#songsincode - Lyrics for Programmers

#songsincode are small pseudo-programs which display a song title or part of the lyrics. The more refined examples use conditional code and control stuctures to define the song.

The tag was first used on twitter a couple of weeks ago. After a sudden burst of popularity, #songsincode has slowed to about 20 tweets a day. Here's an example by testydonkey:

if(Door.Color == System.Color.Red)
{ Door.Color = System.Color.Black; }

This is Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones, “I see a red door and I want it painted black”.

Here's the top 25 countdown of the very finest #songsincode. Can you identify all 25? Is your favourite missing? Let me know :-)
