Development-related songs

I just noticed the Beastie Boys’ CD To the 5 Boroughs has lots of good development-related songs.

  • The SourceSafe (or Vault) song:  Ch-Check It Out
  • The build song:  Time To Build
  • When every manager expects you to finish:  Right Right Now Now
  • The change log song (alternatively, a user’s way to trick you into just one more change request):  That's It That's All
  • And what most developers drink on the weekends:  The Brouhaha

Now all I have to do is hook these up to events in Visual Studio or Windows, and life will be good! Or at least entertaining.

My favorite dev-related song is "Push It" by Salt-n-Peppa - for pushing out daily builds.

Good one Brendan.

How about Jay-Z's "99 Problems" for bug fixes and testing. :)

Or for those hard-to-find bugs:

Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad"

How about "Hey F*?# You" for dealing with management :)
