In the old days of YOSPOS, there was a beloved tradition of creating song parodies. In the spirit of that tradition, let me volunteer this parody I just slapped together:

code:

Party in the SF Bay


I got off the plane at SFO
With a dream and my flannel on
Welcome the land of lame techbros
Wonder if I'll get along?

Jumped on the BART,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see a SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO sign

This is all so wild
Everyone here a manchild
My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
A BARTer turned on his boombox
and a ytcracker song was on
and a ytcracker song was on
and a ytcracker song was on

So I got my IDE up,
They're playing my song
And the bugs start to fly away
Noddin' my head like hmm
Wiping my nose like hmm

I got my IDE up
They're playing my song
I think I'll be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the SF Bay
Yeah, it's a party in the SF Bay

Get to a mixer down 101
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that nerd, still wearing Allbirds?
He's gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my folks not around me
It's definitely not a Midwest party
Cause all I see are Macbooks
That explains all the weird looks

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite Zune
And a Weird Al song was on
And a Weird Al song was on
And a Weird Al song was on
So I get my Thinkpad out,
They're playing my tune
And the women back away
Noddin' my head like hmm
Wiping my nose like hmm
So I get my Thinkpad out,
They're playing my tune
I think I'll be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the SF Bay
Yeah, it's a party in the SF Bay

quote:

Well, I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight
Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late
I kiss the kids goodbye, I can't remember their names
And week after week, it's always the same

chorus:
And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in the life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line

Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
Program, printout, regress to the mean

(chorus)

Then it's home again, eat again, watch some TV
Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three
I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night
I'm soaring over hills like an eagle in flight

(chorus)

Someday I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things
I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring
Burn up my necktie and set myself free
Cause no'one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me

(chorus)

Is this the thread for asking for the enterprise grade song? I checked what's his name's soundcloud but it wasn't there anymore.

Edit: that's what I get for posting without reading!

I found a text document from 2009 titled "YOSPOS_Songs.txt" on my NAS.

Here is the first entry. Credit to whichever long-departed poster originally wrote this:

code:

You and I in a computer shop
Buy a terabyte drive with the money we've got
Fill it up to the break of dawn
'Til one by one, gigs are gone
On the board, bugs in the firmware
Flash the OS, "hard disk failure"
Idling under fluorescent light
999 gigabytes go by

999 gigabytes burning in fluorescent light
Panic beeps, S.M.A.R.T. drive alert
The bits in here match nowhere else
Neckbeard CJ springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the drive
Where 999 gigabytes go by

999 Diagnostic Street, 999 CJs meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call IT out in a hurry
This is what we've studied for
Low mean time between failure
The shop owner is on the line
As 999 gigabytes go by

999 knights of drive care
Run super-high-tech live CDs
Everyone's a CJ hero
Everyone's an RMS
With firmware patches to apply
User fault imply, files awry
Scramble in fluorescent light
As 999 gigabytes go by

999 drives I have had
On every one a bad sector
It's all over and I'm sitting pretty
Next to a platter, dirty, gritty
If I could find a good career
Something my kids could revere
And here is a PATA drive
I think of you and toss it out...
