Mister blue screen please tell us why
You had to come stay for so long
Where did we go wrong?
 
From Wikipedia
 
A Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSoD, bluescreen, or Blue Screen of Doom) is an error screen displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage.
Bluescreens on NT-based Windows systems can be caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system can also cause bluescreens. Sometimes, when the CPU is hit in any way, the computer may restart and show the BSoD.

Mr. Blue Screen
 
Blue screen shinin', don't know why
Said somethin' not po-lite
It's stopped workin' ev'rybody's in my way
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, oy vey
 
Huntin' down the bug for you
See all the code with comments nice and witty
On the screens which once looked pretty
Mister blue screen is living here today hey, hey
 
Mister blue screen please tell us why
You had to come stay for so long
Where did we go wrong?
 
"Hey you, a compiler trace
We've got some code to replace!"
A consternation, mister blue screen's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
 
Hey there mister blue
We're displeased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody frowns at you
 
Mister blue screen, mister blue screen
Mister blue screen
 
Mister blue, you I will fight
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
[No more time to think this over]
Never mind I'll recompile you this
I'll recompile you this way...
 
Mister blue screen please tell us why
You had to come stay for so long
Where did we go wrong?
 
Hey there mister blue
We're displeased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody frowns at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
