Nah, RFA song is fine. It will go great with the replacement of the
foundation logo with Wikipetan.

Since the Free Software Song is based on a Bulgarian folk song ([[Sadi
Moma]]) it might be perceived as too educational by the majority of
the (English speaking) callers. Next you'll be suggesting that we take
the lead paragraphs from Spoken Wikipedia articles
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spoken_Wikipedia)
and adding "To learn more about X see visit Wikipedia"... What do you
think we are? An encyclopedia?
