Chatting about C songs on CB suddenly gave me an idea to write a Perl song... about new Perl releases. I couldn't find better words to complete the first line, any suggestions welcome!
Perl! I love the colorful syntax you have
And the way .....
Ah! I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that sends some rumour through the air
Perl! I love the colorful syntax you bear
And the way you use ne eq cmp to compare...
Ah! I hear the sound of an apocalypse
Larry's getting slashdotted and the server's on a tear
{Refrain}
I'm pickin' up new releases,
It's givin' me the excitations,
I'm pickin' up good releases,
(Ooo, bop-bop, good releases)
It's givin' me the excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(New, new, new, new releases)
I'm pickin' up new releases,
(Ooo, bop-bop, good releases)
It's givin' me the excitation
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good releases)
I'm pickin' up new releases
(Ooo, bop-bop, new releases)
It's givin' me the excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
Close my eyes; solution's somehow closer now
Untested but I know it must be fine
When -- I read the new Perl release notes
It goes with me to a brand new world
{Refrain}
I don't know where, but Perl sends me there
(Oh, my my love sensation)
(Oh, my my heart elation)
Gotta keep those lovin' new releases a-happenin' with Perl x3
Ohh!
(New, new, new, new releases)
I'm pickin' up new releases
(Ooo, bop-bop, new releases)
It's givin' me the excitation
(Bop-bop, excitations)
(Good, good, good, good releases)
I'm pickin' up good releases
(Ooo, bop-bop, good releases)
Na na-na na-na na-na-na x4
Update: plugged in
zeno's suggestion and completed the lyric.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
