ASCII (AI Song)

#AIart #AImusic #sunoai #Net+ #StudyGuide [Intro — horn section blast, driving rhythm section, spoken hype] (horn stab, driving rhythm) (spoken, hyped, soulful) Ladies and gentlemen... we are NOT here to play you just any old code tonight... We are here... to play you... the STANDARD! (full horn section and band slam in) [Verse 1 — soul revue, horn-driven, energetic] Well I'm talkin' 'bout a code now, and it's got a mighty name American Standard Code for Information — that's the claim! A-S-C-I-I, baby, that's the way we say it right Every letter, every number's got a number of its own tonight! Seven bits is all it takes, a hundred twenty-eight in all Every character assigned a number, standin' proud and tall! Capital A is sixty-five, lower a's ninety-seven — That's the American Standard, baby, callin' down from heaven! [Pre-Chorus — horns building, call-and-response] (call-and-response, horns punctuating) Give me a number! (give me a number!) For every single letter! (every letter!) Give me the standard! (the standard!) 'Cause ASCII does it better! [Chorus — HUGE horn-driven soul hook] It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Every character's got a number, that's no lie! It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Seven bits of glory reachin' up so high! A is sixty-five, the digit zero's forty-eight — ASCII's been the standard since nineteen sixty-three, it's great! It's the American Standard! (sing it now!) ASCII, baby — that's the only way, somehow! [Verse 2 — control characters and extended ASCII, soulful] Now the first thirty-two numbers, baby, ain't for printin' out — Control characters, silent, doin' work without a shout! Carriage return and line feed, tab and null and more — Workin' in the background, never seen but always sure! And when seven bits ain't quite enough to hold what you desire — Extended ASCII brings you eight, two-fifty-six entire! Symbols, accents, characters beyond the basic frame — The American Standard, baby, always playin' the game! [Chorus] It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Every character's got a number, that's no lie! It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Seven bits of glory reachin' up so high! A is sixty-five, the digit zero's forty-eight — ASCII's been the standard since nineteen sixty-three, it's great! It's the American Standard! (sing it now!) ASCII, baby — that's the only way, somehow! [Bridge — horn breakdown, gospel-tinged, building] (gospel-tinged, soulful breakdown) Now you might be wonderin' how this old standard still survives In a world of Unicode and UTF-eight, keepin' data alive Well here's the beautiful thing, the thing that makes it so — UTF-eight is built upon the ASCII code, you know! (building, horns swelling) The first hundred twenty-eight stay exactly the same — ASCII's the foundation of the whole encoding game! (full power, gospel choir energy) From mainframes to the modern web, the standard carries through — The American Standard, baby — still gettin' the job done for you! [Verse 3 — resolving, triumphant soul] So when your text is travelin' across the wire today Chances are that ASCII's helpin' show the world the way Every keystroke, every letter that you're typin' on the screen Got a number all assigned to it, the cleanest code we've seen! It's the standard, it's American, it's been around the block — Since nineteen sixty-three, baby, it's solid as a rock! A-S-C-I-I, the coding world's foundation, don't you know — The American Standard, baby — that's the way to go! [Final Chorus — biggest, full horn section, gospel power] It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Every character's got a number, that's no lie! It's the American Standard! (A-S-C-I-I!) Seven bits of glory reachin' up so high! A is sixty-five, the digit zero's forty-eight — ASCII's been the standard since nineteen sixty-three, it's great! It's the American Standard! (sing it now!) ASCII, baby — that's the only way, somehow! [Outro — horns wind down, spoken, soulful fade] (spoken, soulful, fading) A-S-C-I-I... the American Standard... Seven bits... a hundred twenty-eight characters... The foundation of it all, baby... Thank you... thank you very much... (final horn stab, band cuts out)
