You Gotta' Fight For Your Life in EDA

August 2, 2009

Atrenta’s Mike Mercado and Magma’s  Pedro Trevino, singing as the EDA Boyz at the Denali Night Live! party, won the EDA Idol competition this year. Now Denali’s Jeanette Zelaya has posted the lyrics, which are based on the Beastie Boys (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party). If like me you’re not familiar with this particular artistic effort, YouTube has it here. I’ve copied the EDA Boyz’ lyrics here because they’re too cool not to do so:

 

 

Fight for your life in EDA – The EDA Boyz

 

Ki-ck IT !

You wake up late for a DEMO Man you don’t want to GO!

You ask your boss, Pl-ease, but h-e still says NO!

The Latest code’s crashin’ and it just won’t Work

Now John Cooley’s writin’ ‘bout you like you’re some kinda Jerk!

 

You got to fi-ght

for your LIFE

in EEE-D-A

 

You-r Boss caught you discount-ing and he said NO WAY!

Tha-t Cadence sales guy just gav-e it aw-ay

Ma-n, selling in my region is such a dra-g

Customers are broke and my forecasts a swag

- Busted!

 

You got to fi-ght

for your LIFE

in EEE-D-A

 

You got to fight…

 

Don’t step out of this office if there’s bugs in da softWARE

I’ll kick you out of sales and put you in Cust-omer Care!

Synopsys’ bust’n and said What’s that noise?

Aw, Mentor you’re jus-t jealous, Its the E-D-A Boys!

 

You got to fi-ght

for your LIFE

in EEE-D-A

 

You got to fi-ght

for your LIFE

in EEE-D-A

 

P-A-R-T-Y !

P-A-R-T-Y!

Steve - Thanks for the props, Mike and I had a blast doing this. With all the downturn news and events happening in the EDA / Semi industry, a little humor was needed to put things in prespective. Thanks Again!

Sadly, white Jewish Buddhist rapper and Beastie Boys' founding member Adam Yauchs (aka MCA) informed fans recently, on July 20th, that he is being treated for cancer. www.clashmusic.com/news/beastie-boys-cancer-announcement Yauchs is also the founder of film and recording studio Oscilloscope Laboratories where no R&D whatsoever is performed on electronic test equipment. www.oscilloscope.net
