[Seriously](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVc_VPMsj7A&watch_response)? Someone liked my "[Every build you break](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV5fViOoV_8)" song so much that they took a whole bunch of programmers to a real recording studio, made a video, and created their own version of the song? with almost totally different words?
