It's goofy.

No, literally, pippo is the italian word for goofy. Nanowars lyrics are full of hidden easter eggs. Enjoy the hunt. 🧐

@Doomed_Daniel @whitequark I think it's supposed to be ironic. The "protagonist" is just learning Java, which is why he's writing a Hello World program. He repeats the usual sales pitch about Java being type-safe, then gets a NullPointerException.

@whitequark @mirabilos they have songs from an IKEA Christmas song to singing the German text of a package of fish sticks.
So yes, they definitely have songs for a lot of (non) occasions.

@mxk
Why did you leave out Uranus and Schwanzwald? Any reason? 🤣

No, srsly, I love all those tiny details like in Uranus in the credits they have a list of the girls dancing in the video with their stage name and their real names. Their stage names are all names from Uranus moons. OF COURSE they are.

Nanowar of Steel are a real, genuine band that exists and has been touring for 20 years, and they actually are just this ludicrous, if it's any reassurance.
