Hey Guys and Girl

Steve is working on putting together an entire redesign for Winamp.com. He is making plenty of room for new and original content. Problem is I am the only one currently writing content on the site (unless you count Bonnie and why would you do that?) and I know that you don't want 10 articles from me right off the bat. So I have decided to make one of the articles (at least for this week) the Nullsoft Poetry corner. I think it is only fitting to extend an invitation to the Winamp community to help fill this area because this is the best that I could come up with on the fly:

Roses are red
Llamas are for whippin'
If you aren't down with Winamp
You must be trippin'

See why I need the help?

Yes you can be a part of our big site relaunch. Just post your poems here and I will grab some of the good ones and put them up on the site. Be sure to include your name and email if you want credit. If you don't want credit then be shy. No worries.

Make the poems as long or short as you want. Haiku is perfectly acceptable.

I can't wait to read what you guys come up with.

Why do you ask me to write a poem?
I am no good.
I dont know what to do,
Like most people would.

:D

rm' 8th March 2001 00:33

Jon, you have no idear what you got yourself into :D

Watch the llama
Plod across the green grassy
Hills and take a crap.

Winamp. Can it get
Any better than this? Let's
Hope Winamp3 is.

Sparkles and sprinkles.
Either I'm high on something or
AVS is on.

Look at me! I'm on
Winamp-dot-com. Look at me!
I am great. Hi mom!

From distant shore, the
Llama came to say, "Live long
And enjoy Winamp".

Give me Winamp or
Give me death. To tell you the
Truth, just just want food.

And you of course know
Who I am. After all, you
Own my soul, don't you? :D

i know it sucks but it's all i could think of.
 
a linux user listenin to winamp

winamp is only for win32
and that shit just makes me blue
but hope will arrive
for the winamp deprived
and hopefully short

and for all you who be llama whippin
you cant beat jward's poem above about trippin'

s1138 8th March 2001 00:57

we're using winamp,
you probably are too,
but incase you arent,
well then your llama poo.

WTF was that:Dlol

violets are blue,
cans are tin,
winamp is pretty,
because of the skin.

Caesar was a king,
Napolean was a god,
Oh, but look at Jonathan,
he's got a hot bod. :D


thats enough for now:D



Indyrod 8th March 2001 01:01

Nullsoft is so cool it's twue,
Justin is da man you fool..
And if you don't agree I ask,
Show me better is your task..

chorus:
Winamp is for me for me,
I love it you see you see,
Why do I love my mp3,
It's because it's free it's free..

Rippin is the thing I do,
Encodin makes me go goo goo..
Makes my music easy to play,
More fun than watchin a cow eat hay..

repeat chorus:
Winamp is for me for me,
I love it you see you see,
Why do I love my mp3,
It's because it's free it's free..

Llama Llama everywhere,
Better than a hungry bear..
If a Llama tried to help me out,
I'd still stay clear of his smelly snout.

Repeat chorus:
Winamp is for me for me,
I love it you see you see,
Why do I love my mp3,
It's because it's free it's free..

END OF POEM....

Ode to the Winampy Mampy
 
There once was a Winampy Mampy
who lived in the Nullsoft woods
he liked to listen to polka
and all the ska he could.

But then one day
when he was out to play
someone broke in his shack
and stole his indie accordion tracks
for his new show on Shoutcast.

When Winampy Mampy returned
he felt oh so burned
and sat down to weep
like a pathetic heap.

Yet luck would have it
that the Magical Llama
passed by his shack
after dinner with the Dalai Lama.

He heard Wimanpy crying
and without really trying
recovered the tunes
and a few a macroons...

and Winampy Mampy rejoiced with a jig!

THE END

winamp is like cheese.

Once upon a time
There was a big huge lime
Who lived in San Francisco
And felt really low.

You see, winamp wasn't programmed yet
So what he did was buy a corporate jet
And fly off to Arizona
To find Justin enjoying a cola.

He said to Justin,
"I really feel like bustin'
Out in rhyme
Because of my blues, but me being a lime
Don't know where to start.
Please help this old fart".

So the wise Justin decided to help
The poor lime, and get some kelp
At the same time.
So, he packed up his bags to help rhyme
In the coast of California
Land of amateur pornia.

He programmed Winamp
For his limey buddy, who was now in camp.

When the lime got back in Fall
to the redwoods of Cali, which are ever so tall
He rejoiced because now
He could sing and dance, and how!

Flynnz 8th March 2001 02:01

wow
 
Interesting...* :D

(Maybe I'll add something silly later.)

