Vibe Codin’
A parody of “Jive Talkin’” — Bee Gees, 1975 • Words by KLP
Our S.P.A.R.K.’n — brings tears to my eyes
I’m learnin’ more than I ever could,
Prompt responses are really that good!
Logic’s structured and it runs so cool…
If my token credits should fall to zero
As backup I’ve got Raina down in Magic School!
I’m no longer a sap,
Hard coding to crank out an app!
My wishes become our commands
Genie magic meets software demands!
You write it like you’re livin’ large
You free my focus to chart the course
I am the pilot right? The one in charge…
of all our
Errors are a surprise
I’m ready, I won’t agonize
My training it all comes into play
Foundations, they will save the day!
But Vibe Codin’ it isn’t a crime
No typos should get in your way
Vibe Coding, well it’s here to stay
[Repeat last verse]
Vibe Codin’
