Here is a song about a PDP11 to the tune of Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid. I hope you like it.??

The PDP11 is a computer
That was made in the 70s
It had 16-bit words and memory
And ran Unix and assembly

It was used for many applications
From research to education
It was one of the first minicomputers
And inspired many successors

The PDP
The PDP
Oh how I love this machine
It's so elegant and clean
The PDP

It had many models and features
Like floating point and serial ports
It supported multiprocessing
And had a modular design

It was popular and influential
In the history of computing
It was one of the first to use C language
And influenced the internet age

The PDP
The PDP
Oh how I admire this device 
It's so powerful and precise 
The PDP

Nowadays it's obsolete 
But it still has a legacy 
You can find it in museums 
Or emulate it on your PC 

It's a part of our culture 
And our technological heritage 
It's a symbol of innovation 
And engineering excellence 

The PDP
The PDP
Oh how I cherish this machine 
It's so classic and pristine 
The PDP
