I'll Build Myself by Phil Nash - C++ Song Parody

A song about build systems in C++, based on the song "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen.
A song about building C++.
Lyrics:
When I was young
I’d never need to use Conan
And make config was just for fun
Those days are gone
Coding alone
I use GitHub like I’ve been shown
But when my PRs are all done
Nobody's home
Chorus:
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source
---
Hard to be sure
Sometimes my code is insecure
But using languages obscure
Remains the cure
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source
When I was young
I’d never need to use Conan
And make config was just for fun
Those days are gone
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source
I’ll build myself
Don’t want your libs
I’ll build myself
From the source

A great mix of funny, deep, and true.

He couldn't resist and left some comments in the video, a true programmer.

"When I was young, I'd never need to use Conan" :D

Awesome!

[@MateuszPusz]

Did you record this while waiting for your project to build from source? 🤪

[@joesilver75]

@@MateuszPusz In that case it would be a (double) album, not a song

[@el_mot]

​@@MateuszPusz I believe the whole text was written during the compilation, and recorded during the final linkage.

[@bimmerboard]

Well done, Phil!

[@WilhelmDrake]

Brilliant. I like you have a career in song.

[@think2086]

I had this idea to do C++ parody music a few years ago, but then was scared to do it. But this proves it can be done and be good. Nice.

Would crash to any wedding if you would be singing this there!! Beaufiful!
