SPIELMANNSPIEL

The original poster made the mistake of slighting C++ programmers, so Tim rose to the occasion with his version of '99 Bottles' in C++. It opened the floodgates and programmers from all over the world gave different versions in assorted languages... In 1998 I asked Tim for his permission to mirror his pages as part of my collection Best of Internet. Up to April 2002 I used his original pages and layout. Somewhere around middle 2001 Tim's pages disappeared from the web and he and his collection never came back. In April 2002 I decided to restart the site with a fresh design. Within four months I got 90 contributions with more silly or obscure, sometimes even useable implementations... Tim maintained a collection of '99 Bottles of Beer' programmed in 227 different programming languages. The idea has been initiated by a post to an humor mailing list, where somebody sent the full lyrics in early 1994.
