Making up words

Mood:
Amused (easily)

Some people have accused me (me!) of making up words to songs so as to amuse myself and others. Here's one for you, though, that I would never have done (okay, maybe, but I'd have to have given it serious thought).

Lyrics are sung to the tune of "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General," from Pirates of Penzance:


I am the very model of a Singularitarian
I'm combination Transhuman, Immortalist, Extropian,
Aggressively I'm changing all my body's biochemistry
Because my body's heritage is obsolete genetically,
Replacing all the cells each month it's here just temporarily
The pattern of my brain and body's where there's continuity,
I'll try to improve these patterns with optimal biology,
("But how will I do that? I need to be smarter. Ah, yes...")
I'll expand my mental faculties by merging with technology,
Expand his mental faculties by merging with technology,
Expand his mental faculties by merging with technology
Expand his mental faculties by merging with technology


Very silly, indeed.

Via Boing Boing
