text: Yo, in 2003, DNA barcoding was the dream,
  Then in 2004, Barcode of Life hit the scene,
  They got that funding, over 80 million stacks,
  Now we 'bout to investigate, how many species are tagged.
  
  We check the numbers, two databases in sight,
  GenBank and BOLD, let's see who's got it right,
  GenBank got COI, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1,
  They got around 60,000 species, but that's not all the fun.
  
  BOLD reports 150,000 species in their zone,
  But the difference is due to unpublished data that's unknown,
  Species coverage is sparse, growth rates stay low,
  Only 4,788 added in 2011, yo.
  
  Now here's a surprise, listen close to this fact,
  73% of species in GenBank ain't part of the DNA barcoding act,
  Projects unrelated, they barcode 'em too,
  It's wild, but that's the way it flew.
  
  Jan 2012, 74% of barcodes were in the dark,
  Insects only identified by their order, not the mark,
  NCBI had to suppress 'em, they didn't meet the release,
  iBOL/GenBank agreement, they didn't bring the peace.
  
  Some target taxa got better coverage, let it be known,
  Birds, fishes, Lepidoptera, they got that barcoding zone,
  But even then, they fall short of campaign goals,
  The game ain't over yet, it's just one of the tolls.
