"Wake Me Up When September (1993) Ends," or Lament Of The Usenet Junkie
The first time I heard this song, the idea for this filk hit me between the eyes. It took a while to write it, however...

And no, at this time I have no plans to record myself singing this one. Then again, I didn't have any plans to record myself the last few times, either...

If you don't get the references, search online for "September that never ended."


USENET has come and passed
The Internet can never last
Wake me up when September ends

AOL has come to pass
The S/N ratio fell so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here come the newbs again
Spamming up the news
Posting "me too!"s again
The groups are going to lose

As my signature says
The netiquette forever lost
Wake me up when September ends

USENET has come and passed
The Internet can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Flame out the trolls again
Like we did when spam began
Wake me up when September ends

Here come the newbs again
Spamming up the news
Posting "me too!"s again
The groups are going to lose

As my signature says
The netiquette forever lost
Wake me up when September ends

USENET has come and passed
The Internet can never last
Wake me up when September ends

AOL has come to pass
The S/N ratio fell so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