SNYder 8th March 2001 02:35

From a world unknown came a man,
A man that could save the world from annihilation,

His name was Justin,
And he could code like no other man in this land,

And from him came a program,
That would tame the evil sonique clan,

And show them,
That they know nothin’,
About good codin’,
And the top spot Winamp is forever holdin’,

Not bad for a 2 minute project :)

Tom 8th March 2001 03:34

Here is my attempt at lame poetry (I think it falls under more of the lame rather then poetry):

The History of Nullsoft

Gather around children and listen to a tale,
this one is not about drunk uncle Jimmy going back to jail.
This one starts at the University of Utah and then goes to the southwest,
then off to San Fran where they joined up with the rest.
It all started back in the day,
with a quick port of AMP and only fun for pay.
Word got out about its kickass play list,
then the world had to download it, they couldn't resist.
Justin is this fellows name,
he goes by deadbeef and dresses like a pimp even with a cane.
Since he got his lady Al he pimps no more,
however she makes homemade applesauce they must be poor.
He used to fill his plan with things about his Audi, you know the car,
now he talks about trips to the dentist and parties they attend that had an open bar.
Things have changed with this gent,
it seems he wants to move on, at least I got that hint.
Perhaps it is time he has done his part,
I want to thank him for what is has done from the bottom of my heart.
He is only one man of the team,
however he is the only one to know the world domination scheme.
Tom Pepper works on Shoutcast and doesn't have much to say,
the running joke is that this fellow is gay.
Steve has a fascination with poo,
perhaps this is why he has problems with the ladies, who knew!
Then there is Brennan the guy behind Winamp 3,
IT'S ONLY IN ALPHA DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE BUG-FREE!
Then for all the skinners out there they have their buddy CO,
his real name is Cody Oliver and that's all I know.
There is guy named Jon who is crazy as can be,
I am kind of scared of him, maybe it just me.
Then we have the Frenchies, Denny and BT,
and all the new people like Jason, Kyle, Daniel, Susan and Rolf whoever they may be.
Who can forget about Rob, Ian, Ryan, Erinn, Steven and Pat,
and of course their mascot Mike the llama, what did you expect some sissy ass cat?
So that is how Nullsoft came to be,
now if only they would just hire me!

sgtfuzzbubble011 8th March 2001 03:55

Roses are red,
Sonique is green,
Download Winamp,
Or I'll kick you in the spleen. :D

Twilightseer 8th March 2001 08:22

I'll write something in French if I have time :)

Xerxes 8th March 2001 08:57

There once was a man from Nantucket,
He bought a llama to see if he could
teach it to use winamp :)

how did you think I was gonna end it? ;)

jns 8th March 2001 09:04

The llama already uses winamp to get its ass whipped, right? :p

steve 8th March 2001 09:47

holy shit, i love you boys and girls. ALL OF YOU! you all rock! Thanks for the great laughs

here's shots of the new site, if you wanna see'em, some of the shots are old and some are new, so please, don't email me, cause that'll make me blue.

-s

Twilightseer 8th March 2001 10:03

OK, here's my (lame) contribution:

It really sucks: you forgot your gamp :(
Just go back home and download Winamp :)
It really sucks: you're in the doldrums :(
Forget it all on the Winamp forums :)

:D

Bizznatch 8th March 2001 10:49

Woke up quick at about noon,
just thought that i had to download winamp3 soon.
Just logged on when it just occurred,
OH shit man, I gots ta go to work.

About to go and I damn near went blind,
Stupid fools on da block throwin up Sonique signs.
I went in the house to get the clip,
With my machine gun at the side of my hip.

I bailed outside and I pointed my weapon,
and just as I thought those fools kept steppin.
Buncha fools got up and started to hide,
So i left them alone and got into my ride.

Then I let my WINAMP play,
I was pumpin new shit by Limp and Green Day,
It was Korn and Fuel at the top of my playlist,
then I played my old shit it went somethin like this....



[oh god, writer's block!]

Flynnz 8th March 2001 11:27

LMAO
 
Awesome! *:D

Especially you, Tom!
But one thing: is "BT" Cristophe? And if not, then.. why'd you forget Christophe!?* ;)

Cruisin down the street in my VW 64,
passin the geezers, goddman they slow.
I went to my work and got the scoop,
fat ass boss on the capper cold takin a poop.

Car pulls up who can it be?,
it's a fresh El Camino playin MP3s
He rolls down the window and he starts to say,
"it's all about downloading that .WMA"

Cuz the Boyz in the Forums are always hard,
Come talking that trash, we'll kick your arse.
Knowing nothing in life but to be legit,
don't quote me boy cuz I ain't said shit.

[I'm done now]

Tom 8th March 2001 11:55

Ha thanks Flynnz. BT is watadoo however I did forget Tag. Maybe I'll add him in later when I get some time. Cristophe falls under the Frenchie catagory along with Francis.

