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
