Listen... do you want to know a secret?
And finally, before we bring you this week’s Beatles lyrics, we have sad news of blatant cheating.
‘It would appear that goals are not the only thing Andy Cole poaches,’ says Lee Marmara at Code 27, after finding that the lyrics to ‘Write in C’ had previously been posted on many other web sites. We press on, our faith renewed by hundreds more entries that aren’t shamelessly copied.
First up, Bruce Parker’s Yesterday: ‘Yesterday/Windows updates seemed so far away/Now I restart almost twice a day/Oh I believe in yesterday/Suddenly, I’ve got half the Ram I used to see/There’s an update hanging over me/Oh, yesterday came with XP/XP has to go and I know it couldn’t stay/Can’t play Donkey Kong, now I long for yesterday.’
And finally, John Hamling gives us this version of Yellow Submarine: ‘We wrote some code, or was it born?/Where lived a bug that could not be seen/It would only come to life/In the land of
subroutines/So we used Java from Sun/And still found a screen of green/So it saw an early grave/along with that subroutine/We all hated that pesky subroutine…’
Just a couple more weeks before we make a shortlist for your vote. Let us know your opinions so far.
