The more my brain lines itself up to program, the more it seems to appreciate crazy freak out nonsense lyrics.

Case in point, Man Man’s “Against the Peruvian Monster”

i can’t believe we met on this lonely crowded street
flashing identical bandoleers
if you were born in the gutter i was weened at your feet
watch out for flying native spears

i’m hip to your hypotenuse your geometric ways
your lion/lying lips are double stitched right below your waist
and those eyes you wear they wear me out
the weight you bear it tears me down
i’m falling apart i’m falling apart at the seams and you’re just standing there

wearing that guerilla suit to try to scare me but it won’t work
wearing that gorilla suit to try to scare me but it won’t work
wearing that guerilla suit to try scare me but it won’t work
wearing that gorilla suit to try and scare me but it won’t

and i say captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain

Case in point, some ML code:
let val (baz : table, pirate : int) = interpExp(foo, z)
in (baz : table, process(y, bar, pirate) : int)
end

At least the lyrics are easy to remember, which is while you will see me marching down the street, twitching, air drumming, and whispering “captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain captain.”
