They say you can learn from history, well I certainly hope so in this case.

So I was digging through some old CD's this week - yes CD's (harder than you think as finding a CD player is not easy).

As I ventured into the past I came across this gem, shining like a shiny thing.

"THE CHECKPOINT SONG"

According to a quick google search this magnificent creation could actually be the work of the devil and has caused numerous:

• Homicides
• Nervous breakdowns
• Injuries due to beating your head with a monitor to make it stop *
• Silent screams of pain

* By this I mean a real monitor - at least 19" and with a tube not LCD/LED. Where a monitor is not available any laptop will do - no tablets.

Release circa 2003 to a bemused world, I remember it being played at a conference I was at to stunned silence, it has long since slipped into obscurity. But now I have the pleasure to digitally resurrect this artifact.

In case you want to learn the lyrics and who wouldn’t (I dare you to scroll down) here they are:
