01/17/2005 Archived Entry: "Helland's Bye, Bye to Mr. CIO Guy"

I know this has been floating around the blogosphere for some while but I just stumbled over it today. Bye, Bye to Mr. CIO Guy by Pat Helland sung to the tune of Bye, Bye Miss American Pie. The song's context: "The lyrics were written by Pat in response to Nicholas Carr’s Harvard Business Review paper 'IT Doesn’t Matter' in which Mr. Carr proposes that businesses reconsider their IT investments. Pat says this is not the vision he sees for the future, but rather what is implied by reducing the investment in IT as proposed by Mr. Carr. This is a 'speculative retrospective' in which we examine what happened 'The Day That IT Died'. "
