Someone’s Got Too Much Free Time

Maccessibility points to a great page where David MacDonald has reworked the Village People’s classic “YMCA” into an ode to Web accessibility:

we’re gonna to write a new specification
it’s gonna work with the tool of verification
make it accessible
gonna make it testable
WCAG for you and me
gonna make the web understandable
make it perceivable write it tangible
make it interoperable
you know that we’re unstoppable
WCAG is the place to be
Chorus (To the tune of YMCA)
it’s fun to write the WCAG
it’s fun to write the WCAG
gonna make the internet a better place
for every ability and every race

There’s even an MP3 of the song as performed by a decidedly non-funky piece of screen reading software. Nice touch!
