Everybody Hack ChucK Tonight!
Perry R. Cook, March 2006 - May 2008
after chung, wang and wolf, peter
(with fair use)
All music coded in ChucK by P. Cook
lyrics/vocals/handclaps by P. Cook

I'd write a million lines
coding day and night.
Cause when I'm feelin down
this language makes it alright.
Our data types are strong.
We give our programs for free.
So turn the music on.
C'mon and ChucK with me!

ChucK it up-spork down
Chuck it up-let the schreduler handle time. 
Chuck it up-spork down
ChucK it up-get the syntax and the style.

Chorus:
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Hack ChucK tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Hack ChucK tonight
Everybody Hack...

So just type > chuck foo (.ck) 
to let the tokens spew out. 
Deep in the CPU,
the VM thrashes about.
We have concurrency.
An exact sense of time.
Oh baby ChucK with me
To help me finish this rhyme.

ChucK it up-spork down
Chuck it up-let the schreduler handle time.
Chuck it up-spork down
ChucK it up-get the syntax and the style.

Chorus

Now with hard work and lots of luck,
all the world is using ChucK
With all the features and the bugs
It's become a language run amok!

Everybody
Everybody Hack ChucK tonight
Everybody
Everybody Wang Ge tonight

Across the nation, around the world
Everybody Hack ChucK tonight
A celebration so spread the word
Everybody.. Hack ChucK tonight
Everybody.. Wang Ge tonight     fade..
