Buggy Software by Robert Wynne (with a steal from Dave Weingart) Music: "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds © 2000 Buggy software on my desktop Buggy software built of hacky-tacky Buggy software on my desktop And it crashes all the time There's some perl code and some C code And I'd swear that's some Fortran there And it's jumbled like spaghetti And it crashes all the time And the programmers at Microsoft And Apple and Sun Microsystems Hack out all this buggy software So it crashes all the time There's a C hack And a Perl hack And an Object-oriented hack And they write code in the wee hours And they're crashing all the time And the boys down in Marketing Design the pretty boxes so When the code has been hacked up It can be shipped out on time There's a blue box And a red box And an round multi-colored box And they don't care if the code runs If it still ships out on time Buggy software on my desktop Buggy software built of hacky-tacky Buggy software on my desktop And it crashes all the time There's some perl code and some C code And I'd swear that's some Pascal there And it's jumbled like spaghetti And it crashes all the time
This was inspired by a thread on rec.music.filk. Note that I don't single out any particular vendor or platform as a target -- I wholly subscribe the theory that "All software sucks."
