It is now already a tradition that some guys at the university of Austin, Texas release a GIS related song on GIS day. This year the song is titled Tied together (with GIS) and is adapted from “Come together” by the Beatles
They started back in 2007 with G-I-Yes and Map of the world as we know it (2008).
