I like to listen to music while programming and writing. I’ve been listening to a band called Moonface during my writing processes. It makes for excellent background “zoning ut” music while writing or programming. Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d share a couple songs.

Fast Peter
The electronic keyboard reminds me of the title music in the movie True Romance (Christian Slater/Rosanna Arquette). Lyrics start around 1:15. The mid-life crisis in me digs the line, “He told me all about it on the balcony, when we were high on drugs”

Teary Eyes and Bloody Lips
This is off the new album called Heartbreaking Bravery. This is less electronic – more of an anthem, building up to a strong finish around the 2:00 mark. This song starts right away with the line: “Teary eyes and bloody lips makes you look like Stevie Nicks”. How can you not listen to that at least one time?
When I code, every few lines I like to listen to the increasingly deep sound my whiskey bottle makes when I put it down again on the table.
Jeff: That is very very funny.
I also like to sing along to the following formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(“Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho man/Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho Man “,”Macho”,”Macro”)
Aside: I dread the day when the grid will get so big that “YMCA” will be a cell reference, meaning I can no longer use it as a named range.
Damn, Excel is insensitive. Case insensitive, that is.
Hence not one but two SUBSTITUTES are required to get the full stereophonic effect:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(“Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho man/Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho! Ow…. “,”Macho”,”Macro”),”macho”,”macro”)
Jeff -
Use this:
=SUBSTITUTE(“blah blah”,”acho”,”acro”)
Or
=SUBSTITUTE(“Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho man/Macho, macho man/I’ve got to be a macho! Ow…. “,”ch”,”cr”)
hmm…
I’m getting some strange results here
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(“Macho Man”, “Man”, “”), “a”, “as”), “c”,”s”),” “, “le”), “M”, “”)
Can someone help me out?
Dick…that’s good for the Chorus, but it mangles a few lines in the verse:
* creck it out my body
* call him Mister Eagle, dig his crains
* Body, body, body don’tcra stop my body
* Macro, macro man (see my big thick mustacre)
Likewise Jon, your solution misses these lines:
* Every man wants to be a macho macho man
* You can best believe that, he’s a macho man
* Ugh! Macho..baby!
