Molly Malone -- The Graphics Card

So I was bored the other day and I was listening to The Dubliners - Molly Malone  on youtube "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdxLxnhGnvo"

And just having bought a new rig, I thought why not have a version of this where Molly Malone is a graphics card. Well this is what I came up with, I intended to make a recording using some karaoke track, but have been quite lazy about it.

So here goes, hope you enjoy it.

In electronic City, where the rigs are so pretty
I met a graphics card, called Molly Malone

While she churned out some hashes, other systems were in crashes
with their flicking transistors, going high and then low

going high and then low
high and then low

with their flicking transistors going high and then low

as she churned through the seasons, rendering landscapes and regions
working harder and longer than ever before

she was so much stronger, than the versions before her
but it wasnt a wonder that even she'd have to cope

computational vectors
non rational spline selectors

rotations, transformations 
each one took its toll

she died of a fever
while rendering a grim reaper
who poured down with his minons and collected her soul

now she's way up above
rendering constellatoins with starfish and doves

all the other systems going high and then low
