EIEIO

EIEIO definition - telecom
The chorus of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which has nothing to do with telecommunications, unless perhaps Old MacDonald had a telephone on the farm. The song mentions only a chick (cluck-cluck), cow (moo-moo), duck (quack-quack), pig (oink-oink), horse (neigh-neigh), and various other barnyard animals. It would be easy enough, however, to equip Old MacDonald with a telephone with a ring-ring here and a ring-ring there.Those who use cell phones and downloadable ring tones are advised to sing another song.
