Parody of “Circle of Error” by Sixpence None the Richer (parody by FadeAway)
I see the count reset again
back from where it was going to where it’s been
once more in a rut
does the first two but
it never gets to three
and I’ll admit it disturbs me so
when my silley program just will not go
tracing subtle bugs
seems like every rug’s
been pulled out from under me
and my circular error
will go round and round
and my circular error
will go round and round again
(and again)
I’m running code into the ground
the results I’m seeking have not been found
the bug prevails
every time it fails
bringing cries of “not again!”
so i will try debugging mode
in the midst of this spaghetti code
all I want is to
increment past two
just to break this loop it’s in
and my circular error
will go round and round
and my circular error
will go round and round again
and my circular error
will go round and round
and my circular error
will go round and round again
count to one
count to two
then I scream
oh ponder my friend
the time I’ll spend
writing all these subroutines
again
(guitar solo)
and my circular error
will go round and round
and my circular error
will go round and round again
and my circular error
will go round and round
and my circular error
will go round and round again
Note:
This is a parody of the song as actually sung by Sixpence. That version has some lyrics not found in the liner notes. They go approximately so (transcribed as best as possible, considering their penchant for muffled vocals) <g> ……:
can I ask
can I find
can I scream
for you to forgive
the time I’ve spent
on this awful carousel
again
