Lyrics

I was coding in the lab late one night
when my eyes beheld an eerie sight 
for my malware threat score began to rise 
and suddenly to my surprise...

It did the Mash 
It did the Malware Mash 
The Malware Mash 
It was a botnet smash 
It did the Mash 
It caught on 'cause of Flash 
The Malware Mash 
It did the Malware Mash

From the Stuxnet worm squirming toward the near east 
to the dark web souqs where the script kiddies feast 
the APTs left their humble abodes 
to get installed from rootkit payloads. 

They did the Mash 
They did the Malware Mash 
The Malware Mash 
It was an adware smash 
They did the Mash 
It caught on 'cause of Flash 
The Malware Mash 
They did the Malware Mash

The botnets were having fun 
The DDoS had just begun 
The viruses hit the darknet, 
with ransomware yet to come. 
The keys were logging, phishing emails abound, 
Snowden on chains, backed by his Russian hounds. 
The Shadow Brokers were about to arrive 
with their vocal group, "The NotPetya Five."

They did the Mash 
They played the Malware Mash
The Malware Mash 
It was a botnet smash 
They did the Mash 
It caught on 'cause of Flash 
The Malware Mash 
They played the Malware Mash

Somewhere in Moscow Vlad's voice did ring 
Seems he was troubled by just one thing. 
He opened a shell then shook his fist 
and said, "Whatever happened to my Turla Trojan twist." 

It's now the Mash 
It's now the Malware Mash 
The Malware Mash 
And it's a botnet smash 
It's now the Mash 
It caught on 'cause of Flash 
The Malware Mash 
It's now the Malware Mash

Now everything's cool, Vlad's a part of the band 
And the Malware Mash is the hit of the land. 
For you, defenders, this mash was meant to 
when you get to my door, tell them Creeper sent you.

Then you can Mash 
Then you can Malware Mash 
The Malware Mash 
And be a botnet smash 
It is the Mash 
Don't you dare download Flash 
The Malware Mash 
Just do the Malware Mash