Look forward to the future
Don't look back
Ride high on the cyberwave
Take in the music
Flowing gracefully
Thru to you
Go ahead, Push froward
Forget about the past
Tune into your future
Tune into shoutcast

Out of the darkness
Comes a shining light
Piercing though to your soul and eyes
Reaching in to take ahold
Of all you feel inside
Taking over your spirit
And setting you aloft
Come now
Feel the spirit
Known as Nullsoft

Think of all you've learned
Think of what Others have sacrificed
Think of the here and now
Do you have soul
Do you have the will to survive
Are you glad to be alive
Do what you can to be a better person
Do what you can to achieve
Do the best you can every day
And While your at it
Gain a little self-respect
And a little style and class
Download Winamp
Because it really does
Whip the llama's ass

s1138 8th March 2001 22:59

come to the forums,
its the place to be,
you can talk all you want,
or you can be like me.

you can bitch about life,
you can bitch about your cat,
you can bitch about your wife,
or you could bitch about flatmatt.

you can chat in the Gen D,
you can talk about your pee,
you can help write a story,
cause this place is really really corny.

have you heard the news,
alpha was released while drinking booze,
hey but its still alpha, so dont have a fit,
come and talk about improving it.

so you got a question,
come and have a session,
you can ask steve,
or you can just reave.

you can hug a plugin,
or you can love a skin,
you could make it spin,
or you could just bring your twin.

do you speak a different tongue,
for winamp, would you give a lung,
the world domination is for you,
as long as you dont act like poo.

do you need some help,
check out the tech kelp,
they claim to know stuff,
but it could just be a bluff.

do you use shoutcast,
you can talk about music at last,
or you could get some help,
but not from the kelp.

justin has a place of his own,
who would have thought or known,
he speaks lots of words,
cause nullsoft aint just a bunch of nerds.


(what was i doing?)








WolfieD 8th March 2001 23:47

Winamp, with its great sound and ring
makes me wanna stand up and sing!
I wish it looked better, though.
But Winamp 3s coming soon, you know.

I listen to music all day on my system,
wanted to phone a friend, but i missed him.
Cuz you see, I got so plastered
in jamming to MP3s I had Napstered.

Without Winamp, Id use something lesser,
Without Winamp, Id be a crappy dresser.
Without Winamp, It would be really cold,
Without Winamp, Life wouldn't unfold.
Without Winamp, the world would be a bore.
Cuz Winamp does anything I ask; And More!

It truly is a great multi-tasking app,
With an Alarm Plugin, it wakes me up from a nap!
The AVS and Geiss are really fun, you see...
Cuz without those, we'd need Meth and LSD!

"No other program offers this much," says Chong
"Cuz I've seeked so long and searched so far!"
"Stop looking at Geiss, and pass the bong," said Cheech
While listening to Grateful Dead in the back of their car.

But that was a lie, since we all know
That Cheech and Chong smoked a long time ago.
And Winamp didnt exist back then.
Or did it? I'll hafta ask Justin again.

So in closing, I hope you all agree,
That you NEED a stable version of Winamp 3!

Mos, you've made one post, and you've managed to turn a thread around 180 degrees. What an accomplishment in PR! From now on, could you kindly maintain a minimum of 5% relevancy? Thanks.

Living in this world without winamp
So long, bitch you did me so wrong
I don't wanna go on
Living in this world without winamp

Red things are red
Blue things are blue
Mike is real sexy
The Llama not you


There once was a really cool Llama
Who liked dressing up in pyjamas
One day a bloke decided to knicked bed clothes
The reason for this no-one knows
The victim of course was the llama
Who made it out to be one hell of a drama
The Llama got rather mad
And kicked the thief in the nads
There is a morale to be had from this story
RESPECT THE LLAMA, ASSHOLE!!!

pixelpusher 9th March 2001 09:21


In the beginning
God made heaven and earth
he wrapped earth
With an atmophere
To protect it
Then he created all the peeps
Looked around
And said to himself
Man I am the shitz

Then he made the animals
Every kind of beast
From the biggest and baddest
To the littlest and the least
And he did all
With no drama
He even made a llama
And most of the peeps were happy
But most of them
Were quite sappy

But one group stood out
They screamed at God
Hey dude whats this shit about

God said what?
What are you all screaming for
Don't give me no shit
I'll kick you to the curb and more

Then one bold soul
Stood up and said, hey God
Man the world is cool
I mean all this rulez
But there's no music
And nothing to play it with
Even if we had it
Without the world
Is just shit

God looked down
And saw that it was true
Scratched his old white head
What am I going to do

So wanting to do it right
He waited for the chance
When the timing would be tight
Then in an instance
He inspired justin
To create winamp
God said said to him
It will never be good enough
Each new version will be the shitz
But you must keep inproving it

Then God looked around
Everything was looking
The way he thought it should
Millions downloading winamp
All the music peeps are happy
So he sat back
And with a big grin
Said, Hey ya all..
From this day forward
From country to country
And hood to hood
Everyone listen to your MP3s
With winamp
Cause it's all good
