Downtime, sametown, I always get them mixed up.

Occasionally, you hear a song that gets stuck in your head, and you sing it all day. Even better, when it is a parody, you can smile every time you sing it.

This one is an attempt to describe a ‘productivity’ tool…

Sametime (click to hear the song)
When you’re alone and work is making you lonely
You can just install
Sametime
If you’ve got problems you can schedule a meeting
To attend online
Sametime

You can view the names of the participants and meetings
View the application sharing – hey, it’s really neat –
How can you lose?

Sametime Connect is so cool
If your co-workers are online, they’ll respond back to you

’Cos it’s Sametime
Try it and have some fun
Sametime
You won’t be the only one
Sametime
It’s out there waiting for you

Sametime
Sametime
Sametime
Sametime

You can download and install the package on your own PC
Sametime
You can self-register, create an account
You know it’s so easy
Sametime
Share your applications with the folks in other cities
Join a new discussion group
Get down to nitty-gritty
How can you lose?
Start up a chat with your friends
You’ll get their messages instantly
The buzz never ends
’Cos it’s Sametime
Try it and have some fun
Sametime
You won’t be the only one
Sametime
It’s all there waiting for you.

If you like it, share the love..

    Alternative lyrics from an actual sametime user:

    When you’re at work and being too productive
    You can just install
    Sametime
    If you’ve too much free memory and CPU
    To use for actual work
    Sametime

    You can sometimes view the names of the participants and meetings
    View the application sharing – if it works –
    How can you not lose?

    Sametime Connect is so lame
    If your co-workers are online, they’ll be lucky if they can respond back to you

    ’Cos it’s Sametime
    Try it and waste some time
    Sametime
    You be regretting it for a long time
    Sametime
    It’s out there waiting for you, like a serial killer

    Sametime
    Sametime
    Sametime
    Sametime

    Don’t download and install the package on your own PC
    Sametime
    Wait for IT to order you
    Or better yet, use the open source meanwhile plugin
    Sametime
    Keep trying to share your applications with the folks in other cities
    Or get angry trying to join a new discussion group
    Get down to nitty-gritty with java tracebacks
    How can you not lose?
    Start up a chat with your friends - if it works
    You’ll get their messages - eventually
    The annoyance never ends
    ’Cos it’s Sametime
    Take your blood pressure medication then try
    Sametime
    Unfortunately you won’t be the only one
    Sametime
    It’s there waiting for you, like a mass murderer

    If you like it, you must work for IBM…
