It’s Java, And It’s Hot!

You bet your sweet patootie it is!

What’s not to love? A hot, delicious beverage and the world’s hottest programming language. To us, it’s a match made in heaven (whatever you consider that to be, or not).

As such, we felt it necessary to put our love to music, complete with melodies that will no doubt stick to the roof of your head like so much yummy peanut butter. And the lyrics? Sheer poetry!

And that’s why you’re here, isn’t it? To bite off a nice chunk of that tasty Purple Puke Music sound. I don’t blame you — we here at the home office do it every day!

So here, take this: a 100 percent completely free download of our song, “Java.”

Super-hip dude Dick Wall — one-third of the virtual street gang known as the Java Posse — asked us if he could use our song, after finding our page at GarageBand.com (which was purchased by iLike, so go here). With the popularity of Java enveloping the world, how could we refuse? Plus, podcasting is just too freakin’ cool, man! Does that make us all pod people? It just might!

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you enjoy the song. If you do — heck, even if you don’t — please drop us a line and tell us what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

And while you’re here, check out the rest of the site. Maybe even download some more songs — sure, go ahead, help yourself! Send them to your friends, even your mom. She’ll love to hear from you!

What follows is a few juicy facts about the song, plus the lyrics. Feel free to print them out, tape ’em to your bathroom mirror and sing along. But please, not while gargling. We here at Purple Puke Music are not responsible for any harm inflicted upon yourself by doing so.

LYRICS

caffeine-filled beverage
object-oriented language
goes well with most confections
implements garbage collection

chorus:
it’s java
and it’s hot

use it to wake up
sun’s logo has a cup
your mug is on the table
it’s internet-enabled

(chorus)

you can grind your own beans
program the virtual machine
add milk, sugar, sweet ’n’ low
but watch for those exception throws

bridge:
i drink it in the morning
it helps to get me going
the turkish kind is really strong
can be expensive or had for a song
all those class libraries
coporate database — jdbc!
graphics with awt
compile it all with javac

strong and black can make you wince
extend classes with inheritance
cappuccino has a creamy head
multiple execution threads

(chorus)

it’s a taste sensation
applets and applications
i drink it by the cupload
love that portable bytecode

(chorus)
