New York Times article (link above) features video of Grannies singing in front of Dinkenspiel Hall at Stanford University on the historic occasion of the assembly of all 5 members of the Federal Communications Commission at Stanford University on April 17, 2008 CHANTS Fiddle De Dum Fiddle De Dee We want internet that's free Comcast Only WANTS big bucks Raging Grannies say that... ISN'T VERY NICE! Comcast, Pando Rich and Rude We don't like your attitude Your "bill of rights" is just a scam the People have a Bet-ter plan **FCC REGULATION!** G-U-I-L-T-Y COMCAST has NO alibi They're Guilty, They're Guilty Big Telecom is Guilty! What has Comcast got to hide? They had SEAT-warmers inside! Stacked the deck, told some lies Grannies say, APOLOGIZE Inspired by previous hearing at Harvard U. in Feb '08 when Comcast blocked the public from attending the open hearing SONGS Oh My Darlin' FCC tune: Clementine Can the chickens in the henhouse All be guarded by the fox Every farmer knows it WON'T do and the HEN house needs a lock So when Comcast says "just trust us" We all know it's just a stall The FCC must do its duty and proTECT ac-cess for all Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling FCC Keep computers safe from foxes Don't let Comcast mess with me~ (More songs in Part II)
