Java, the song, by “Loose Bruce” Kerr was produced in 1997. Like many of you, it's grown on me over the years.
What's missing is an update to the lyrics to cover some of the Java- related events of the past 13 years. Out of the 2700 members of this group, perhaps a few will try their hand at adding another verse about how Java's story has progressed. Any ideas for the next verse? Some topics to get you started: Oracle, Larry Ellison, James Gosling, NetBeans, Eclipse, generics, enums, Jigsaw, OSGI, Groovy, Scala, Clojure, Jython, JRuby, C#, GWT, Apple, iPhone, Android, closures You can download the song from here: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/dcb/Java.mp3 Below are the lyrics to the song, copied from here: http://www.modlost.net/home/blog/java-song.html Java by “Loose Bruce” Kerr Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing It’s not a cup of coffee but it’s hot as can be Came pourin’ through the Gates on a “Big Mac” Nealy Singin’, Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Microsoft thought Java really could be a threat Java through the Windows maybe put them in debt Gates, he took a license but he altered the feel Java members all said, “Bill, you’re outta the deal!” Singin’, Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing It’s like a cup of coffee ’cause it’s tasty and fresh But it’s not really Java if the flavors don’t mesh Pure Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Microsoft released a browser, Java was there The Sun, it rose and lit up what was really a dare The RMI, the JNI were missing and lost Scott said, “Bill, you broke your promise, Now pay the cost!” Bill said, “Hey, my recipe is richer than yours” Scott said, “I own the coffee shop, sit down and I’ll pour” Pour Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing Nobody can tell yet what the future may bring All we know is Java goes jing-jing-jing It goes Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing (Scott really means it) Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing (Bill you better believe it) Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
