Come Bitrate Monday
(apologies to Jimmy Buffet)

Loggin’ on to my favorite newsgroup.
Findin’ out what I might not know.
I find a thread that is tired and long and contentious.
You know how it goes.
And funny, I didn’t know
That you’d be dissin’ me so.

Come Monday, come the bitrate fights,
Come Monday, you can never be right.
I think songs sound just great using 128
Somehow you never quite see my side.

Yes, it’s been a discussion
That we’ve seen again and again.
I could recite every line now from both sides
And you know how this whole thing begins.
You know your encodes, they make me quite sick.
Please repost them at 256.

Come Monday, come the bitrate fights,
Come Monday, you can never be right.
I think songs sound just great using 128
Somehow you never quite see my side.

I don’t think it funny.
You tell me my ears are all shot
Just remember it’s all just opinion.
You don’t have to be such a snot.

I hope you’re enjoyin’ the banter.
It’s all just so pointless you see.
I know I’ll never convince you.
And I’m sure that you won’t convince me.
All this drivel has worn me quite thin.
See ya Monday. We’ll do it again.

Come Monday, come the bitrate fights,
Come Monday, you can never be right.
