RFID hackers' anthem to the tune of YMCA

Cory Doctorow 5:39 am Mon Jan 8, 2007

The maniacs at Monochrom — Vienna's whacky net-art collective — have written and recorded an anthem for RFID hackers, to the tune of The Village Peoples' YMCA. You have to listen to the MP3s — I was actually howling with laughter. Seriously. Sheer brilliance.

Comrades, you don't know what I mean?
Well comrades, there's new tech on the scene
Come on comrades, stand up fight for your right
There's a need for your experience

It's fun to hack the RFID
It's fun to hack the RFID
Technology is just a matter of choice
You can microwave all their toys
