On the internet you will find it
As the standards group defined it
It’s the error we all abhor
404! 404! 404!
A file or page is missing
And it makes me feel like dissing
“Your site design’s pretty poor –
404! 404! 404!”
If you set up your server right
Then you won’t show this error again
And your message will be polite
Like 301 or 410!
My x-rated links aren’t working
To the sites I’m often lurking
And those gambling sites offshore
404! 404! 404!

From Wikipedia: "A 404 error is often returned when pages have been moved or deleted. In the first case, a better response is to return a 301 Moved Permanently response, which can be configured in most server configuration files, or through URL rewriting; in the second case, a 410 Gone should be returned."

You *are* good... clever and very funny 'geek' humor.... 555 for 404
Very well constructed.
I think this is probably my favourite of the many 404 parodies so far - I've just written a "helpful" one, myself, and recognized your quote from the wiki page (which is still open in the background).
Thanks Ann, TJC, John, and Phil.
Excellent, Rex. This is my favorite 404 parody thus far as well. =)
Lawl, I gave it a 4-0-4 :P It's a great song but I just voted 4-0-4 to fool around :P
Heh...I don't know if the song would've been funny alone, but having it actually redirected from a real 404 error was clever. Anyway, I happened to see it near Christmas too.
