a new and improved "Free software song"

I found an updated version of the "Free software song" today. This time it is performed in a heavy-metal style, by Jono Bacon. Many might not know that Jono Bacon is top brass community manager at canonical inc. Canonical is the company started by Mark Shuttleworth, to produce the Ubuntu/Linux Free & open-source Operating system. I hope this updated song serves to inspire our generation to use FOSS(free & open-source software), as the practical, and moral choice of our generation.

I found the "Free Software Song" a while back and I loved the lyrics, but did not like the style of presentation. The Lyrics were written by Richard M. Stallman. Also Known in the computer industry as RMS. Richard Stallman was the creator of the GNU license, emacs text editor, and is a radical freedom fighter for the freedom's of software.
  So I Hope these Lyrics resonate in the <3's and brilliant mind's of my group members.

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Hoarders may get piles of money,
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.

When we have enough free software
At our call, hackers, at our call,
We'll throw out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.

Here is a link to the original band the "GNU/Stallmans" singing the original song on youtube.
