So since the Lotus brand name is dead and/or dying...

It's time for a song to sing it away.  With apologies to Hall & Oates, "Let's play finish the lyrics!"

To the tune of "She's gone"

Everybody's high on social software
Everybody's trying to coll-ab-orate..
Some people are worried about the name Lotus
but it's plain to see, it's still Notes to me

Sorry Yellowsphere for this imposition
I think we've got it, got the strength to carry on....
I need a drink and a DB2 server
Now it's up to me, will my(Can't think of anything here)

Chorus:

Yellow's gone, Oh I, Oh I'd

Better learn how to face it

Yellow's gone, Oh I, Oh I'd

pay Ed Brill not to replace it

Yellow's gone-what went wrong.....

Okay gang, fill in the rest!  Have fun with it!
