Vibe Coding: reinterpreted in a BeeGees context
I use AI to translate a classic into a travesty
I’ve been using agentic artificial intelligence to make software, for better or worse. While I’ve been doing this, I’ve often thought of the Brothers Gibb and their song Jive Talking’ as it applies to Vibe Coding.
Here is the song that I built with Mureka, stealing vibes from the Bee Gees and mutating their lyrics toward an agentic AI software situation:
Here are the hackneyed lyrics I composed: AI is not to blame:
It’s just your vibe coding, you’re saving some face, yeah
Vibe coding, your code’s a disgrace
Vibe coding, so misunderstood, yeah
Vibe coding, you’re really no good
LLM, you’ll never know
Just what you take to me
LLM, you got so much
You gonna take away my energy
With all your vibe coding, you’re telling me lies, yeah
Clean syntax still gets in my eyes
Nobody believe what you say
It’s just your vibe coding that gets in the way (Oh my)
LLM, you’re so good
Treating me so cruel
There you go with your fancy lies
Leaving me lookin’ like a dumbstruck newb
With all your vibe coding, you’re saving some face, yeah
Vibe coding, your code’s a disgrace
Vibe coding, so misunderstood, yeah
Vibe coding, you just ain’t no good
You know that code writing is all very fine, yeah
Vibe coding just isn’t a crime
And if there’s somebody you’ll love till you die
Then all that vibe coding’ just gets in your eye, yeah (Woo)
Vibe coding, you’re telling me lies, yeah
Clean syntax still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
It’s just your vibe coding that gets in the way
You know that agentic is all very fine, yeah
Vibe coding’ just isn’t a crime
And if there’s software you’ll code till you die
Then all that vibe coding just gets in your eye, yeah, yeah
Oh, Vibe coding
Vibe coding, yeah
Oh, Vibe coding, yeah
