The Whiz’s Crucible

The Java song
The song can also be found here.

Absolutely enjoyed this song – “Java Java jing jing jing” is all I am humming today:)

Got interested in this song when I heard it as the theme music of the podcast The Java Posse

the lyrics are:
Java by “Loose Bruce” Kerr Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing

It’s not a cup of coffee but it’s hot as can be
Came pourin’ through the Gates on a “Big Mac” Nealy
Singin’, Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
Microsoft thought Java really could be a threat
Java through the Windows maybe put them in debt
Gates, he took a license but he altered the feel
Java members all said, “Bill, you’re outa the deal!”

Singin’, Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing

It’s like a cup of coffee ’cause it’s tasty and fresh
But it’s not really Java if the flavors don’t mesh
Pure Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing

Microsoft released a browser, Java was there
The Sun, it rose and lit up what was really a dare
The RMI, the JNI were missing and lost
Scott said, “Bill, you broke your promise, Now pay the cost!”

Bill said, “Hey, my recipe is richer than yours”
Scott said, “I own the coffee shop, sit down and I’ll pour”

Pour Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
Nobody can tell yet what the future may bring
All we know is Java goes jing-jing-jing

It goes Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
(Scott really means it)
Java, Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
(Bill you better believe it)
Java, Java Java jing-jing-jing
