One of my co-workers suggested that I should do this old Booker T & the MGs melody. And since he was armed with an ESD gun I though it might be best if I obeyed.

I didn't have a drum machine with a limbo rhythm so I had to programme it myself using the Roland TR-626 programmable drum machine. The problem was that I had forgot how to do it. So I had to do the most embarrassing thing a man can do: Read the manual.
You might notice that the manual looks somewhat water damaged. That is actually a physical memory of how I got it: I was at an outdoor car boot sale - one of those where people load their car boots or trailers with whatever they want to sale and show up. There I was, the rain was pouring down and everything was muddy and wet. I spotted a guy with an open trailer full of things that came from his dead father in law's attick. Amongst the things were an Elka X-30 organ that I wanted but sadly couldn't transport because it was before I got a car. Then suddenly I looked down and saw this TR-626 that had fallen off the trailer and lied face down in the mud. I picked it up and asked what he wanted for it. I got it for 50 dkr (app. 8 US$). It took me a while to get all the mud out of the plugs on the back side and the manual had to spend some days on the heater. But eventually it was all fine - except for the discoloured paper."
