I'm N-ary the tree, I am, N-ary the tree, I am, I am. I'm getting traversed by the parser next door, She's traversed me seven times before. And ev'ry time it was an N-ary (N-ary!)

Hermans' Hermits. Paul Revere and the Raiders never did it....
I'm not familiar with a song with those lyrics, but Herman's Hermits did "I'm Henry the Eighth, I am..." in a serious Cockney accent.
Is that what you're thinking of?
The above is *obviously* a "geeky" perversion of "I'm Henry the Eighth, I am..." by Hermans' Hermits. "Henry" in a "serious Cockney accent" ends up sounding something like "N-ary": basically the 'H' becomes silent and an 'a' is phonically inserted before the 'r', resulting in 'en-ar-y', which phonically matches 'N-ary'. The rest of the lyrical
That's properly typed as 'Enry, but yeah, they insert an extra 'e' in there.
subsitution logicall follows from there... Just like the Emperor's 'Death Star' becomes 'rm *', with much the same effect... (There is somewhere in Usenet-Land a silly re-write of the "Star Wars" story titled "Unix Wars".)
Then there's the skin I read about a decade ago, with a sysadmin skin of Doom.... (use the shotgun on that hung process....)
