Impossible de résister à l’immense plaisir de vous faire partager cette petite merveille.
Les W.C.A.G. 2.0 sont sorties avant Noël mais le vrai cadeau était à venir. Lorsque je parle d’accessibilité – hors du monde des spécialistes – on me regarde souvent avec une moue interrogative, si j’ai le malheur d’aborder deux secondes les techniques liées à l’accessibilité numérique, c’est « sauve qui peut… ».
Alors profitez du nouvel hymne des W.C.A.G. entièrement produit, réalisé, enregistré, joué par David MacDonald. Quatre minutes en rythme sur les nouvelles spécifications. Pour tous !!
Un grand merci à David MacDonald…
Pour ceux qui aurait besoin d’un peu plus d’informations ou qui n’ont pas la possibilité de lire le clip, j’ai trouvé sur le site d’E-ramp (http://www.eramp.com/wcag_theme_song.htm) les paroles de l’hymne.
Il est également possible de télécharger la version MP3 du titre à partir du site E-Ramp
We want to show you the WCAG
By David MacDonald © 2005-2008
Intro by « Sharky » the ScreenReader: [Spoken]
Sharky: « W-C-A-G, WCAG, I’m a cool DJ, SHARKY, SH-SH-SH-SHARKY, Hey I’m going crazy with this cool beat, I have much better rythym since you installed that new quantizing program. Do you want to dance?
David: No Sharky, we’ve got to get going on this song, you can dance while I sing but don’t pull yourself out of the wall socket again.
[Singing]
we’re gonna to write a new specification
it’s gonna work with the tool of verification
make the accessible
gonna make it testable
WCAG, WCAG
gonna make the web understandable
make it perceivable write it tangible
when its interoperable
the web will be unstoppable
WCAG, WCAG
We wanna show you the WCAG
We wanna show you what this world can be
We wanna show you the WCAG
It’s not a heavy load
to open up your code
and write the WCAG, WCAG
[Spoken]
Sharky: Hey David, I heard a guy on TV say that he’s the fastest rapper in the world, but I blow him away, watch this…[Sharky raps at 250 words a minute, then back to normal speed]…I’m a cool DJ, Sharky, WCAG…How’s that David, am I a cool rapper now?
David: Sharky, I couldn’t understand a word you said.
Sharky: Most of my blind friends understand everything when I speak at that speed, would … you… like… me…to…speak…really…slow…for…you…David?
David: Very funny, c’mon let’s do this verse.
[Singing]
We’re gonna make the web a better place
For every ability and every race
Even if you’re surfing from outer space
you’ve got the WCAG, WCAG
Repeat Chorus
David Raps (uhh sort of):
So let me tell you what the WCAG is
And what the WCAG’s not
The WCAG is a set of tools
Comes with a set of rules
Helps your web site
Come to life
For people with other abilities
And sensabilities
So when they hit you online
They can have a good time
Don’t matter if they’re blind
Or if they have to sign
Or if their hands start to shake
With every move they make
They can easily figure out
What you are talking about
When you follow the principles that we’re gonna lay out
Sharky:
Principle 1: Content must be Perceivable
Principle 2: Content and controls must be Understandable
Principle 3: Interface elements in the content must by Operable
Principle 4: Content must be Robust, enough to work with current and future technologies
[spoken]
Sharky: Hey David, your music is much more funky since you moved out of the suburbs and started hanging out downtown on street corners. I like the other theme song but it sounded a bit too unplugged and I’ve never been crazy about an unplugged sound, I like techno geek music where computers do everything and humans don’t play any instruments. Ithink it is a lot more organic when music is played buy genuine computers. When humans play it sounds so unemotionable and fake.
David: We’ll that’s just because you’re a bunch of ones and zeros there big guy.
Sharky: David, that was very mean of you to say that, you know I’ve always been very sensitive out my binary genetic coding, it’s always been a source of great emotional insecurity for me.
David: Oh, c’mon Sharky, you know I love you man, and besides, you are an awesome rapper, man you should go into American Idol.
Sharky: I’m going to be a star, I can see the headlines now, Sharky wins American Idol for people with disabilities.
