IT Anthems: Nvidia
Published: 21 Feb 2003 07:14 GMT
Nvidia has an audio chip called nForce, and a sound system called SoundStorm that uses it. It also has a promotional song, which deserves an entry here on grounds of sheer irritation value.
The, um, "lyrics" of this song probably mention a product name more often than any other IT Anthem (so far). The song also has a lot of those incoherent moans and gasps intended to convey female ecstasy -- far more, in fact, than any of our other songs. Obviously the ecstatic-moan-and-gasp metric is a very good indicator of the technical quality of an audio processing unit, and one that our Reviews Channel could adopt in future analysis of audio devices.
Nvidia's site includes a mixer for fans to create their own versions of the song. Unfortunately, the official mixer doesn't allow you to add your own vocals or backing. If anyone fancies doing that anyway by other means, do send us the results to corpanthems@zdnet.co.uk.
Take the world by SoundStorm (MP3)
Lyrics
Yee-eah! Take the world by storm!
SoundStorm! Whoo-o-o-oooooh!
SoundStorm! Eeeee-yeah!
SoundStorm! Whoo-o-o-oooooh!
SoundStorm! Eeeee-yeah!
Music to the ears, hits you right between the eyes
You can see it, you can feel it, you can hear it on the fly
The world was sleeping, and it appeared
It overtakes you, but have no fear!
Power casting beyond any measure
