Verity's summer songs for programmers: Sing your pals to sleep()

Summer

"What better way to dispel the rainy gloom of an English summer,

It's working quite well it seems, and also across the North Sea.

Summertime

BST

and the coding is sweaty

The boss is jumpin'

and the stress level's high

Your client's impatient

and the code is spaghetti

So please little process

don't you die

One of these mornings

You're gonna stop dumping

Then you'll spawn your sub-processes

and be ready to fly

But 'til that morning

I'll just keep on hacking

and maybe the deadline won't pass me by

[ with sincerest apologies to George Gershwin ]

The Ebay Song by Wierd Al Yankovitch is my favourite

In memory of Steve Ballmer

To the tune of L. Cohen - Hallelujah)

Now I heard there was a secret code.

That a monkey typed and it pissed the Lord.

But you dont really care for good code do ya.

He typed and he flailed

Till the compiler failed

He smashed his screen and he threw his chair

and the stressed out Steve he cried out loud

I hate computers , I hate computers,

I hate computers , I hate computers.........
