The TLD Song

June 18, 2012 by Michele Neylon

Amusing..

From the description:

 ICANN’s top level domain expansion scheme can be called a lot of things: expensive, deceptive, exploitive, extortive, enraging, confusing, embarrassing, and more … but when you actually look at the massive, rather insane list of TLD applications submitted so far, I’m forced to admit that ICANN’s plan can also be called … entertaining. And so, with apologies to the great Tom Lehrer and his “Elements” song, and of course to Gilbert and Sullivan and their “Major-General’s Song” from the “Pirates of Penzanze,” I offer … “The TLD Song.” Lyrics and more information at Lauren’s Blog
