"When it's Joel" by Van Halen



I have been hanging out in my office all weekend working on a paper. At 2:03 PM today, I observed Joel arriving at his office. In honor of this occasion, I have rewritten the lyrics to the song "When it's Love" by Van Halen. Enjoy?



Everybody's lookin' for some [map projection]
Somethin' to fill in the [whitespace]
We think a lot but don't talk much about it
'Til [figure-ground ratios] get out of control
How do I know when it's [Joel]
I can't tell you but the [algorithm's] forever
How does it feel when it's [Joel]
It's just something you [geovisualize] together
When it's [Joel]
You look at every [choropleth] in a crowd
Some shine and some keep you guessin'
Waiting for some [cartogram] to come into focus
Teach you your final [Joel] lesson
How do I know when it's [Joel]
I can't tell you but it [autoscales] forever
How does it feel when it's [Joel]
It's just something you [geovisualize] together
Oh oh oh oh
Oh when it's [Joel]
Oh oh oh oh
You can feel it yeah
Oh oh oh oh
No [cartographic element's] missing
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Nothing's missing
How do I know when it's [Joel]
I can't tell you but it [autoscales] forever
How does it feel when it's [Joel]
It's just something you [geovisualize] together
When it's [Joel]
When it's [Joel]
[This map'll] last forever
When it's [Joel]
You and I
We're gonna [make] this [flow map] together
When it's [Joel]
When it's [Joel]
You can [project] it
We'll make it [geovisualize] forever
When it's [Joel]
