Shame about the lyrics

There seem to be few occupations in your lives that aren’t accompanied by a song.
This week, Nigel Watson says: ‘Anyone compiling a C Program who doesn’t get his/her pointers right gets a message: "Superstitious Pointer Conversion at statement nnnn",’ he writes. ‘To which I normally sing: "Very superstitious, The statements in the Code."
We should warn Nigel’s workmates that he is currently rewriting Indian Reservation by Don Fardon: ‘He took the whole mainframe nation and put us on a Sun workstation/ Took away our JCL and made us work with Korn Shell/Took away our VSAM cluster, Now the iNode we must muster/ All the circuits made by hand, are nowadays made in Japan...’
