I haven't had this much fun listening to hardcore in years
Some friends of a friend of mine have started a band call Powerpoint.
Classic youth crew hardcore.
Except every song is about professional life in the office.
This shit is fucking hilarious.
Their 'Mission Statement' EP includes tracks like 'One Click Away', 'Powerlunch', 'What's the Point (Powerpoint!)', and 'Get Out Of My Office'.
No Myspace page yet, but they just made their first video for the song 'Microsoft Powerpoint'... in Powerpoint, of course!

ONE CLICK AWAY
(verse)
Standing strong and staying true
In my heart I know it’s all I can do
I’ve got to see inside what’s real
If I’m going to close the McLellan deal
Come in early and staying late
Thinking out of the box and thinking straight!
Christmas bonus just one sale away
Company match my 401K
(chorus)
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
(verse)
Looking back, I remember when
Making coffee, sorting the mail bin
But now I’m on top, holding onto my pride
With a Pentium 3, and Intel inside
Color the background, Navy and white
Sales forecast bullets fly in from right
Making my point, staying on track
(gang vocals-) Format -> Font -> Gill Sans Extra Black!!!!!
(chorus)
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
One click – AWAY!
DO YOU FUCKING GET IT???
(talking part)
You know, there are a lot of people out there who are afraid to stay late and close the deal. When society tells us that it’s 5:59 and it’s time to
shut down My Computer, there are still those of us out there who care. It’s time to make a change, time to put in the extra effort to get to the top.
We can do this as long as we have a biweekly status meeting and start to work TOGETHER!!!!
(big breakdown dance part)
(gang vocals)
One click – AWAY!

DARE TO SOAR
(verse)
I remember a time when we all stood together
One crew, one goal - to stay true forever
Never looking down, we ran together AS ONE
Writing monthly reports, rollerblading, always having fun
But now those times have changed, and people are leaving the scene
Parking spaces are empty, cubicles are clean
I’ve gotta find a new way to rise back to the top
Staying positive, targeting in on the audience, not gonna ever stop
In a highly competitive marketplace, there are still those of us who care
And when the chips are down, I’m ready to take the dare...
Go!
(chorus)
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
(verse)
Sales are up from last quarter, and we won’t stop ‘till we’re done
Leading the pack this fiscal, we’re hitting a home run
We’re now strategically placed to grab a significant piece of the market
I don’t really know what that means and nothing rhymes with market
We’ve got the tools, skills and people to promote growth in a positive way
Steady cash flow is the key, and a healthy 401K
In a highly competitive marketplace, there are still those of us who care
And when the chips are down, I’m ready to take the dare...
(chorus)
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
AND I’M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
(repeat chorus)
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
DARE! TO! SOAR!
AND I’M NOT GONNA FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
I’m ready to take the dare...
DARE TO SOAR!

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
Through the screen I see the light
My calendar tells me whats day and night
meetings, goals, emails inside
Little paperclip guy I just cant hide
But that's me, that's the way i live
My Outlook online is positive-ly awesome
IT'S!
MY!
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK!
IT'S!
MY!
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK! online!
So why should I minimize
and have my window not showing
when my inbox is not just full but fucking overflowing
But that's me, that's the way i live
My Outlook online is positive-ly fucking awesome
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Oh my, this is some funny shit.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
