Fantastic Java song
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

A wonderful soul-searching ballad to the world!!! Or is it?

The other day I was listening to this song for the umpteenth time and it struck me that it is quite a cheesy song if one is not in a “brotherhood” mood. So what is it that makes this song so popular?
My thory is that the song is beautiful but would not have got anywhere close to the kind of popularity it got if it was not written and sung by John Lennon.

In fact maybe even that would not have made it so evergreen if it was not for his assassination. Maybe I am wrong but can you imagine Cliff Richard singing this song and selling more than a few copies. It just had to come out of Lennon for it to live on. It’s not even the best song that he has penned but still it is his greatest for in one wide brushstroke it makes him a saint, making us forget the man with all his foibles.
My two cents a usual!!!
