Well, I thought I had my pointers alright
But my bits all shifted off to the right
At a blank screen, I'm beginning to stare
Though I swear there used to be data there
Nulls to the left of me
Pointers to the right, and now it's
Stuck in an infinite loop
Yes it's stuck in an infinite loop
And my code's lookin' like alphabet soup
Now the CPU's beginning to race
Tryin' to break out of this deadly embrace
Voids to the left of me
Constants to the right
And it's still stuck in an infinite loop
The compiler's doin' nothing
And it says the value's set to NaN*
All my processes are crawlin,
All that's left to try is hit
Keys.... keys....
Now the network line is starting to crawl
And the printer's screwing stuff into balls
As the core was dumped, my jaw hit the floor
Pretty soon, I think I may declare war
Queues to the left of me
Linkers to the right
And it's still stuck in an infinite loop
The deadline's gettin' closer
But the situation's out of hand
Now I'm gettin' close to bawling
Why'd I have to go and try
C..... C.....
Now I think I may just give up the ghost
'cause the network's sayin' "cannot find host"
And my patience is beginning to give
And I'm losing what will I had to live
Nulls to the left of me
Pointers to the right, and it's still
Stuck in an infinite loop
Yes, it is stuck in an infinite loop
Stuck in an infinite loop
Damn, this thing's stuck in an infinite loop
Stuck in an infinite loop
Stuck in an infinite loop
(repeat ad infinitum)
But my bits all shifted off to the right

* NaN = Not a Number. Not something you want to be showing up in arithmetic operations :-)

I only know enough of the jargon to get about half of it but, it was funny nonetheless...555

What Rick said.
Your parody looks a little loopy, but still I'll have to "SET vote = 0x05"
Catchy... char char char
boolean this rocks=true;
SOTM-Great parody! 5's...
This one's definitely worth more than a C... or even a C++ :-)
[SOTM] Fantastic parody Adam! I'm really impressed 555+
[SOTM] Very technical, but good...what I remembered of the tune.
(SOTM) Nice write, I feel your pain.
[SOTM] Pair this with Arwen'd printer song also in compeition, and you have yourself a Monday Morning At The Office 2-fer! Funny, yet not too "techy" to turn me off. 555
SOTM: Story of my life...well, at least 9-5 M-F =)
(SOTM) Well bust my buffers --- a geek parody par excellence!
SOTM - The last in line in SOTM, coincidence or loop?
' (SOTM)
PARODY$ = 'Nicely done!'
WHILE PARODY$ = 'Nicely done!'
SCORE = 555
WEND

Melhi - you left out the "COOKIES.Delete()" line (otherwise your infinite loop will not record more than one vote, anyway) ;-)
(SOTM) Well I don't get it all but still a great parody Adam.
(SOTM) excellent stuff Adam, and nicely varied choruses - great pacing too - and funny last line
SOTM--and people wonder why I never became a programmer.
Okay, honestly, nobody wonders that...they wonder why I didn't become a supermodel...(answer: I'm too short, and I'd be uninsurable walking in heels on a runway...; )...)...but I was left without anything clever to say...and this was FABulous, Adam...=)
