At the end of our retrospectives and other special episodes, we like to close things out by singing a song. This was an impromptu bonus song where I decided to do the a song a capella with no backing track. It is only the second verse of the song.

Cameo appearances by Loki the Bearded Dragon and j.morp_art's arm.

Be warned: I'm a professional programmer rather than a singer for a reason. Michael Duchemin and Stateless Code disclaim any and all liability for psychological trauma you may experience as a result of listening to me sing this song.
