#songsincode

If you haven't seen the #songsincode hashtag that was a trending topic on Twitter on Thursday and on into Friday, you've really been missing out. The story of how this trend got rolling can be found here.
Basically, coders are having a little fun with the language of their choice and are capturing popular lyrics in code form. Here's an example:
class City extends RockAndRoll {}
This was one of my favorites. Translated into lyrics it is "We built this city on rock and roll." Fairly clever. There are at this point hundreds (actually probably thousands) of #songsincode tweets on Twitter. Go check them out and join in the fun!

Even lyricist think it's fun. My clumsy attempt:
{ if (baby == left me) var i ={find:{place to dwell:target=”new”}}
Makey-uppy, I agree. Who can clean it up for me?
Some of the #songsincode can be a lot of fun to figure out. To be honest though, I just don't get about 20% of them :-( This one by royvanrijn is my favourite:
for(Leaf leaf:leafs)
{ leaf.setColor(new Color(139,69,19)); }
sky.setColor(Color.GRAY);
