Repeated exposure to sub-optimal code and a 7 year old son obsessed with Pokemon and here’s what you get:
(If you don’t have a 7 year old boy and aren’t familiar with the song you can read and listen to YouTube’s offering in all it’s delicious cheesiness.)
Exception! (Gotta Catch em all)
(Pokemon theme song)
I wanna code the very best
Like no bug ever was
To catch them is my real test
To suppress them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each exception to just ignore
The message that’s inside
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny,
Exception! Oh you’re my best friend
But our code we must defend
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s sad but true
Our catch block will pull us through,
You breach me and I’ll teach you,
Exception! gotta catch’em all
Gotta catch em all
Yeah…
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face.
I will battle every day
To claim my bug-free space.
“Finally”,
Don’t feel neglected
There’s no better theme.
We can expect the unexpected
A project manager’s dream!
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny,
Exception! Oh you’re my best friend
But our code we must defend
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s sad but true
Our catch block will pull us through,
You breach me and I’ll teach you,
Exception! gotta catch’em all
Gotta catch em all
Gotta catch em all
Gotta catch em all
Gotta catch em all
Yeah…
(Guitar Solo)
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny,
Exception! Oh you’re my best friend
But our code we must defend
Exception! (gotta catch em all) it’s sad but true
Our catch block will pull us through,
You breach me and I’ll teach you,
Exception! gotta catch’em all
Gotta catch em all
Exception!

Wow, Stephen, that was really dorky…but good job.
My 12-yr-old is still obsessed with Pokémon so you may have a long way to go.
