Ariel’s C Programming Song

Ariel, listen to me is better than anything they got over there. But frills like inheritance Efficiently dangerous! Program in C With malloc() and free()! Close to the hardware! Segmentation fault

A clip from The Little Mermaid replaces Sebastian’s song lyrics with praise for C programming: it is close to the hardware, uses malloc() and free(), and avoids higher-level features like inheritance. The punchline is that the song ends in repeated “Segmentation fault” errors, making it a reaction to C programmers’ fondness for low-level power despite its danger and crashes.
