These Songs Would Make Some Great Code Comments
summary
Demonstrates dropping song lyrics into actual code comments over concrete examples: a method named stop paired with U Can't Touch This, conditional branches matched to Call Me Maybe, exception handlers annotated with tongue‑in‑cheek directives. Performs short live snippets, proposes using lyrics as commit messages, and assigns specific songs to debugging stages — notably using Fix You and The Scientist as the “fix” and “investigate” rituals — all meant to show practical, playful ways to document and debug working Java code.
