P-Nort and the crew IN THA HIZZLE TO CAP THA VIZZLE! And hopefully, it won’t slow down your procizzle or thrash your hard drizzle.
[via Teaching the Indie Kids to Dance Again] Here’s a little musical biscuit you might want to choke down only once: Symantec Revolution [2.6MB MP3], a song promoting Symantec (the people behind Norton Antivirus) based on the 1991 hit Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
The lyrics name-drop Symantec CEO John Thompson and boast of how “No-ki-a and Chevron think we’re tough!”. Here’s a sample from the breakdown:
Enterprise is hot, I’m telling you
Do we know e-commerce? You bet we do!
Shelf space means the world to us
‘Cause our brands are causing quite a fuss
(Bass!) We’re the leader in internet security
People trust our work implicitly
This world-wide conference is to prove
Symantec is hot, hot, hot, so raise the roof!
Any more street and they’d be “C.J.” from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
If this song doesn’t want you to jump up and install some anti-virus software on your computer right this instant, you’re probably in good company.

yes, but does it detect the Sony Malware?
The song itself could be considered malware.
(As for whether Symantec products can detect the Sony rootkit, the answer is “yes” for those that “support security risks”.)
