+I ran across this CD-ROM while cleaning out some old boxes of SGI software. It
+contains promotional songs that accompanied the [SGI
+Octane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_Octane) launch circa 1997(ish).
+
+Since the only other links I see online appear to be dead, I will preserve the
+songs here as a lesson to future generations. Take heed: when your workstations cost five
+figures, weird marketing isn't a substitute for performance.
+
+With that out of the way, enjoy some UNIX workstation marketing music from a
+more light-hearted time in computing history. And don't worry, the album cover
+clearly notes, "WARNING: Explicit lyrics do not play backwards."

+For anyone doubting the pure artistry on display in this musical marketing
+masterpiece, peruse some sample lyrics.
+
+**Knee Deep In 3D:**
+
+ I can texture and convolute.
+ I'm gonna rotate and spin.
+ These graphics so damn realistic,
+ Oh I think it's a sin.
+
+ Now I'm seeing virtual reality,
+ Is it liquor or is it truth?
+ Am I seeing advanced 3D graphics,
+ Or just too much vermouth?
+
+**I Have A Dream:**
+
+ I have a dream and it's two CPUs.
+ What this will mean, is no more desktop blues.
+ Modeling and rendering, designing, analyzing, just pick any two.
+ I have one dream and it's two CPUs.
+
+ I have a dream and it's called a crossbar switch.
+ What this will mean is no big data glitch.
+ Peer-to-peer, have no fear, get data in and out of here,
+ just with the flip of a switch.
+ I have a dream and it's called a crossbar switch.
+
+**OCTANE Swing:**
+
+ Octane, we're gonna rocktane.
+ But this thing called Octane, it swings with performance.
+ Octane, competition is inshocktane.
+ But this thing called Octane, it swings with performance.
+
+ You don't need a hero,
+ You don't need any myth.
+ What you need is some action,
+ So get a load of this.
+
+ You don't wanna be mediocore,
+ Not just run of the mill,
+ Some computer hacking joker,
+ Baby grab that thrill.
