Revolutionary or a populist guy?
The people love Chavez and I understand why
Stabilised the economy but messed around with their clocks
And that one knocked off of my socks:
Come on and rock me Venezuela.
Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela.
Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela.
Venezuela, Venezuela, Venezuela.
Oh oh oh Venezuela.

In the run-up to Y2K there was no shortage of doomsayers. Systems would shut down. Banking software would go tits up and fortunes, if not lost, would be reduced to their 1900 or 1970 values. Planes would drop out of the sky. Software everywhere would crash.

And then came January 1, 2000. The world didn't end. It wasn't even thrown back into the stone age. Planes didn't fall from the sky. Systems didn't shut down. Banking software kept working. The worst problems most of us saw were nuisances, dates like "January 4, 19100" and old calendar apps mistakenly adding a February 29th to the year. The doomsayers disappeared and the IT industry was mocked by a flood of fuckwits chiding us for having made such a big deal about Y2K.

But for the alarms three years prior, it could've gone very differently.
