Matt Maxwell, a freelance graphic designer, is not gonna be rockin the charts any time soon, but he has a place in my Top 40. Check out his songs (six videos so far, plus one funny talk-only intro) about Web design, self-promotion, iPhones, and the technology we love to hate:

A still from “OOP — I can’t comprehend”, Matt’s take on Brit’s “Oops I did it again”.
OOP — I can’t comprehend
Lyrics and musical stylings by Matt Maxwell
(Sung to the tune of Britney Spears “Oops I did it again”)
(Pathetic sniffling)…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I really-can’t understand
I know that I should, but it’s not my friend
You tell me that-I-should make a class
Package it up to-be reusable
I’m tapping all my intelligence
But my brain’s just not big enough
So complicated
OOP — I can’t comprehend
I try-ed real hard, please explain it again
It just won’t sink in
OOP — I’m sure I’m too dumb
My brain has gone numb
It’s not intuitive
You see my issue is this
I’m just a designer
Who now has to be a programmer too
I try, but I’m in a daze.
Can’t you see, that
I’m lost in sooo many ways
I’ve watched all the tutorials
Read 400-page books too
It’s hopeless…
OOP — I can’t comprehend
I try-ed real hard, please explain it again
It just won’t sink in
OOP — I’m sure I’m too dumb
My brain has gone numb
It’s not intuitive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
OOP I can’t comprehend
tried real hard
I’m lost in this abstract concept
And you probably think that I’m hopeless
I’m just not gettin it!
OOP a ridiculous word!
The dumbest I’ve heard!
and so hard to learn
I’ll never get it!
OOP I’m gonna quit my job
and sell some shoes
At the local Walmart
OOP I can’t comprehend
It stands for “Object-Oriented Programming”
OOP you think I’ll give up
But I need a job
So I’ll keep on trying…
(More pathetic blubbering)…
I hear ya, Matt. I hear ya.
