Poing is a gabber track by the Rotterdam Termination Source released by Rotterdam Records in 1992. The song, composed by Maurice Steenbergen and Danny Scholte, featured a minimalist approach: during the whole length of the track a distinctive pounding beat with a "poing" sound can be heard. The track topped the charts in the Netherlands and Denmark. It reached number 27 in the UK chart in November 1992.
The English football team West Bromwich Albion F.C.'s "Boing Boing" crowd chant, is reportedly based on this track.
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.

Song, LLC was a low-cost air service within an airline brand owned and operated by Delta Air Lines from 2003 to 2006.
Song's main focus was on leisure traffic between the northeastern United States and Florida, a market where it competed with JetBlue Airways. It also operated flights between Florida and the West Coast, and from the Northeast to the west coast.
Song's aircraft were fitted with leather seats and free personal entertainment systems at every seat, with audio MP3 programmable selections, trivia games that could be played against other passengers, a flight tracker, and satellite television (provided by the DISH Network). Song offered free beverages, but charged for meals and liquor. Both brand-name snack boxes and healthy organic meals were offered. The flight safety instructions were sung or otherwise artistically interpreted, depending on the cabin crew. In addition to crew uniforms designed by Kate Spade, customized cocktails created by nightlife impresario Rande Gerber and an in-flight exercise program designed by New York City fitness guru David Barton, the airline created its own distinct mark in the industry. The Song brand was placed on more than 200 flights a day which carried over ten million passengers.
Poing is a community in the Upper Bavarian district of Ebersberg, lying 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of central Munich.
Poing is approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) NE of Munich and is serviced by the Munich S-Bahn (S2) and MVV Bus systems. Poing has two constituent communities named Angelbrechting and Grub. Poing is bordered on the east by Anzing and Markt Schwaben, Pliening in the North, Kirchheim to the West and Parsdorf to the South.
It is believed that Poing has been settled for more than 5,000 years. The ending on the community’s name suggests a Celtic origin.
Over the last few decades, Poing has developed rapidly from a small village into the second biggest community in the S-Bahn line 2 (S2) area (up to Erding) and into the second biggest community in Ebersberg after Vaterstetten. In 2006, it overtook the once dominant neighboring community of Kirchheim. The sharp rise in population is due to the many new building projects in the northern area of the city, to which no end is yet foreseen. Therefore, even more development projects are expected.
Poing is a freeware computer game, made by Paul Van der Valk, and released on the Amiga in 1992. It is a variant of the arcade games Breakout and Arkanoid but is presented in a horizontal orientation similar to the 8 bit computer game Krakout.
The game is divided into stages, each containing a number of levels. Each level consists of a rectangular playing area, which contains an arrangement of blocks. The levels appear in a random order each game. In later versions this feature became optional.
In each level, the player controls a simple paddle, which is positioned on the left side of the playing area and can be moved up or down. The player uses the paddle to deflect strategically a ball, which can damage or destroy blocks on contact.
To complete a level, the right-hand wall of the playing area must be hit by the ball a number of times to break it, and then the ball must pass through the right-hand side, taking it to the next level. A 'Force' bar in the corner of the screen indicates the number of hits required. At the start of each level the wall needs to be hit 10 times, but powerups can damage or recover the wall.
