When I was in summer camp, some of the kids were bringing handheld computer games, and I proposed starting a “computer game club.” I wrote a club song:

Oh, what is the game we love?
What game are we extra fond of?
It’s not a commuter train–
it’s a computer game
when you hear beep, beep, beep, beep.

(What else rhymes with “computer game?” I know 25 years later that “commuter train” doesn’t really make sense there.)

In any case, I’m happy to see that Bert’s Association lives on the web. Heck, I still crack up every time I see Bert sway with the podium!
