God Rest Ye Gerry Anderson Lyrics:
God rest ye Gerry Anderson, Joe
90 and Stingray
We’ll never let those Mysterons… Get their evil way
We hope you’re feeling F.A.B. On Island of Tracy
As it’s time for a sci-fi eulogy.
Oh, too many
Remembering those who thought
differently
God rest ye
Douglas Adams, though your jokes still feel so new
We didn’t like that Hitch Hiker remake
but we love you
So long and thanks for all the fish
I hope you can forgive
that actor frooom the
British office (crap Arthur Dent)
whatshisname off the office tried his
best
Carrie Fisher, Margot Kidder, on
another plane
Princess Leia chillin out up there with Louis Lane
Oh Kenny Baker R2D2 you were brave and true
Garry Kurtz we remember you as crew
course we do
Produced Star Wars movies
what a dude
Oh Servalan, we loved you as
Blake’s Federation boss,
So Smart and cool and powerful
Your passing is our loss
From Blake’s seven to Star Trek we can
Tell you all this day
That we miss you Anton Yeltchin,
Leonard Nimoy, and Ricky Jay
Deborah Watling, Jon Paul Steuer
Gone away.
The final verse is dedicated to
a special man
His superhero franchise grew from such a lowly plan
Your ideas meant, we saw you in the movies and TV
We will never forget you Stan Lee,
Stan Lee
You’ll forever live on in our memory
Coding Carol Lyrics:
Silent screen, holy night
No more lines left to write
Syntax perfect, program compiled
Low-key wired in, everything filed
Code in heavenly peace, yeah
Code in, heavenly peace
Silent screen, holy screen
Soft fans whirr on my machine
Crypto mining so quiet and true
All the work done on my GPU
Code in heavenly peace
Code in heavenly peace
Silent screen holy chair
Friends online, always there
Called all arguments everything works
Signing out of mechanical Turk
Shutting down is so sweet
Time to get something to eat
Oversharer's Carol
I took a picture of my food
And it looked pretty sweet
I’ll post it up on social media
Cos everyone must see
I took a picture of my house
Location clear to see
So now when I say I’m away
I’m susceptible to burglary
I like to share my every thought
And all my best friends news
I posted carol wanted a divorce
Before her husband knew
And when you tell me a secret
I’ll blurt it out online
But I’m still shocked when I get blocked
For the seven hundredth time
