Lookout Death Row Records, here comes a new hit, the Cisco NetFlow Rap song

Lyrics of the Cisco NetFlow Rap song.

By Brad Reese on Thu, 03/26/09 - 1:45pm.

Mix Master Mitch Wilson - a sales engineer for network performance measuring vendor Plixer International, has written and performed a hilariously funny hip-hop rap masterpiece, the Cisco NetFlow Rap, that you can now enjoy by watching the video below:


Lyrics of the Cisco NetFlow Rap song:

Workin’ in IT’s a breeze
Got my chair back, feet up, crossing my knees (cuz I’m feelin’ it)
Got the collector running data, it’s reelin’ it
Writing data to mySQL, there’s no sense concealing it

Big MacBecause I got it Scrutinized
A Big Mac, super sized
Just spent 9 grand, now all my NetFlow’s analyzed

Finally realized I needed a tool
Called up the Plixer and they took me to school

Engineer’s on site, and if that wasn’t enough
Even set me up to integrate their stuff with WhatsUp

Tables charts and graphs galore
Signed up for the webinar and learned that there was even more

Now I can run a report
And find out which cohorts are busy building heavy forts on my ports
Check my Top Conversations every single minute
Now when there’s a network battle, instantly I win it

There’s not another tool on the market to top this
I got a group and a flash map for every office
Now when I’m off eating crawfish
An alarm is set off, and I will know, so I can instantly stop this

So go to triple dub dot plixer.com
And download it off the web - don’t need a CD-ROM
So get a demo let them show you the tool
Cuz nobody thinks its cool to be the "I don’t know fool"

Go go to Plixer and they won’t steer you wrong
Then you too could sit back and listen to this song
But if you don’t go, I won’t be held responsible
When you get busted by the network constable

So just download and play today
They even have a free version if you don’t want to pay
Case in point, get your network fixed
And I know just the guy to do it, it’s the plkixey plix

You need this, in any given network today
Don’t know how you’ve been livin’ with no NBA
If every day you fall victim to performance paralysis
I don’t know why you think you don’t need behavior analysis

So if you’re waitin’, procrastinatin’, hesitatin’, and tool debatin’
You can escape from the fake statement you’re statin’ and makin’
It’s frustrating, making mistakes, because you’re pacin’ and waitin’
For the boss to stop flaking, wake up and stop the budget breaking

So many vowel sounds that now my head is aching
May fall off because it’s loose, just like the feet of Kevin Bacon
But back to the track and the point that I was makin’
Hold up, there’s a phone call that I’m about to be takin’

(hello)

There’s a radio station, somebody listens to it

But there’s an issue because there’s not enough legit bandwidth
We can resolve this real quick, just ran a report and found out that it’s Chris
Went to his cubicle and said Chris what’s this
The T1 is lit, the boss is pissed and pitching a fit
What’s that? How did we find out about it?
With the Plixer Flow Analytics

I spit this, just like a baby spits spinach
Flow Analytics will finish your decision, due to the features within it
Competition watching - chances of winnin’ business diminish
Like they were presidential running mates of Dennis Kucinich.

Those requesting personal autographs or looking to book his hip-hop rap act, can contact Mix Master Mitch Wilson directly (email mitch@plixer.com, telephone: 207-324-8805 x227).

Believe it or not, Mitch is the only guy in the video, his wife helped slick back his hair for the geek part.

Mix Master Mitch Wilson was an acting major at the University of Connecticut where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. However, after 2 years he realized that a career in technology was more realistic. So he spent a few years learning compliance technology with Ecora Software before settling in at Plixer international as a Sales Engineer.

Mitch helps Plixer customers with pre-sales support as well as the sales process, and as it turns out, he obviously has a hidden passion and talent for hip-hop rap. If you've ever dialed the sales line at Plixer, then you probably have already spoken to Mitch directly.

Don't be shy, let Mitch know if you think he's the next hip-hop rap sensation!


What to you think, is the new Cisco NetFlow Rap song by Mix Master Mitch a new hip-hop rap sensation?

Hiphop "masterpiece"? Hardly

The audio was unideal, his diction was soft, his beat was not fresh at all, and it wasn't all that funny either. Even as raps dealing with technology go, it wasn't all that great. I give him props for attempting but the best rap abput technology still remains Weird Al Yankovic's "It's All About The Pentiums".

Funnier?

poor comparison

Ummm a kid in his basement, vs the greatest parody maker of all time...The fact is both are hilarious in their own element, but they are like apples and oranges.

also if you don't know about netflow you will likely not understand what Mix Master Mitch is talking about. As a network guy I thought it was hilarious. The Weird Al song is more about computers in general. and is able to be understood by a much broader audience.

Over all I think relating the 2 is a poor comparison. different technologies, different audiences, and I am pretty sure different Budgets. Hey MMM how much coin did you drop making that anyway, 5 bucks?
