The Drupal Song - Remix Tracks
Article by Jeff RobbinsMarch 29, 2007 - 11:03am
Several people have expressed interest in remixing The Drupal Song. And since we're licensing this song under the GPL, we'd like to release the "source" of the song. Attached here is a zip file containing high-quality stereo stem submix MP3s for each of the following:
- bass
- drums
- mallets (marimba, glockenspiel)
- piano
- voc - backups
- voc - lead
Update: The song is at 88 BPM and the tracks all start on the "4" beat. So if you line them up at measure 2, beat 4, the song will start on measure 3, beat 1.
Load 'em up into your favorite (re)mixing software and go to town!

Now we need
CHX to sing the Hungarian vocals...

Yes it's great remix;) thanks for the link!
Please don't it's bad enough already
Please don't release, remix play, or promote this song ever again.
It's awful!
It's like a bad commercial for some crappy plastic made-in-taiwan kid's toy. It's a disgrace to drupal and it's professional community -- Drupal is professional tool, not a toy. I would hate for any of my drupal clients to hear that song.
Surely if we want to market drupal musically, we can do better than that. Let's not lower ourselves to that low musical standard, and let's kill this tune. Pleeeeease!!
This is not a joke. :(
What part of "jingle" don't you understand?
I think it's a fun jingle that sure has a LOT of stickiness. If you'd like to come up with a more businesslike song, you should feel free to do so. Hell, remix this one with a more corporate attitude!
But in the meantime, you'll find that not everyone agrees with you.
frat boys invade!
it's so clear to me now that drupal has been hijacked by a crew of humorless fratboys that want to sit around and tell each other why they are all so great.
This song and the fools that think it qualifies as funny or reasonable marketing represent all that currently sucks about drupal.
I guess it's time to learn python or ruby.
Are you calling us frat boys?
Have you met us?
Geez, you try and sell some cola and look at what it gets you.
Well if we've lost you already, perhaps you could use the following links so your purchases will benefit the Drupal Association:

Jeff, you are trying to talk
Jeff, you are trying to talk with people, which don't subscribe to ubuntu philosophy. Don't do that! :)
Clients have humor...
Actually, I'd hate to have clients that didn't have any sense of humor. The song is not only funny...but semi-professionally done. It's expected to go gold by 2008.
Seriously though, I've never really had clients that orried about what CMS their site is using. Most clients just want a site that works, that is portable, and is easy to use. They could care less the name of the CMS.
Lighten up, Francis...
It is obviously done in the jingle style with tongue-in-cheek and was never meant to be come the official Drupal song - if there even was a legitimate need for such a thing.
The song is a joke though.
The song is a joke though.
I love it
I think the jingle is great. It's lighthearted and very sticky. I'm not a remixer, but I'm interested to see what people do with this. Kudos to Jeff and the gang for putting it out there.
If people want a more "serious" song, take the drupal motto to heart and go do it!
Let Steve Ballmer do some rapping!
Developers, developers, developers, developers;-)
Never mind the bollocks…
Ever notice how insensitive criticism is usually from “anonymous†sources?
And, anyway, what would a “serious†sounding song about a piece of software sound like? Probably like the theme from Enterprise. :-p
Seriously though, Jeff, I think this song is… embarrassingly good. And it’s the best we’re likely to get (until the Drupal Association can commission TMBG to do one.)
Keep the song
It's catchy, fun, and I love it -- it's the very essence of marketing; something which creates instant recall. :)
its wonderfull :)
i havent stopped laughing since i heard it live for the first time at yahoo, and i will be happy to play it for my clients, yeah even force them to hear it if there behind with their payment ;)
This is actually one of the things that do that some of os will travel halfway around the world to be with this wonderful bunch of geegy people.
when will the lullabot theme song come out in the full "Jeff the beat master über dance core 70 funky version" mix?

I'd like the music sheet
Hello, do you have the music sheet for the melody part? the vocals lead? I want to play over it with my harmonica and mix it with al the other tracks except the lead voice (doing a video of me playing the harmonica and adding subtitles)
please contact me on my site 12FREEMUSIC.com

I like the way you took the rhythmic motif from Jeff's laugh at the end.

Mixes
Holy crap guys... those are insanely, horrifyingly brilliant.
jm's vocoder "Drupal dub mix" and Hip Hop Anonymous' "Just say node" are definitely my favorites :). Makes me want to dig out a copy of Fruityloops again.
Fantastic!
These are fantastic, I love the Vocoder Mix and Just Say Node
Keep shaking it.
With a little help from the Large Professor, Dr. Bootybot has remixed this track for your enjoyment. This should prevent the saggy booty pandemic sweeping the internet these days.

I love the efforts that I have heard thus far...

Drupal Song Remix
Awesome!
I think this might be my favorite so far. It's got a guitar solo!
How does one go about
How does one go about putting something like this together? Hardware? Software? Talents?
Nice job.
Hardware: guitar,
Hardware: guitar, bass
Software: Garageband (melodyne to create the vocal harmony by restructuring the melody)
Talents: Knowing how to do the above I suppose.
Funny how people that are
Funny how people that are the more critics don,t have the guts to post their name! anyways...

The drupal song (hebrew localized)
Hi,
My name is Lior and I'm a drupaloholic.
As one of the founders of the drupal community in Israel I just had to supply the hebrew edition!
Here's how it sounds in hebrew.

Ambient-Style Drupal Song Remix
Thanks a lot for providing the Lullabot podcast as well as these song tracks. A good friend of mine, Chad Udell, posted a remix on his blog, and so I decided to follow suit.
Check out my ambient electronic remix of the song.
I had some fun the other day...
And this remix came out of it:
