I saw an article called “Songs in Code” which uses programming languages to describe famous songs. It’s like the Song Chart Meme on Flickr about a year ago, but much much geekier.

A few that I identified:

if (withU) ‘a’ to ‘z’ else (‘a’ to ‘z’).filter(_ != ‘u’)
“With or Without You” by U2
if ( time < 9 ) { Bed.tumbleOutOf(); Kitchen.stumbleTo(); Ambition.pourMyselfACupOf(); }
“9 to 5” by Dolly Parton
var city = {type:”paradise”, grass:0x00FF00, girls:”pretty”)}; transport(this, city);
“Paradise City” by Guns ‘n Roses
self.is_a?(Walrus) == true
“I Am the Walrus” by John Lennon

Awesome.
