How did I not know that this existed? Here’s a parody of Under the Sea, the bouncy song from Disney’s animated film The Little Mermaid, but instead of being about why life is better under the sea, it’s about why programming is better with C than with any of those newfangled programming languages with their classes and whatnot:
This amuses me to no end.
When I was a DJ at Clark Hall Pub, the engineering pub at Crazy Go Nuts University, among the alt-rock songs that were guaranteed to pack the dance floor was a strange outlier that started as a joke but turned into a hit that had to be played at least once a night: Under the Sea!
It’s also the time when I got proficient in C, as it was one of the acceptable programming languages for using in assignments. The other one was Turing, and yes, there’s a reason you haven’t heard of it. (One of my favorite professors, Dr. Michael Levison, used to say that Alan Turing would probably be horrified at the programming language that bears his name.)
I may have to add this one to my accordion repertoire.
Officials said tech entrepreneur Ilya Lichtenstein, 34, and his rapper wife, Heather Morgan, 31, were charged with conspiring to launder money. They are accused of trying to launder 119,754 bitcoin that were stolen after a hacker breached the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex and initiated more than 2,000 unauthorized transactions. Prosecutors said the bitcoin was sent to a digital wallet controlled by Lichtenstein.
“Rapper” is just one of the occupations that Heather Rhiannon Morgan claims. She’s also a tech entrepreneur, as well as a contributor to Forbes and Inc., both of whom I’m sure have already booked editorial meetings to discuss what to do about their articles with her byline.
Razzlekhan is a surrealist artist & shameless rapper. Her genre is horror-comedy, with a splash of weird allure.
She has a rare type of synesthesia, so her senses are “crossed,” giving her “phantom tastes and smells,” and more.
Razz is all about authenticity, misfits, self-love, and social commentary. Her experiences living in the Middle East (Turkey & North Africa) and Asia (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong) influence her art.
WHAT GETS POSTED:
Razz’s weird art projects (fashion design, sculpture, collage, painting, and music videos from her rap songs)
inspirational content to help you become your best self (which is always your REAL SELF)
DIY art tutorials (“Berazzling” old clothes to create your own streetwear fashion )
unusual fashion ideas
wild stories from around the world (Vietnam, Egypt, Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan, etc)
unusual life hacks -ideas to optimize your home, life, and career
You may have tried to find her videos to see what they were like, only to find that someone (probably her) has pulled them from YouTube.
Luckily for you, I found duplicates on Vimeo, and present them to you below. I’m posting them here on my tech blog (as opposed to my general blog) as a warning to techies: unless you actually have a sense of rhythm and music, the ability to rap, and some taste, please don’t do this.
The video
Versace Bedouin
This is really bad. Really, really bad. I had low expectations before watching the video, and it’s worse than I thought it would be. And now, I present it to you.
The album tracks
The other two videos posted to Vimeo are really audio files with a still photo “album cover” for the video section. At least with Versace Bedouin, you had visuals to watch. With these two tracks, all you really have is the audio, which forces you to endure the rap in its full horror, without anything to distract you.
