Achtung! Noch ein neues Virus, diesmal zuerst in Folk-Musiker-Kreisen gesichtet:
I. If anyone attempts to teach you a tune titled "JOIN THE CREW", do not
listen. This is NOT a traditional jig or a reel but is a 13/8 Balkan virus
form whose insidious counter-Celtic rhythms will erase all tunes in your
memory and the memory of any one who hears it and replaces ALL OF THEM
with a random excerpt from Snoopy Dog Dog's greatest hits! Please, send
this message to as many musicians as you can.......this is a new virus
and not many people know about it! This information was received this
morning from IRTRAD, please share it with anyone that might access the
tradition. There are concrete reports of sessions in as many as 42 cities
(so far) being destroyed by this virus, with up to 300 former session
musicians able only to sit mute and look at their instruments while
reciting Snoopy Dog Dog.
II. Also, if anyone receives a CD or tape entitled PEN PAL GREETINGS!
throw it out without listening to it!! This is a warning for all music
lovers - there is a dangerous virus propagating across the world through
entitled "PEN PAL GREETINGS!". DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY CD OR TAPE ENTITLED
"PEN PAL GREETINGS"!! This album appears to be a traditional album, but
by the time you listen to it, it is too late. The "trojan horse" virus
will have already infected the boot sector of your CD or tape player. It
is a self-replicating virus, and once the CD or tape is played, it will
AUTOMATICALLY attach itself to any other CD or tape you play! This virus
will DESTROY your music collection by overwriting all traditional music
with a 4-second rap song that repeats continuously for up to 23.5 hours.
This virus holds the potential to DESTROY the music collection of anyone
to whom you loan ANY CD or tape, and of anyone to whom they loan a CD,
and so on. If this virus keeps getting passed, it has the potential to
erase all CD and tapes worldwide!!!!
Please, throw out the CD or tape titled "PEN PAL GREETINGS!" as soon as
you see it!
III. And pass this message along to all of your friends, relatives and
the other readers of the newsgroups and mailing lists which you are on so
that they are not hurt by this dangerous virus!!!! Please pass this along
to everyone you know so this can be stopped. PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
