To the tune of “Without Me”

[size=2]Two GUI classes go on the inside; on the inside, on the inside  
Two GUI classes go on the inside; on the inside, on the inside  
Guess who’s back Back again C is back Tell a friend  
Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back  
guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back…

Sun’s created a monster, cause nobody wants to code Java no more  
or basic, but something quicker  
Well if you want speed, this is what I’ll give ya  
A language called C that won’t let you do “is a”  
Some “has a” that makes me feel sicker  
than the bugs when I build patch that’s critical  
using make to compile and be building  
with a language that allows object orientating

Your var name’s too long, now stop line breaking  
Cause I’m back, I’m a new var and instantiating  
I know that you got a job Bill and Steve  
but your company’s trust problem’s complicating

So GCC won’t follow ANSI or copy memory, so let me see  
They try to recompile with visual C But it feels so bloated, without C  
So, connect with SLIP, or create a RIP \*\*\*\* that, write a function, and shift some bits  
And get ready, and use a pattern like proxy MS just settled their lawsuits, expect a levy!

Now this looks like a job for C So everybody, just code in C  
Cause we need a little, bit more speed Cause it runs so slowly, without C

Little Hallions, MS feelin litigious Embarrassed that users still listen to RMS  
They start feelin like ellen feiss 'til someone comes on the television and yells SWITCH!!!

A visionary, beard’s lookin’ scary Could start a revolution, lives in a bear cave  
A rebel, although emacs ain’t real fast and there’s the fact that I only got one class  
And it’s a disaster, such a castastrophe for you can see so \*\*\*\* much of my class; meant to use C.

Well I’m back, i-j-k-x-y-z-out-ta-var-names Fix your \*\*\*\* indentifier tune your code and I’m gonna  
open it, under vim, maybe pico and variables, no such thing as a member  
I’m interesting, the best thing since assembly but not Polluting the namespace with inherits  
We’re Testing, your functions please Feel the tension, soon as someone commits some C  
Here’s my webpage, my code is free who’ll pay the rent? What, You code with vi?

An object in[/size] [size=2].NET, I go tit for tat with anybody who’s setting this bit, that bit  
AT&T, you can get your \*\*\* kicked worse than those little C++ bastards

And Ruby? just like a static property not even used with KDE and QT  
You’re not like C, you’re too slow, let go It’s over, nobody’ll code in OO!  
Now let’s go, -9’s the signal I’ll be there with a whole list of XM and L  
I use SOAP, XPATH with XSL And you know perl’s just like coding in symbols  
everybody only just codes C so this must mean, some com-pile-ing  
but it’s just me i’m obfuscating And though I’m not the first king of controversy  
And i’m not the worst thing since assembly but I am the worst thing since 86 XFree  
do use BASIC and JSP and used it to get myself wealthy  
Here’s a concept that works twenty million new coders emerge  
but no matter how many fish in the sea half of them can’t even code C

Now this looks like a job for C So everybody, just code in C
