Larry Ellison is purchasing virtually the entire island of Lanai, Hawaii. How amazing, how opulent.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve written a special song for the occasion \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cEllison\u2019s Island\u201d
\n(sing to the tune of \u201cGilligan\u2019s Island\u201d)<\/p>\n
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
\nA tale of Larry\u2019s trip
\nThat started toward Lanai
\nAboard his massive ship.<\/p>\n
Our Larry was a mighty wealthy man
\nHis future brave and sure
\nLarry set his sights that day
\nFor a pre-purchase tour, a pre-purchase tour.<\/p>\n
The negotiating started getting rough
\nTwo percent didn\u2019t change hands
\nIf not for the bullheaded Dave Murdock
\nHe\u2019d have the whole island, he\u2019d have the whole island.<\/p>\n
Corporate headquarters moved to this expensive desert isle
\nWith Larry
\nMark Hurd too
\nSome Sun servers and some tapes
\nAn ODA
\nExadata and Tom Kyte
\nHere on Ellison\u2019s Isle.<\/p>\n
So this is the tale of the headquarters
\nIt\u2019s here for a long, long time
\nThey’ll have the very best of things
\nIt’s not an uphill climb.<\/p>\n
No IBM or Microsoft
\nOr Itanium chips lest
\nIt make Mr. Larry uncomfortable
\nIn the tropic island nest.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s golf! There\u2019s mansions! There\u2019s motor cars!
\nEv\u2019ry possible luxury,
\nLike rich old Donald Trump,
\nAs blinged-out as can be.<\/p>\n
So join us here each week my friends
\nYou’re sure to get a smile
\nFrom Oracle corporate headquarters
\nHere on “Ellison’s Isle.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
