"Hacky" (parody of "Tacky" by Weird Al, parody of Pharrell's "Happy")
It might seem crazy, writing CSS
When I could code in Bootstrap, SASS or Less
My entire database is CSV
I use Mac OS 7 from 1993
[Chorus:]
(my code is hacky)
Spend my day in Sublime Text 3, and wear Tattly tattoos
(my code is hacky)
If you don’t star my repo, I’ll down vote you on Hacker News
(my code is hacky)
I won’t use version control when I work with you
(my code is hacky)
If you're okay with that, then, you might just be hacky, too
[Verse 2:]
How my website works, well I do not know
I copy and paste from Stack Overflow
I don’t use Ruby, Go or Python 3
I code my websites in pure PHP
[Chorus:]
(because I'm hacky)
I use FONT, BLINK, and U, and nested TABLE tags
(because I'm hacky)
Made a new website that’s set in Comic Sans
(because I'm hacky)
I make my code incomprehensible to you
(because I'm hacky)
If you think that's just fine, then, you're probably hacky, too
[Bridge:]
It’s a shame, can't code nothing
It’s a shame, I never know why
It’s a shame, won’t write comments
It’s a shame, never wash my hair
It’s shame, my code’s O(N^2)
It’s a shame, animate in Flash
It’s a shame, can't code nothing
It’s a shame, I said
[Chorus:]
(because I'm hacky)
I outsource work, 5 bucks an hour
(because I'm hacky)
I hack so much, I rarely take a shower
(because I'm hacky)
500 errors, just ignore them all
(because I'm hacky)
Power sites with WordPress. Server starts to crawl
(because I'm hacky)
I code while drunk at the hackathon
Release live code with debug messages on
(because I'm hacky)
I run my own BitCoin site, with passwords in plain text
(because I'm hacky)
If my code has an error I stare into space perplexed
(because I'm hacky)
If you don't think that's bad, guess what, then you're hacky, too
