Songs for Mozilla (English version)


Japanese version of this page.

About this song:
On May 18th, 2002, "Mozilla1.0 Release Mini-Conference & Party" was held in Tokyo, Japan. I presented (sang up) a parody song in the party by way of entertainment, of course in Japanese. After the party, I heard that Mr. Asa Dotzler (Mozilla.org) , who was a main guest and key note speaker, loved the song. So I made up my mind to make an English version.
It is a parody song of the theme of "AstroBoy", an old TV animation made in Japan. In case you don't know the song, midi (20KB) is here (no 3rd verse in the midi, but the original has). The Japanese title of "AstroBoy" is "Tetsuwan Atom", which means "Mighty Atom" where Atom is the name of the hero robot.

Remember, English is my second language.

Mighty Mozilla
Additional words by Joji Ikeda

Beyond IE, lalala far from Opera
Go on, Mozilla, with the Internet
Mozilla is good, lalala child of the org
Open-Sourced, Mighty Mozilla

Open a new tab, lalala watching new mail
OK, Mozilla, no more freezing
Mozilla is right, lalala child of the org
Gecko-powered, Mighty Mozilla

On a Macintosh, lalala Linux, of course
Everyday, Mozilla, keeping the standard
Mozilla is fun, lalala child of the org
Everyone's friend, Mighty Mozilla

Addendum:
If you like this kind of things, here's another one based on "We are the Champions" by Queen. No midi is here, but I guess you know this song cause it was a world wide smash hit.

We are the hackers
Additional words by Joji Ikeda

I've checked my patches, time after time
I've done my reviews, but committed no crime
And bad mistakes, I've made a few
I've had my share of bug kicked in my face, but I've come through

We are the hackers - my friends
And we'll keep on hacking till the end
We are the hackers, we are the hackers
No time for users
Cause we are the hackers, of the world

I've taken my hooks, and my assign calls
You brought me theme and fix, and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure crash
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain't gonna lose

We are the hackers - my friends
And we'll keep on hacking till the end
We are the hackers, we are the hackers
No time for users
Cause we are the hackers, of the world

(repeat)
