Geek songs (Not The Monday Competition)

My favourite geek song is Let It Be, by the Beatles, but with different words:

When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me, Speaking words of wisdom: "Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches, And bugs are all that I can see, Somewhere, someone whispers: "Write in C."

Write in C, Write in C, Write in C, oh, Write in C. LOGO's dead and buried, Write in C.

This page has the rest of the song, plus versions of Eleanor Rigby and Nowhere Man.

Not sure how many of these things there are, but there are 201 here. The list includes such gems as Berkelian Rhapsody and The Programmer's Viewpoint. Some of them are very, very old.

Oh, the Monday Competition, Songs about geeks, is here.
