the URL to this song. To qualify send one email to anyone with a CC to billgatesparody@microsoft.com. The sender of every email message with a CC to the microsoft.com mailbox will get ten(10) US dollars up to a maximum of 25 emails from any one mailer. A total of 100,000 emails will be paid for in this ad campaign. So hurry and get those emails started while funding is still available.
Clever as always Guy! :-)
Clever! It's quite a contrast to go from a hillbilly song to a microsoft song
Your lyrics, though very different, have the same kind of feel to them, like what might have happened had the Beverly Hillbillies happened in present day. Nice work.
This is as funny as when I first read it...heheheheh!!
A classic, Guy! 5's
Yet another example of an original being incredibly improved upon!
Brilliant, just brilliant. Even funnier than Bill Gates' offer above. You guys crack me up!
Musta missed this one; very good Guy

Nice one, GD'R. The title alone is classic.
How could I neglect to revote for my old favorite?
one problem... first verse says writin'... that should be Buyin' since he bought the dos program to sell as MS-DOS
Ha! My TOPS-10 operating systems on my DEC-10 mainframes used DOS for way over a decade before Hill Billy Gates first crawled out of a punch card reader.
