G Drinking Songs for Future LAVA BBQs


Recommended Posts

When the Mindstorms NXT came out, I started composing nursery rhymes for teaching LabVIEW to children. Somewhere there's a video from NI Week this year of "The Execution Hilite Went Down The Wire Route".

But I've also contemplated more adult musical fare. And one of the most interesting possibilities (to me) would be G drinking songs for the LAVA BBQ. Just imagine: a mass of LAVA users singing the joys of dataflow over flowing beer. So, I'm offering one song here. Feel free to either add verses to this one or to post your own songs.

What Do You Do With A Broken Wire?

(to the tune of What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?)

Chorus

What do you do with a broken wire?

What do you do with a broken wire?

What do you do with a broken wire?

__________to fix a broken VI?

Verse 1

Change one of its ends to an indicator!

Change one of its ends to an indicator!

Change one of its ends to an indicator!

__________that'll fix the VI! (back to chorus)

Verse 2

Insert a node to convert the source type!

Verse 3

Check all ends connect to terminals!

Verse 4

Use control-B and just remove it!

Final Verse (always the last verse even if more verses are added before)

Do whatever the Error Window tells ya!

Do whatever the Error Window tells ya!

Do whatever the Error Window tells ya!

__________that'll fix the VI! (Cheering and whooping)

Don't be shy, go one step further and sing it with LV R&D :yes:

I really like "Write in G" we sometime listen to it with a couple of "G-friends" here in Geneva !
