As tradition goes, the Monday after Thanksgiving is known as Cyber Monday. It’s technically a time for e-commerce, and if you want to participate by repping your favorite radio station, you can click here. :D

Cyber Monday also seems like a good time to compile a list of songs that reference computers. It could be lyrics that mention a computer, or even traditional computer sounds mixed into a jam. Let’s step into cyberspace with song!
