When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
“Write in C.”
As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
“Write in C.”
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO’s dead and buried,
Write in C.
I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.
If you’ve just spent nearly 30 hours,
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
BASIC’s not the answer.
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won’t quite cut it.
Write in C.

The Maltese Falcon was first made a movie in 1931 and starred Ricardo Cortez as Sam Spade. It was made before the Motion Picture Production Code went into effect and hence is far more risque than the famous 1941 version with Humphrey Bogart.
Cortez was Jewish and from New York. His real name was Jacob Krantz. He used “Cortez” to take advantage of the Latin lover craze created by Rudolph Valentino. He eventually quit acting and went to work as a stockbroker.
