Big Erik and "The Number"
(sung to tune of "Proud Mary", apologies to Creedence Clearwater Revival)
Left a good job in Bispgården,
Workin' down at Skogis every night and day,
And he never lost one minute in the forest
Worryin' 'bout the gain he was givin’ away,
Big Erik keep on turnin', Status Number keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on "The Number"
Drew a lot of graphs in his office
Dumped a lot of gain just to favour more genes,
But he never saw the good side of "The Number",
Till he hitched a ride on that simulation screen
Big Erik keep on turnin', Status Number keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on "The Number"
If you come down here to Skogis,
Dag’ll give you lots of equations that live
You don't have to worry, 'cause you got no data,
POPSIM and Tim are happy to give.
Big Erik keep on turnin', Status Number keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on "The Number"
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on "The Number"
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on "The Number"
Me and Professor Dag
(sung to tune of "I’m in love with a big blue frog", apologies to Peter, Paul & Mary)
Ohhh, I'm in love with Professor Dag
An’ Professor Dag loves me
It's not as strange as it appears
He gave me "gain" and "diversity"!
Ohhh, I'm not worried about the trees
I know they'll turn out swell
They'll have great genes 'cause they' been bred
And status like no one can tell
Ohhh, I'm in love with Professor Dag
An’ Professor Dag loves me
It's not as strange as it appears
He gave me brains and a PhD!
Some breeders are against it and it's clear to me
As it's probably clear to you
They think diversity and gain will go right down
Once Dag and I get through
Ohhh, I'm in love with Professor Dag
And Professor Dag loves me
I got it tattooed right on my chest
It says "co-an-ces-t-ry" ... That's Dag to me ...
"CO-AN-CES-T-RY"!!!!!
