SoundDraw 1.0

/oldarchives/sounddraw-thumb.png

Once we could sing pictures
Once we could draw songs
But all of that is changed now
And everything is wrong
And SoundDraw is responsible, yeah

Mother taught us drawing
With pudding and crayons
Father taught us music
With dulcimers and gongs
But now we’ve lost our creativity

That’s when I reach for my REALbasic
That’s when SoundDraw begins to play
That’s when I reach for my REALbasic
And SoundDraw blows a chunky spray

The first time I used SoundDraw
It seemed like good clean fun
It made me feel so happy
To draw a big red sun
I didn’t see my doom approaching me

But now the window’s empty
The big red sun is gone
I have a SoundDraw habit
And it rides me
Like a monkey
But I say!

That’s when I reach for my REALbasic
That’s when SnakeO slurps poop soufflé
That’s when I reach for my 10.3
And that is all I have to say.

Dark. Kinda gothic if you ask me. I appreciated the beat of the song even if it didn't point out any real flaws in the program. I can easily forgive the lack of reasoning because it was edited in song from

I like the wording of the song. This guy's got real potential. But it makes me wonder. What horrible affliction might he have if he is stuck rating bad software?

Hey Rustic Boy,

Are you referring to naomi when you say, "This guy's got real potential"? When did naomi have the sex change operation?

PEOPLE, you got to send out the memo when there is a change in the staff. How am I supposed to make proper stupid comments if the PvT staff is constantly changing their sex!

You know that "Naomi" spelled backwards is "I Moan". Write that down.

This has to be the Moby version; Mission of Burma could never be associated with anything this awful.

Okay, here's the Mission of Burma version:

And now we have tinnitus
From sniffing too much glue
And MTV ignores us
They tell us that we're nothing...

but we're still LOUDER THAN YOU!

Its really sad when you realize the only place you can fid Mission of Burma fans is PvT.

Mission to Burma? I really don't like talking about it, but I like you, kid... Yeah, it was grotty. There were seven of us on a Dakota flying out of India to drop supplies to Merrill. A Zeke appeared out of nowhere and shot out the cockpit. The crew was dead, as were the hydraulics. It was simply luck that I was able to land the plane on top of the jungle canopy by maneuvering the control cables with my fingers, toes, and tongue. No matter how many medals they give me, I'll never forget the expression on that poor monkey's just before the prop juiced him in the treetops.

You know, kid, thanks for asking. I feel better now.

"That´s when I reach for my Ry'huana..."

Ugh, I should't be writing comments at this time - especially with the intoxication applied during the last hours!

Leibnitz! Watch your interpreter! Is it really "grotty"? Or "grottish"? Or maybe you wanted to translate it, and you meant "cavernous, in a dark, subterranean way" ?

Ugh. I need a multi-dimensional keyboard.

Here I am, trying to make
new bread coatings out of fisch
and barbecue sauces
my head is ringing
my cell-phone not -
happy that Leibnitz made it, though.

Dudes, don't be dissin' the SnakeO deal. It's got mad potential for even the lowliest of low beings, and the gui rocks too. I didn't really ever draw anything, I was rather just fascinated by the fact that when you hold the arrow keys in, the number keeps getting bigger. I got to 10000 once, but it still went on, so my guess would be infinity on that one. I really loved when a sound got stuck on and just played the whole time, it was very stimulating.

Is this to the tune of "That's when I reach for my Revolver", perchance? Good choice, even if the original chorus could work just as well.

Has anybody seen my wombat? Brown one. Hairy-nosed chappie. Had him here a minute ago. Hope he hasn't burrowed into the hollow and fatuous head of any of the chaps who tend to hang around this dingy, smoke-filled joint.

Don't be impudent, Belvedere! I don't "hang around" here. I'm conducting anthropological (anthropomorphic, more like!) research! No pass me that cotton-tip. I need to swab this lady's ...

Madam! I can assure you, I'm a scientist! There's no need to point that gun at my

Hey NATHAN r. kUNST,
Only REALlyBASIC users forget that the green glowing light under the button that says caps lock means that caps are locked. Isn't is ironic that the name of the key actually describes what it does?
Maybe you (and all other RB users) should consider using the Retroactive Birth Control button.
