    If you are on the death row (or if you have just posted a programming question in The Lounge) and you get to listen to ONE song before you are sent to meet your maker, which song would it be? PS: If its a Celine Dion song you deserve to BE on the death-row.

    The Badger song we all got to know all too well a while back... odds are I'll die of old age before the executioner remembers what he was supposed to be doing. Alternatively, "It's A Small World" - Disney (I'll go out when the chorus ends) "Crazy Bitch" - Buckcherry (for my girl) "Old and Wise" - Alan Parsons Project (for the rest of you)

    "A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

            Hrm... I think either "The End" or "When the Music's Over" by the Doors.

              Or the programmer's version: "This is the project that will never end, It's bugs go on and on my friends, Some people started coding it, not knowing what it was, And they'll keep on coding on it forever just because" I've had a few projects like that.... :((

                You've all missed the obvious choice. I don't die until the song is over, right? "This is the song that never ends, yes, it goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it, not quite knowing what it was, now they'll keep on singing forever because, this is the song that never ends,..." Yes, this is an actual song, recorded and performed. Also, it's an excellent way to annoy people. Such as, for example, executioners.

                    first choice : The work popularly attributed to Albinoni (17th.-18th. century CE), the "Adagio in G Minor," but which is most probably an original 1958 composition by Remo Giazotto which Giazotto claimed was based on a fragment of an Albinoni sonata (the bass line only), sent to him by the Dresden State Library (the Library denies such a communication). second choice : "Fish Heads, Fish Heads" by Barnes and Barnes third choice : Satie "Gymnopedies" best, Bill

                    "Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

                            I had the same idea. My song was the Verdi's opera Aida!
