very, very funny line and finished the whole tune:
Hotel Vantage-Vista
On Gore's superhighway, cooling fans in my ear
Warm smell of disc-drives, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the rack-space, saw some flickering lights
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Must stop coding for the night
There they stood in the doorway;
I heard the Controller yell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be a dot Net or DLL Hell'
Then they fired up the client and they showed me way.
They said "Those arn't bugs up there...
....we designed it that way."
Welcome to the Hotel Vantage-Vista
Such a lovely screen (Such a lovely screen)
Costs lots of green.
Need plenty of RAM at the Hotel Vantage-Vista
In about a year (In about a year)
We'll have that feature here.
The code's really-twisted, it sometimes abends
They got some pretty tools - they call BPMs
They program in C-Sharp, sweet Redmond sweat.
Some code they remember, some code they forget
I asked the System Manager,
'Please run this on Wine'
He said, 'We haven't had stability here since Windows of 99'
And still that process is calling from far away,
A Web Service in the middle of the night
....we started earlier that day.
Welcome to the Hotel Vantage-Vista
Such a lovely Grid (Such a lovely Grid)
Why's that columns hid?
We're livin' it up at the Hotel Vantage-Vista
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
My session's still alive...
Mirrors of the disc drives,
Version eight is on ICE
I think 'We're just prisoners here, of our own advice'
With the Progress Explorer,
They prepared to delete
They stab it with their Escape keys,
But the process did not decease.
Last thing I remember,
the record was modified before
Had to restore the user back
To the way she was before
'Refresh,' said support man,
'We're trained to defeat.
You can add as much as you like,
But you can never delete!'
