The following is set to tune of “What Shall we do With the Drunken Sailor.” As with the sea chantey itself, there are some pronunciation peculiarities: “early = er-lye” and ditto with similar words. Note: this song is tongue-in-cheek and for the purposes of amusement only – if you can’t tell that I’m being sarcastic here, you are officially several standard deviations below average on the IQ scale…

New GameTap (whining) Song
By: Hyperjag7

What do you do with a browser GameTap?
What should you do with a browser GameTap?
What can you do with a browser GameTap early in the morning?

Head on to the forums and curse the admins
Let’s go to the forums and flame the admins
Log on to the forums to blame the admins instead of management

“This stinks!” and “Down with GameTap!”
“Return my Player GameTap!”
“I’m gonna cancel GameTap ‘cause I’m ticked this morning!”

You might have to wait a whole half hour
You might have to wait, so take a shower
Maybe when you’re clean you won’t be sour to the folks at GameTap

Grumble, gumble, whine and cry at GameTap
You can kiss their money goodbye GameTap
But don’t think that they will shut up, GameTap, so soon in the morning

“This stinks!” and “Down with GameTap!”
“Return my Player GameTap!”
“I’m gonna cancel GameTap ‘cause I’m ticked this morning!”

Hey! What’s with the bugs? What the hell GameTap?
Can’t you fix the bugs? Get on it GameTap!
Come on fix the bugs I’m sick of getting all these errors GameTap!

(4109) Forty-one oh-nine – x, y, drive mapping
(4100) Four one-hundred – downloads always napping
Error messages are always snapping at my heels now Gametap

“This sucks – return the player!”
“Ten bucks!? Return my player!”
“I want my freaking integrated player GameTap!”

“This stinks!” and “Down with GameTap!”
“Return my Player GameTap!”
“I’m gonna cancel GameTap ‘cause I’m ticked this morning!”
“Yes, I’m going to cancel GameTap ‘cause I’m ticked this morning!!!”

I am printing this! Thanks for the laugh hyperjag7

Dang it. I'm going to be humming What Shall we do With the Drunken Sailor all day now.

I think its kinda 2 face-ish that I put up a thread for feedback about all the "lock down" the admins hand out like Hall Moniter detention passes and yinz took it down in 2 min flat. And I put a poll thread up, 2 actually, askin simply if BETA is BETTA or BETA isn't BETTA and yinz took the BETA is not BETTA one off and left BETA is BETTA one up (nice trick btw to make it only show "BETA is BETTA" real big, you guys are smooth) but only after yinz locked it. Yet this Jag, post a thread about PAYING costumers upset (whining) cause the player the company put out isn't working and you get a LAUGH outta it. If you wanna print something, print out......"Customer Support 101: How To Show The Customer You Care.", cause "its your problem our stuff doesn't work now, not ours." isn't a chapter in that book I don't think.

This thread is meant to be a joke your poll, not so much. Read:

and don't forget the line that was after that...

Holy crap this is too funny. I use to be in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman or "Doc" as the Marines call us. When I was out running with the Marines at 5:00 in the am, we'd call cadence to this very tune. We'd sing "What do you do with a drunken Sailor, who's been caught making out with the Captain's daughter? Throw him in the brig with bread and water? Dump him off the coast of Key West Florida!

O.K. I'm gonna type this slow for the people who are under the IQ cause NOWHERE in my reply did I complain about the song itself. I'm an artist so I encourage creativity. I was getting on the Admins for their use of Locking down anything they choose (like I did a thread asking about there being over 5,000 players on the other night and after about 12 comments about that being unlikely.......LOCKED DOWN. And my BETTA poll, would that not be "Feedback"?? As in the return of information about the result of a process or activity; an evaluative response??? I was seeking peoples feedback as to if they thought it was/was not better. Than again, maybe ..... I is we Todd did. (say it fast)

:sigh: Stop hijacking threads. I locked your "poll" threads because:
a) We already had a similar pole
b) You didn't even use the poll function
c) It was clutter (especially since it was 2 threads)

Why one got moved to the trash and the other didn't was purely coincidence (I actually thought my browser opened 2 tabs for the "Betta is not better" thread and that I had moved it not that there were 2 threads.

The point, poky, is that you are totally off topic with what you are talking about, save for tangentially at best. The simple idea is this = ONE thread for ONE topic. Really not difficult. I think I may need to add a few verses to this song, based on what I'm seeing...

Hold up let's not get nasty.

Poky I'm sorry if my comments seem callous, I can see how you would take them as such. I assure you that I care about our customer's, so much so it literally keeps me up at night. Hyperjag's song just put on a smile on my face.

Always glad to be of service (**ironic bow**)

Ah Lil C. I'm sorry your if your having troubles sleeping over this mess. These people just nt to whine, yell and vent there frustration at a GT representative. Any your the only one they can comunivcate with! Of course I'm sure you know this. It just worries me that you would actually be losing sleep. I think your doing a fine job, even if you do lock threads that I try to have a debate on! Feel free to flame me for this post guys I don't really care, I'm just thanking someone for doing a great job. Besides what possible other motive could have have for sucking up to the mod?

Oh and to stay on topic I'm afraid I'm unfamilar with the song that this is based on.

It's usually one of the first songs you learn on almost any instrument:

... i can see this getting stuck in my head rather easily! hooray for sea tunes!

I think a death metal version of drunken sailor would fit well with those lyrics. I'm not sure why but It sure would be interesting to listen to

I'm thinking about doing another version (or just adding some verses for other continuous complaints...)
