Intro    : Okay, as long as we're on the subject of other parodies,
	   I'll post one I started a while back.  I gave up before
	   really finishing, when our tenor claimed that the vast
	   majority of non-computer types wouldn't "get" it, and
	   proved it by handing it around his office and noting the
	   blank stares.
	   But here it is, for you computer folks:
Song     :

  Hello, my baby,
  hello, my HACKER,
  hello, my ASCII gal

  Send me a kiss by MAIL (BY EMAIL),
  baby I hope you're FEMALE.             <-- this is the best line...you
					      never really know with email!
  If you refuse me,
  honey, you'll lose me,
  then you'll be left alone.

  Oh, baby, email me,
  and tell me that ...

  I've got a little baby
    and she's out of sight,
  I TYPE to her across the INTERNET (no sweat).
  I've never seen my baby,
  but she types alright,
  And CompuServe is causing quite a debt.
  so...

  Hello, my baby,
  hello, my honey,
  hello, my sys-admin,

  Send me a kiss by MAIL,
  Don't let our modems fail.

  If you refuse me,
  honey, you'll lose me,
  then you'll be left alone.

  Oh, baby, CYBERSPACE
  can be a lonely place...

  Hello, hello, hello there,
  tell me that you're mine,
  buzz my modem line.
