I Tried Emacs (Visit Days, March 2011)

The UW CSE Band is a computer science parody rock band composed of grad students from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. We perform mostly at department events, and our music makes fun of anything and everything relating to computer science, programming, and life as a grad student. This video is from the spring Visit Days event for prospective students. As of spring 2011, the band consists of:

Alex Colburn (lead guitar)
Laura Effinger-Dean (vocals)
Rebecca Fiebrink (keyboard)
Andrew Guillory (bass guitar, vocals)
Kristi Morton (drums, vocals)

Lyrics:
vi is what I used to plan
All my inventions
Escape colon q stretch out my hand
Start a new bash session
It's not what I'm used to
Just want to try you on
I'm curious for gnu
Closed my vi session

I tried emacs and I liked it
The feel of the alt-control-shift
I tried emacs just to try it
Hope vim.org don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
I love the syntax highlight
I tried emacs and I liked it
I liked it

Knowing how to copy would be nice
It doesn't matter
I'll just cut and paste it twice
Less to remember
I'm told it's an os
built into itself
Control x-control s
Me from myself

chorus

This editor's programmable
E-lisp macros so flexible
Hard to resist so codable
Too good to deny it
Need a doctor it's built iiiin

chorus
