Microsoft, the Musical

This is still kicking around my head. Perhaps it should be a podcast? I would need about 3 people interested in voiceover, a couple good singers and some mics.

Songs would include:

"I am the very model of a modern program manager"
(from hms pinafore)
"Keep management away from dev and who cares who gets mad at ya"

"Somehow, somewhere, we'll find a new way of shipping"
(from west side story)
"There's a place for us, perhaps it's Longhorn..."

"VP's lament"
(from guys and dolls)
"In other words, just from wondering whether the project is on or off, a person could develop a cough" [NJ accent required]

Plot is basically, duh, ship a product, but every key role expresses themself in song. Extra points for corny set-ups for bursting into song, like "Gosh that makes me remember..."
