#SongsInCode – Twitter Meme

by Ruxton on August 21st, 2009

This morning i got out of bed to be greeted by what I can only describe as the highest level of in-joke and nerd humour i’ve ever witnessed, #SongsInCode.  SongsInCode is a Twitter hashtag people have started using and the idea is simple, think of a lyric or name of a song and express it program code. Follow through for a list of #songsincode i submitted.

Heres a list of ones i submitted through the course of the day:

John Lennon – Imagine

function Imagine() {
	$ppl = World::getPopulation();
	$ppl->liveForToday();
	$ppl->liveInPeace();
	World::Share($ppl);
	World::liveAsOne($ppl);
}

The Beatles – Octopus’ Garden

if(garden.owner == "Octopus"
	&& garden.location == "under-sea"
	&& garden.shadeLevel == 80 ) {
		me.satisfied();
}

Nancy Sinatra – These Boots Are Made For Walking

$boots = bootFactory.make(WalkingBoots);
boots.Walk();
boots.WalkAllOver(you);

Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby

function Stop($ice) {
	Collaborate();
	Listen();
	$ice.invent();
	$ice.comeBack();
}

The Commodores – Three Times A Lady

while(i=1;i == 3; i++) {
	lady++;
}

Lamb Chops – The Song That Doesn’t End

while(1 != 1) {
	playVerse();

while(w in WestPhiladelphia) {
	w.shootBall();
	thugs.makeTrouble();
	w.fight(thugs);
	Mum.getScared();
	w.Location(BEL_AIR);
}

The Thrasmen – Surfin’ Bird

person.heard('Bird') ? '' : 'Ba Ba Ba Boo Ma Mow Mow Ba Ba Boo Mow Ma Mow';

for(i=1; i == 10; i++) {
	echo $crackCommandment[i];
}

Freestylers – Push Up

up = array('your body');
array_push(up,'your body next to mine');

Bart Simpson – Do The Bartman

function doTheBartman($person) {
	$person->ShakeBody();
	$person->TurnOutBody();
	$person->MoveButtSide2Side();
}
if ($guy->reputation == LUDE) {
	$guy->greet(Greets.DUDES);
	$guy->terrorise(people);
	$guy->keepFlow();
	$guy->fixTestScores();
	$guy->dropBananaPeels();
	$guy->setLastName('Simpson');
	$guy->setFirstName('Bart');
}
for($person in $House)
{
	doTheBartman($person);
}
