_(Sung to the tune of [Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Karn Evil 9 – 1st Impression (Part 2)](http://youtube.com/watch?v=FvhjgQvvK18)“)_

Welcome back my friends

To the show that never ends

We’re so glad you could attend

Come inside, come inside

Samsung has a chip

Actually, it’s multi-chip

It’s for cellphones and it is

4GB in size

128MB of RAM

256MB also on hand

All inside a cellphone’s bland

case and working deep inside

4GB for your music, media

Also for some other data

No need for

external storage anymore

One more thing, you have gotta see

This chip is called “moviMCP”

Yeah, it’s technology!

No MMC!

No SD!

Just all memory!

Can’t you see?

::insert six minute synth solo::

Full-scale production

Is always lots of fun

So by two thousand and nine

That’s the time, that’s the time

Competing with iPhone

That’s a big no, no, no, no

Apple will blast you right back home

All alone, all alone

Freeing up space

Better case design

Samsung is manufacturing

Something really fine!

Yeah moviMCP!

It’s the chip to be!

Plenty of memory!

4GB! Can’t you see?

Did I mention the MB?

256, 128, no MMC!

Come and see the show!
