Songs for developers

Listening to songs, it became an every day thing for most of us. I personally like to listen to songs on the radio in my car when I'm driving. There are thousands, if not millions, of songs out there. People sing for different reasons, there are songs about war, peace, the environment, love (there are a lot of these songs, especially in the Arab world. 99.99% of the Arabic songs talk about love, for some reason, the Arabic singers think that the Arab world has no problems but the love problems.)

The other day I was chatting with a friend of mine, and I came up with this idea; why aren't there any songs for developers, you know, songs that have "code-like" lyrics. I came up with a few song titles, some of which were:

1. Please handle my exceptions.
2. Sorry, I did not test my feelings.
3. Refactor my life, my love.
4. Baby, don't cast my words.
5. I'm swimming in your stream.
6. Don't leave me to the DLL hell.
7. How can I live without my IDE.
8. Threads of my life.
9. Reveal my feelings, reflection is the way.
10. Code your way to my heart.

If you have other ideas for developer’s song titles, post them here, may be we can make a list and convince some one to convert them to real songs (yeah right, we all know that will never happen).

I know, it sounds crazy, that’s why I created a new category for my crazy ideas. I have a lot of them. :P

There is nothing called Developer's song, your immagination in creating things have caused some serious damage to your vision.

Looking forward to share ideas and thoughts about it.

Thanks for the invitation guys, but the thing is that I am not done yet with different technologies.I contrive to be a good developer but without being a crazy coding guy :), you just need to learn properly ( a proper way) and have the appropriate materials to do it and I am well into this.

i liked these quotes ...

-Computer analyst to programmer: "You start coding. I'll go find out what they want."

-The programmer's national anthem is 'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH'!!!!!!!

-If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. "Good one!"

-Programming is an art form that fights back.
My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Good ones Aiman. One that I like so much is,

Any programmer can write code that a computer can understand. A good programmer is one who writes code that other programmers can understand.

Hey Wessam:
I was just trying to move the DNN installation from one machine to another and facing some problems in the DNN files, Core files, etc ... That gave me an idea of a new song to add to the list :D

You Love Hit me in my Core !!!!!!
