    Inspired by 372pages.com
    OASIS, Halliday,
    Big announcement, giveaway,
    Planet Earth is in decay
    But no one seems to know
    Easter Egg, Anorak,
    Classic arcade almanac,
    Hidden gates, hidden keys,
    Gunters on the go
    Wade Watts, poverty,
    Goods and workers, Mrs. G,
    Living in a lightning rod,
    By the way: There’s no God
    Chat room, Cheshire grin,
    “Talkin’ ‘bout Star Wars again?”
    I-r0k, smack talk,
    Did these people just applaud?
    1980s reference!
    Everyone has viewed it
    So I must include it
    1980s reference!
    It received attention
    So it’s worth a mention
    Tomb of Horrors, D&D,
    Game of Joust, Copper Key,
    Art3mis is blowin’ kisses
    But she could be Chuck
    Middletown destination,
    WarGames movie simulation,
    Fans of mindless recitation
    Boy, are you in luck!
    Chat link, cash bribe,
    IOI, evil vibe,
    Sux0rz, corporate phonies,
    Sorrento likes cajones
    Bomb explodes, lump in throat,
    Unexpected tragic note,
    Trailers frying, people dying,
    Think of all the housecoats!
    1980s reference!
    Simple recognition
    Is my only mission
    1980s reference!
    If it gets a smirk here
    Then I’ve done my work here
    Samurai, “High Five,”
    Gotta run to stay alive,
    Cover tracks, get new bio,
    Blow “the Stacks” for Ohio
    Great Og, birthday bash,
    “Groove zone,” party crash,
    Broken hearts, mermaid fins,
    Oh yeah, R2-D2 spins
    Bootsuit, stink tower,
    ÜberBetty, cold shower,
    Openings to use the can,
    “One hell of a rig, man”
    Zork house, cellar door,
    Labyrinth to explore,
    Any tension is destroyed
    By monsters you can just avoid
    1980s reference!
    Hope you’re not begrudging
    My incessant nudging
    1980s reference!
    You’re no longer grinning
    Is your patience thinning?
    Blade Runner, armed guards,
    Writing action scenes is hard,
    John Woo, Chow Yun Fat,
    Why not just imagine that?
    Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee,
    Neil Peart, Crystal Key
    Guitar hidden in the ground
    (Yes, that’s how his name should sound)
    Drop cops, cyber bums,
    Dude with software in his plums,
    When this guy wants to log off
    He has to turn his head and cough
    1980s reference!
    So sometimes I pander
    Do you have to slander?
    1980s reference!
    Come on, don’t diminish it
    Until you finish it
    Hard time, wage slave,
    Prison break, close shave
    Sweet freedom, fresh air,
    Almost spent a week in there!
    Rent a haptic rig ‘til dawn
    (Just don’t turn a black light on)
    Ogden Morrow, Rivendell,
    Aech has come out of her shell
    Big battle, final test,
    Laser-shooting metal breasts
    Johnny Fives, robo-knives
    Cataclyst, extra lives
    Wade wins, he’s the king
    Money will fix everything
    First kiss, fade to black
    Can I get my pages back?
    1980s reference!
    Look, this isn’t Shakespeare
    So just pump your brakes here
    1980s reference!
    It’s just a paperback
    So could you cut some slack, some slack, some slack, some slack...
    1980s reference!
    It was “hire an editor”
    Or “pay my creditors”
    1980s reference!
    You should have read the versions
    With the ALF discursions
    1980s reference!
    Didn’t make you buy it
    I don’t want a riot
    1980s reference!
    There’s no need for violence
    Could we have have some silence?
    1980s reference!
    You want some merch, perhaps?
    I have these baseball caps
    1980s reference!
    Take a shirt or twenty
    Spielberg gave me plenty...
    1980s reference!

    Just letting the writer/singer know that this was absolutely hilarious and perfect. I especially lost my shit for the "Artemis is blowing kisses but she could be Chuck". Perfect rhyme, perfect podcast reference.

    Just started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago - this has to be the single greatest thing to come out of cline's work. I don't care what he does, it's not going to beat this.

    I was laughing, then crying, then both. This is art

    Okay I still come back for this every now and then and another thing I love is how it starts as a "fan song", or if someone doesn't know about 372 pages and are RP1 fans could probably enjoy this until they're hit with the ending

    I sing this to myself so often, but it's so specific to explain to people. Love it.
