Bye Bye Mr. CIO Guy lyrics

What do you get when Pat Helland is on vocals, Don Box is on guitar and David Chappell is on piano?

You get a hilarious song direct from TechEd Europe.

Pat sings his version of Don McClean's American Pie.

The lyrics were written by Pat in response to Nicholas Carr’s Harvard Business Review paper “IT Doesn’t Matter” in which Mr. Carr proposes that businesses reconsider their IT investments. This is a “speculative retrospective” in which we examine what happened “The Day That IT Died”.

Bye Bye Mr CIO Guy..

Ah, almost like the old days when real IT guys were sent to real computer user group conferences that were 90% seminars with real meat on them. Very unlike later when the IT travel budget got blown sending box jockeys to trade shows and toy shows like COMDEX.

... just in case the reason for posting it in this forum wasn't very clear.

It was actually pretty funny, and unfortunately, some of it seems true.
