I use Roll Out or Push It as my main deploy songs as well, but it doesn't get far into the song before the deploy is done. Once in a while, I throw Muhna Muhna into the mix.

I changed my co-worker's song to Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up nearly a year ago when he was AFK. He hasn't changed it because now every time he deploys code, I get to listen to that damn song.

Last night while taking a break from coding to organize some playlists I though to myself, "I wonder if there's any correlation between the type of music people listen to VS the type of coding they're doing?"

On that note, does anyone know if there's a Pandora station dedicated to hacking?

For rollouts of new Granola versions, it's usually either "Let's Get It / Sky's The Limit" by Young Jeezy (http://youtu.be/GBhipX5cHtA) or "Destroy the Opposition" by Dying Fetus (http://youtu.be/-YVUyNBjQiI).

I have always refused to participate in a language war, but I never said anything about a music war. All these songs do is push me to the medicine cabinet for some Excedrin. My choices:

When I'm not quite in the zone and need to get there quickly: Tears for Fears, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

When I'm 300 lines of code short of a breakpoint and I know I'll be here for a while: Depeche Mode, "Enjoy the Silence", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diT3FvDHMyo

When I've already figured out exactly how it's supposed to work and I'm just slamming code: Romantics, "What I Like About You", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvHKjDKY_O8

For debugging (which can be a lot like sex): Marvin Gaye, "Sexual Healing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn4i8bAfnMY

And finally, for regression testing, when it suddenly occurs to me that I really am changing the world: Handel's Water Music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kuw8YjSbKd4

Rick Ross - Push It

The only song to push real code. :)

If that is so then I guess there are a lot of people writing crappy 80s code.

Pushing code across 20-odd servers using OpDemand only takes 30 seconds, so there's not much time for tunage. Still I'd have to go with the mashup:

Deadmau5 vs. Salt N' Pepa - Ghost N' Push It
