Chauncey fought the Oracle, he knew that it was chancey,
Cause you ASCII stupid question and you'll get a stupid ANSI.

Its web site describes "NetHack" - a Parody Song by Rob Balder dot com as a parody of the Butthole Surfers' "Pepper". The lyrics describe repeated YASDs as players search for the Amulet of Yendor.
