[To the tune of Van Halen's Finish What Ya Started]

Come on Barry finish what ya started
Into your office all these bugs I've carted
Now fire up your IDE
There's quite a lot I agree
You wanted bugs, now you've got them
Now fire up your big brain stem
The repro steps are crisp and clear
Please get started while I go have a beer

Come on Barry finish what ya started
You wrote a bug or two
Into your office all of them I've carted
Now you've got some bugs to chew
After you've fixed them I will test them
And show you where you got them wrong
I love that one, it's a gem
So sorry your work day it does prolong

So come on Barry please
Come on Barry finish what ya started
Did you think you were done?
Please make these bugs be dearly departed
Boy this is so much fun!

Come on Barry finish what ya started
Watch out for that one it's not for the fainthearted
Come on Barry finish what ya started
Into your office all these bugs I've carted
Barry, come on
Barry, come on
