It's a goof, just for fun, we love coding in all languages. Except Objective C :p

Thanks to Chris Shiflett for posting the lyrics with a fantastic interpretation:

Oh yeah. (Oh yeah.)
(Just one day it just hits you all of a sudden. It's just like...)

Oh yeah, I'm so PHP this year
Got a mic in the left, and 'n the right, cold beer
Compile that Apache
Now we got version 5 and two chicks laid out in the back seat
Yeah, sometimes the code looks a little trashy
But, this ain't ColdFusion
Stop talking sassy, and pull up them panties

I'm really... I'm just saying; why don't you go check out the API reference docs.
They're really good.
(They are.)

Is it underline or camelCase?
I can't remember, I've been busy poundin' cakes
It's what PHP developers do
We get more booty than you
Don't be jealous when you smell us
check the Boolean dude, it reads...

[chorus]
(Oh yeah)
Check the Boolean dude, it reads true
(Oh yeah)
PHP gets more booty than you
(Oh yeah)
Check the Boolean dude, it reads true
(Oh yeah)
PHP gets more booty than you
(Oh yeah)
Check the Boolean dude, it reads...

True, PHP gets more booty than you
but we still keep it clean
MySQL really real wrappin' all strings
Filter input like it was a herpes strain
(You know what I'm saying?)
That's why we got the stdClass
Objects we pass might need to be trashed
Girl, what you doin'?

Come gunzip this
Be my witness as I strip this string of all slashes
Now, I got what I need
No traversing my filesystem when you ain't supposed to be
That's how it is rolling with PHP
All the hot chicks, yeah, they love PHP
(It's so true)
(Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about)

[chorus]

(Yo, yo, tell 'em about it)

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
It's real out here
Somebody better call the mod_security officer
My concern is for those weak half-assed scripting languages
The ones that can't hang with us
It's strange, but they get hanged and remain in dust
Some aren't quite dead and still remain a pain to us
PHP's got more muscle
In a nutshell, nothing's quite like it
Predicted by the ancient cultures and the psychics
The ones who dreamt in recursive states
Whispering premonitions of open source community gates
PHP

(Oh yeah...)

[chorus]

Soon at the German Channel phpAkademie.

My friend keeps the password, so I'll have to upload it when he's got time. I'll post you a message when it's up.

Or actually, screw that: I'll post you a private message with a link to the Intro on my private account.

BTW: I chose the Lines "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor

It's real out here

Somebody better call the mod_security officer

My concern is for those weak half-assed scripting languages

The ones that can't hang with us

It's strange, but they get hanged and remain in dust

Some aren't quite dead and still remain a pain to us"

For my Intro :P

[winfr34k]

I will in every description.

[winfr34k]

Can I use this song for the intro of a youtube channel that's about PHP?
