Something every development engineer has been through



If Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh had gotten an MBA instead of majoring in art, we may have gotten this:

(bum-bum-bum-bum-BUM) Crack that whip!
(bum-bum-bum-bum-BUM) Schedule's gonna slip!
(bum-bum-bum-bum-BUM) Make the code crash
(bum-bum-bum-bum-BUM) Release date's coming fast

When a deadline comes along, you must ship it
Before the project goes too long, you must ship it
Doesn't matter if its wrong, you must ship it

Now ship it
Make the date!
Kludge it up
Damn straight
Go quickly
Move it out
Try not to test it
Or it might break
So ship it
Ship it now

It won't be on the shelves, unless we ship it
In time for Santa's elves, so we must ship it.
No one gets a break, until we ship it
I say ship it, ship it now
I say ship it, ship it now

Now ship it
Make the date!
Kludge it up
Damn straight
Go quickly!
Move it out
Try not to test it
Or it might break
So ship it
Make the date!
Kludge it up
Damn straight
Go quickly!
Move it out
Try not to test it
Or it might break
So ship it
Ship it now !
