The HTML Song

R&B at its finest, The HTML Song is also educational. It teaches the basic premise of HTML, provides examples (eg: how to make text bold) and it’s danceable. I can’t wait to hear this at the next dance party. I’m going all-out on this one.

Code Monkey

Depicting the depressing real life of coders everywhere fictitious world of code-monkey and his co-workers, this song excels in providing several lines that deserve to be placed on a coffee mug. This is going on the office playlist.

HTML

Written in 1996, this is one visionary song! It’s probably the oldest front-end themed song, and it has some quality 90s-era computer effects. I think this song inspired the latest Jamiroquai album. I thought the song was over at about the 4 minute mark, but I was in luck, it started again with a new verse! And then it went on for over 3 more minutes. Wow!

Satan Explains HTML using Death Metal (warning: explicit)

Nothing says Metal like a bright orange guitar, a red cape and devil horns. The vocal style reminds me of The Ghost Inside and I think Glenn Fricker may have produced this track. It’s all class, I hope it gets performed at the next Eurovision Song Content.

Wecag 2.0 Theme Song

Highly educational, informing web developers about a much-neglected topic: accessibility. It’s acoustic-electronic folk rap performed correctly for once. It’s so catchy, you will never forget it. In fact, I can guarantee that it will randomly pop into your head months and even years in the future, causing you to instantly approach a perfect stranger and yell ‘w-w-w-w-wecag, wecag’ in their face.
