Оказывается, в Microsoft есть коллектив художественной самодеятельности, и называется он "Band on the Runtime". Видимо, имеется в виду Common Language Runtime.

Образец их творения — на мотив "King of the Road":

Platform for sale or rent
who cares where all the others went
no more pointer, pushes, pops or peaks
I ain't got no memory leaks
I wrote ten lines of C# today
I was more productive than yesterday
I'm a programmer of mean by no means
I'm a king of the code

I feel sorry for those guys at Sun
DOTNET has got them on the run
But when I hear Scott McNeally whine
I say stick your VM where the Sun don't shine
Most folks agree VB DOT NET
Is the best version of Java that we've seen yet
I'm a programmer of mean by no means
I'm a king of the code
и т.д. — там ещё два куплета.

И ещё там же — переделки "Walk On The Wild Side" (Bill G came from Seattle WA / Spread .NET across the USA), "Ворона" Эдгара По и многого другого.
