Help write the lyrics to “Give PNG a chance”

September 3rd, 2009. Tagged: Fun, images, Music, Web1.0

As you know yours truly is a guitar hero wannabe. So I'm playing with the idea of recording a song/video called "Give PiNG a Chance", cover of "Give peace a chance". Hopefully whoever hears it will then think twice before saving a GIF instead of PNG. Imagine. And the web will be as one... 😀

Here's the lyrics so far, it's a work-in-progress. If anyone can think of rhyming Web 2.0 buzzwords, please comment.
