So far I have'nt seen anything major made for the marketing of VFP8
I thought about this and I realized that it would be cool that like it happened for Windows 95 and Windows XP, VFP would have its song for the official launch.
The group has to be right: Here's what I think: The Beatles (known internationally)
The song has to be one that is or was very popular: Yesterday
And they would only have to change some words.
Here's how I see it for the lyrics
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as thought they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday (you see so far so good)
Sudlenly, I'm not half the man I used to be (here I suggest replacing man by product)
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday, came suddenly
Why she, had to go (here I suggest "marketing" instead of "she")
I don't know she wouldn't say ("they" instead of "she")
I said, something wrong (replace all phrase by "Maybe I was too strong"
because some said that the product could compete
with SQL-Server )
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play ("Business" instead of "love")
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Why she, had to go I don't know ("marketing" instead of "she")
She wouldn't say ("they" instead of "she")
I said, something wrong (replace all phrase by "Maybe I was too strong")
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play ("Business" instead of "love")
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday.
and at the end (the humming)
Hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmmmm (replace by "Boo hooo hoooo hooo hooo hooo hooo)
If Yesterday does'nt make it perhaps the song "Help" could be used.
I just hope that this proposition will be taken seriously <g>
