Fund Me Now by Robert Wynne (from an idea by Dan Reitman) Music: "Hold Me Now" by The Thompson Twins © 2000 I have an idea A surefire scheme A vision of making a few million off of technology dreams There's just one problem I don't have the cash If I could just find some investors I'm sure we'd be rich in a flash Oh-oh, fund me nowYou say I'm a dreamer We're a dozen a dime But this one's a sure thing, I promise we'll turn out A profit this time We'll create us a new firm That will draw in the dough All we need is that first little push to get started Can you make us go? (chorus)You ask for the numbers What's our business plan But those are just details, and don't you agree Our idea is just grand We're not asking for billions Just a few million bucks You'll make it all back in the end, all we need is a whole lot of luck (chorus)
Someone on rec.music.filk posted a filk of the Thompson Twin's "Doctor, Doctor" titled "Dotcom, Dotcom", and Dan Reitman suggested someone should write "Fund Me Now" to this tune. I picked it up and ran with it. One of my favourite performances of this song was the first time I played it for my friend Robert Cooke, who writes grants for a living and actually gets to listen to just this sort of pitch every week. I've never seen someone laugh so hard at a song in my life.
