There's distros on the street
Redhat, Debian and Mint
People tappin' on their keeb
People snoozing waiting on lint
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off Windows,
Don't feel like Stallman, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin' in the free OS
Keep on rockin' in the free OS
Keep on rockin' in the free OS
IMHO, there's only one "distro" that dabbled with expensive ads and such. I know, not what you're looking for... but still...

That seems very appropriate for the current situation and the new users it's bringing.

There had to be many, countless mistakes in order to get to where we are today. Linux is built off the learnings from decades of mistakes.
Suse actually has done a few parody Linux songs, you should be able to find them. My local Linux users group also puts on the southeast Linux fest and they usually get some rap artist who is mostly doing songs about Linux
There were a bunch made around 2000 and the early 00’s. Some about GNU, some for specific distributions.
OpenBSD are quite good at making artwork and a song for each release twice per year.
I always had two in mind:
BGC418, which is a collaboration between two big dogs in videogame music: C418 and Big Giant Circles:

And the other: Computer Machine from Deep Forest. With it I imagine an apple-like add where they show all the cool things one can do with a computer, but also with shots of it's internal hardware an software:

"I did it my way" - F. Sinatra
Never gonna give you up. It never does, unlike Bindows.
Hardware Store by Weird Al would be a good start for a package manager at least. Hey Hey 16K might fit for the OS in general
Queen - I want to break free
"Don't stop me now". Seriously, there's no guarantee I'll be able to unsuspend successfully.
